RAIN! Beautiful, sweet rain.
This is awesome! It has been raining since 10:30 last night. It has been so horribly dry around here this summer. Although there have been rain showers, it seems like they always have gone to the north or south of the top of the Plateau.
It has been so bad that, when blueberry picking last month, the moss on the surface of the swamps was turning brown and the blueberries were actually drying into raisins on the bushes.
The groundwater monitoring well at Tobyhanna State Park shows that the groundwater has dropped over 6 feet since April.

Re: RAIN! Beautiful, sweet rain.
We could honestly use rain like this for a couple of weeks solid.
I honestly can not remember a summer this dry

I was surprised when I got up to pee and heard it dripping onto the air conditioner around 3:30.

Re: RAIN! Beautiful, sweet rain.
And oddly, we aren't under a drought advisory.
What we need are a couple tropical depressions back to back. I remember back in '87 we had three in a row w/ less than half a day separating each. 12 days of rain.
Of course I had 14 days of standing water on the floor of my basement apartment.Sed ego sum homo indomitus

Hoping the rain stops tomorrow. I wanted to get to the range. But like others have said, we really need it.
