Air temperature 46 F, wind southeast gusting to 20 mph, overcast with scattered rain. Gale warning along the coast. Giant Inflatable Santa bobs and weaves on his makeshift pedestal.

The city's diesel-powered vacuum cleaner and crew have passed down our street, removing leaf piles for composting. 48 F, winds gusting over 20 mph, rain. Remember that, the next time you want to complain about fat lazy public employees.

Flash/bang lag indicates that some of the current noise is half a mile away. Power didn't blink, so it may be cloud to cloud. Giant Inflatable Santa remains standing and unscorched.
