Enjoy the rain. Allergy problems more this year, too. Weather has been all over the place.
After 17 years in Vegas (Nevada), and living in ABQ for 13, I am VERY VERY VERY happy to see rain, and hope we have lots of snow. We need it. And, on a personal note...I am sick of "Brown and Dead' plants, trees, you name it.
Not so bad... With all the rain the weeds are now tall enough where I don't have to bend over to pull them, and the sand is soft/muddy instead of like baked adobe bricks

Weeds that tall typically means more places for rattlesnakes to potentially hide in.
Just when I wanted to explore some abandoned house, the wall of weeds keeps me back like a well patrolled fence!!
The formerly dry lake literally next to me, that now has kayakers in it for the first time in a few years, would beg to differ with the OP's question.
LOVE this rain. Keep it comin'.
Well....after the wettest June and July in years, the month of August - supposedly the wettest month of the year - has been the driest in years. And what little rain has fallen has been in short-lived showers that did nothing to put moisture into the soil. Don't know if that's true state-wide or not. There have been strong thunderstorms in some scattered locations, but nothing like a good area-wide soaking and the general weather pattern has been totally reversed from a normal August pattern. Northerly winds instead of the usual southerly for this time of year.

I could definitely feel that garbage out here on the flat plains.
Just a sickening reminder that winter will probably strike me before I get a chance to bone out of here.
I will say that hot weather and rain makes for a perfect mix.
As a person that doesn't drive every day, one begins to feel a bit like the undead after getting both wet and frozen to the bone.

Thanks to July we're still up about 3/4 of an inch for the season, at least in Albuquerque. But I hear you - bring on the rain!
It's looking kind of cloudy out there this afternoon...fingers crossed!
