Another Downpour
June 24th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
It was a little cool today so I was working inside. I heard some noise in the backyard and looked to my right to see it raining there. When I looked to my left out the north window it wasn’t raining. Within a few seconds the heavy downpour moved over our house and into our north yard. Within a few minutes we had close to a quarter inch of rain. Many large drops falling vertically. It was gone as quickly as it had begun.
This is the soggiest spring I can remember for some time. The nearest weather service office at the Akron-Canton Regional Airport shows the total precipitation for the year so far to be 27.89 inches. The normal there through June is 18.82 inches.
There are parts of our yard that I have not been able to mow yet…just too wet. Some people are complaining. Not me. I am glad that it is raining…and not snowing.
