McKenzie Seeds - 2013 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
Rose:
0945
We're lucky here, there has been very little rain since 0730 and the cloud cover has on a few occasions shown a little bit of blue sky, oh that it would last! The wind keeps constant at about 46 to 50km/h still from the northeast. :(
Rose:
0600 hours
Not raining at this hour but the wind keeps blowing 45 to 50 km/h another not a very nice day. 24h rain amount 14.4ml according to the official site, on my rain gauge 24ml. In the nest box Hurricane is blowing in the wind but sleeping.

They both like to perch under the black/green ledge on the south side of the bulding where it's out of the wind, it's one of the places they cache their prey. :)

That looks like that was the western end of the storm that was hitting Winnipeg a bit earlier - the system is circulating/rotating east to west ... looking at the radar, once you are past that, the rest of the rain we will receive is sort of the tail end of the spiral if that makes sense. Nice to see Brooklyn and Hurricane dry during a major storm ... not like 2011 when even a nestbox couldn't help out two still a bit inexperienced parents. (for folks who are new to the McKenzie Seeds pair, that was their first really bad weather as parents)
