I just dumped my rain gauge after supper (6:30pm). I just dumped two inches out of it again and it's still raining. That makes 15" since last Sunday at 3pm. Parts of Herkimer are flooded again. The neighbors house at the end of my road has been flooded out three times since last Sunday. Here we go again another gully washer hitting us. Going to be a long night.
Rained everyday here last week. This week looks like a repeat. Going to break out the squirt gun if I'm going to do any shooting.

I almost wish I could write about those types of issues where I live. All we seem to get a lot of this time of year is Virga and we've had 3 days of it and maybe it'll be 4 after today..

Unless one is in agriculture or lives in a flood plain,
There is no such thing as too much rain.

It has been a month since I have seen a drop. Before that I recieved about 3/4" one day. So a few hours of rain in 6 weeks.
I would gladly suffer too much rain.
I hear you brother,
I don't even want to remember when we had nice, dry weather last time. The stickiness of the air is one thing but it also attracts my worst enemy = bugs!
I just miss those dark, cold winter days...
In the past 30 days we got over 10" and storms are forecast for the next 7days. I would like a break too.

Don't think we have had a tenth of an inch of rain in the last two months!! Durn near 100 today
Well, you could be fighting fire. It seems like this country always has areas of one extreme in some areas and completely opposite in others.
I cant stand the rain! Newburgh area of NY, rain again today.... can't finish my furniture restoration as the air makes the wood gummy.

Here in coastal NH we have had a steady week of rain, with another week of rain forecasted. The garden loves it (especially the slugs), it recharges the ground water, but some streams have flooded. We must have had at least 8" of rain so far.
I have cleaned the reloading area, and will start cleaning the barn shortly. Good excuse to stay indoors. The lawn will need to be hayed, not cut if this keeps up.
I do remember 2005 when we didn't get any rain from April to September, so I try not to complain. The rain here has been extraordinarily constant through the spring, and now into the summer. I have very sandy soil, so it can stand steady rain, but the half hour to hour long downpours do a lot of damage. It's raining now, and if the sun burns it off latter it will be a sauna. Again.

I just dumped my rain gauge in the backyard. Over 1/32" of dust! Havent seen rain here for about a month, but the forecasters are saying that it may rain most of the July 4th weekend! I don't care, as I can cover my smoker and we can eat inside! If we do get rain this weekend, we probably wont see any more until opening weekend of dove season. (Sept. 1st) It's almost guaranteed to rain then!
If you guys on the E. coast have too much, send some down here! I'll even pay postage!
