Yep, more rain still around - overcast and cloudy all day. Unofficial
(non-watch) report of kettle of several thousand broadwings near Edroy
late Sunday; apparently they stayed put in the brush, or went farther west
than the watch site could see. My money's on them laying low and waiting
for tomorrow, along with whatever's else's been backed up with 'em from
the storm fronts.
