Not enough daylight this eve for the loop around Lake Whittemore, but viewed a spectacular sunset show courtesy of Mother Nature. Good to be back on bike after 3 days of rains, thanks to the interplay of Hurricane Katia off the east coast and the inland remnants of Tropical Storm Lee. We had "just" over four inches of rain here, but areas not too far to the west got pummelled with eight inches, and this storm combined with the rains of Hurricane Irene a couple of weekends ago, produced ~ 25 inches of rain in a 10 to 12 day period over areas of upstate NY (ex.: Hunter Mtn area) in the Catskills, resulting in devastating flooding (only good thing is not too many people live in those mountainous, rural villages). Beautiful sunset this eve after skies cleared earlier today as Katia exited stage right after her outermost cloud bands moved overhead mid-day and then safely out to sea on the way for a projected 3-day cross Atlantic Ocean trip to the northern British Isles. Partly sunny/cloudy, air temp 70 F , dew pt 57 F , light W winds 7 to 12 mph.
