...just in case any of you aren't aware what we're dealing with in New England right now. Basements are flooding left and right, streets are being closed because they're under water, and landscaping is being washed right out of people's yards. We've got these ponds sprouting up right in the middle of regularly travelled roads, schools are closed, and we're STILL looking at at least two more days of rain (and who knows how long it'll take the runoff to slow down and the rivers to start receding.) I swear, if ANYONE so much as utters a single mention for the next two months about it being "so dry there's a high fire threat" I'm going to threaten them with fire.

Don't get me wrong, I've got no problem with the important meteorological process that is rain -- it's just two straight weeks of it that pisses me off.

Man, if I was still in school I suppose I wouldn't be complaining either. I'm in Derry, NH -- we're right inside the that big southeastern NH/northeastern MA rain bubble (the one that they keep upping the numbers in from 6" to 8" to 10"+) And yes, the "Ark" phrase is a popular one right now It's incredible when you see some of the pictures people are sending in -- vehicles are entirely underwater in some places, and they're saying the rivers still aren't due to crest until some time tonight. Needless to say sump pumps are a hot item right now...

Be happy you're getting rain man. Between October '05 and the beginning of May '06 our area didn't even get an inch of rain. We're having one of the worst droughts ever here.

Pretty wet here too, not even half as bad as N.E. but it's been raining for the last week here.

I actually welcome the rain at this time of year. It cleanses the air of all that pollen and dust that I'm allergic to.

Here in North Jersey, we're expecting showers, rain and T-storms all week.

See, a little rain (just to dampen down the pollen and whatnot in the air) is fine by me -- it just means my eyes won't be horribly itchy after biking for a couple hours. And I would be a little more forgiving of the weather if we at least had some sweet storms as well (lightning, thunder, etc.) But we haven't had one flash of lightning nor crack of thunder -- just rain and grey sky, day after day.
