It’s raining. It’s raining a lot.
It started sometime after midnight Sunday morning, and apart from a couple of hours that afternoon, it hasn’t stopped. At my house we crossed the four-inch mark for this event shortly after I woke up this morning, and it’s supposed to keep going for most of today too.
This won’t end the drought, but I bet we at least shed a category.
Mind, it’s mostly just an inconvenience. Around here we measure distance above sea level in hundreds of feet instead of single digits, so there is no widespread flooding. And if the forecast holds (tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be nice), Nathan might even practice soccer this week. We’ll see.
It usually takes sustained cold and grayness to put me in a weather-related funk, and I’m not there now, but I’m definitely ready to see the sun again.

I get into a funk whenever the sun doesn’t shine for this long of a stretch. It doesn’t have to be cold. In fact, I tolerate it better when it’s cold, because then I might be thinking about my birthday or Christmas or something.

I don’t envy your having to deal with all the “tropical events” that you get. It’s rare that a hurricane makes it this far north and, if it does, it’s usually just some wimpy rain storm. No, we get all our “fun” weather in the winter, dammit.
Good luck, Seester; I’m hoping for you…
