Rainy & Warm Weather On New Year’s Day 2022

The new year began with fog, rain, and temperatures in the mid-50s (12℃) here in the Naugatuck River Valley. Since there was no wind, it felt warm outside. This allowed me to capture photos of some raindrops, seedpods, and small mushrooms. We’d better enjoy these temperatures. Tomorrow, it is supposed to freeze at night. And there might also be some snow in the forecast for this upcoming week.

Sara was at a 5 K run from Cross Country at Stratton Brook State Park in Simsbury. She finished the run in time before the storms arrived in Connecticut. It was extremely humid in the low 80s before the storm hit. Meanwhile, the lightning strikes were intense. The thunder rumbled through the valley. They shook our house twice. The rain poured down so hard our new gutters couldn’t keep up with it. But after all this craziness was over, we were rewarded with a sunset.

This afternoon, the sky rumbled for about three hours before it started to rain. We had some storms south and north of us. And finally, the storm came to us. The rain was needed. It hasn’t rained much in August. After the heavy rainfalls in Spring to mid-Summer, we still have some abnormally dry areas in Connecticut. No, the air is much cleaner and cooler again.
