Happy rain?

2008-07-25

There has been a lot of rain this summer, hasn't there?  There is also a lot of extra growth on the trees, lots more vegetation everywhere.  Sure there are more mosquitos, more weeds, and more gardening issues, but we have to find the good side of all this rain.  There has to be a balance in nature, so there must be a reason for all the rain.  Maybe we needed a good cleaning! :-)

More O2 for us to breathe, which means less co2... hmm global warming?

Now the rain is becoming a problem.  The ground is getting saturated, increasing chances of road cave-ins with the heavy rain, and trees becoming more easily uprooted by heavy winds...

Does anyone know how many days have been rain-free since the beginning of June?  The last time I heard on the news was July 1st, saying there had been only 6 days in June which it did not rain (here in the local Plattsburgh area), but July seems to have been just as bad.  Does anyone know?
