The rain is good in that it helps you find the leaks in your house and car.
| house? check
car? check
basement? check

Hi NE ark builders! I though I'd bring some nice weather for you from Seattle. Nope, did not happen.

Garland, that Ray Bradbury story is called "All Summer in a Day." There is one hour of sun every seven years.
You poor people in NE! I've been complaining because it's been overcast and gloomy around these parts for weeks (our June gloom), but 10 days of rain! Backyards turned into riverbeds? Wow.

I'm beginning to feel like a mushroom. This morning at 8 AM it looked like 8 PM outside it was so dark!

You may feel like a mushroom. Our lawn is covered with them!

I think building the ark is going to be cheaper than fixing the basement leaks.

I just returned from a week long trip to the NE (Conn, Mass, NJ/Ny, Me, Va) and you can have me to thank for those few days about a week ago of sunshine and nice weather you had. Apparently it had been raining for a month or so before we got there but the weather turned nice about the day we arrived. From your post it sounds like it took a turn.
Now that I'm paying ridiculous punitive rates to water my avocado trees it'd be nice if someone would build a nice large pipeline to bring some of your excess water this way.

Hey, guess what? The sun is out in North Jersey. I better run out to see it before it starts to rain again.

** sigh **
Here in Houston we had our first thunderstorm in FOUR WEEKS pass through Monday night ... where I live we got lightning and thunder and heavy clouds for about 2 hours ... but not a drop of rain. We've had 38 straight days with temps above 90, 5 of the last 6 had highs above 100.
You know that happy crunching noise you hear when you walk through fresh snow? Well, I hear that every time I walk across my lawn, only it's dead grass ... even after I have watered the lawn!

karp--Yeah, quick! Everything's all shiny and glistening. We've had two downpours already today (also North J) and I don't expect this to last.

62 degrees!!! That's our high for the day. Yesterday we got all the way up to 63. I want to scream!
Oh, and taking the dogs out has been a real joy.  | |

I have ruined every pair of my shoes now (it always rains as I am getting out of work), and that costs more than some roof leak repair.
