OMG! It's Actually RAINING outside!

[sharkeeper]

I thought rain was a null function as of late. Everything here is brown... even the trees are losing their leaves! Hopefully we'll get a few days of this. Certainly no drought-buster by any means, but at least it's something!

Anyone else affected by trends in the weather? I look out my window and now see the water getting wet!

Cheers!

too much rain and the ground can't absorb it and you get flooding. happy rain is good though.

Actually, its raining here too (Northern Delaware)....and we are in a drought, so it's good

But I don't feel like going to XC practice later on today....

Yea, we need a constant, slow rain for a few days....

wisconsin seemed to have been spared the dryness this year...
only slightly under annual rainfall totals so far.

We're getting some much needed rain right now. The paper this week had reported that the town only had 12 days of water left because of drought.

Scattered thunderstorms are in the forecast today... we'll see how that follows through this afternoon. Oh please oh please oh please...

As much as we need it all I can think about is the misery of my commute home in this mess. Washington area drivers immediately aim for guardrails or other cars as soon as the pavement is wet.

LA's been horribly cloudy for the past 2 weeks. El nino strikes!

Growing up in DC, I know what you mean. Half an inch of snow on the ground? City shuts down.

Now that I am a bit farther north, its not as bad. Course up here on Long Island, it can be raining like crazy and people still drive 20+ over the limit.

woohoo, null rain function!

void rain(){
string condition = "cloudy";
while(condition == "cloudy"){
water++;
brownness--;
}
}

 

Well there goes my Birthday camping trip

My prediction was right on. I drove all of 3 miles on my way home and saw a Saab nose first into a guardrail on the outer loop of the beltway at 2:35 in the afternoon. Fortunately all the rubberneckers had not yet had time to totally screw things up when I passed it.
