Only 3 inches!!!!!

so I'm listening to the news tonight.... and the weatherman is saying that it has rained a grand total of 2.97 inches in 6 months. That was our rainy season too. I think I am gonna blame the Canadiens for this one. They are sitting up there drinking their fancy canadien beer, sitting in their canadien pine rockers.... and laughing at us, while they steal all our rain. Not cool Dennis. (no I haven't neeb gniknird)

Yeah, it's mid-May and my lawn's already half brown. It rained almost all day here on the west end a couple days ago, and we're still only halfway to our average.

Mattsbox-

Canada didn't steal all the rain. All the thunderstorms are here in Chicago. It is ridiculous how much rain we've had.

Yeah, I hear ya. I worked in the rain for 3 hours today before being sent home early for the second day this week. Makes for a small paycheck that way. I think we have enough rain now, please make it stop (except for nights and weekends) until November.

We could stand some here in south, central Indiana too.

Stormed here today and it was just pretty much wind. Ripped several sheets of metal off the barn roof.

I think the average here is 5" a year. I think that water will become more imporant then oil.
