      It is 9f -13c and we might get all the way up to 28f -2c. I think they're being a bit too optimistic because it is totally overcast.

      @Victoria I see you've been getting lots of rain lately. Do I presume you have no way of collecting it because rain barrel collectors would be useless most of the year?

        Well, the rain came between 8.30 and 11,30 along with a little thunder and lightening, giving us a wonderful 24mm ... hurray. Now the sun is out and it is 16c. No more rain until perhaps the weekend.

        Hi Lori. Yes we have a 19,000 lire concrete cisterna under the front raised patio. ... but it is useless as we have rain so infrequently. Plus water is cheap here. We pay an average of 11 Euros a month except the Summer months go to about 22 Euros when we are watering. Those prices include our garbage collection. Our also have a small rain barrel from 25 years ago under the Bougainvilla ...

            The forecast was correct for today - cloudy and cold. Same deal tomorrow. And Thursday. I’m with you @pete - it’s a waste of the extra light as it’s so gloomy and miserable.
