5:00 pm – rain is now up to 1/2 an inch, a lot more than I was lead to believe, and every last drop welcome, even the sudden downpour while I was trying to deal with a trespassing bicyclist. It was raining cats ‘n dogs several times according to my gauge.

Be careful if you find yourself on the road. Could face problems, hopefully minor.

  • We've had a goodly amount, too. Don't have no fancy gages, so can't tell how much. Just loving the sound of rain on the roof.

  • At PV School, it was .26 inches in our rain gauge. Did a town run yesterday, to run the "Just Kids" 3-K (Our school won the first prize in our category!), and it was really wild on the highway with downpours, fog/rain, and aggressive tailgating Friday drivers going to the Marathon (pulled over a lot), who would pass me during a blind curve and double yellow line.
    It seemed that every time I went from a store, where I was shopping, to my truck, I would get miserably drenched by a sudden deluge!
