The "strange yellow orb" aka the sun makes an appearance

I do not think my use of the phrase "the strange yellow orb" (aka the sun) is unique to me. My use of this phrase goes back over 30 years ago when my Dad was still alive and we in the Mid-Atlantic along with New England (where my Dad was living) had several days of cloudy weather along with rain. He called me up and told me that he had a strange yellow orb in the sky, had I seen it? I said yes, and we both laughed. 

I am in process of working on a post for Friday about the effects of the recent atmospheric rivers in California. I don't know about today, but I know that yesterday, Tuesday January 17, the"strange yellow orb" made an appearance at least in some parts of California.

And we in New Jersey are seeing the "strange yellow orb" today. While we have had some cloudy and rainy days recently, it is along the lines of a normal rainy weather, nothing extraordinary.

In closing, I would not be a child of the 60s if I did not share the Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun"

Thanks for posting that. Thanks for sharing your story about your Dad. Mine was always making jokes like that too.
