I don't know if its just me but I feel like this spring in New York has been terrible. We have had so much clouds and rain. Anyone know the reason for all the rain/clouds here in our state?
Fronts seem to be having a difficult time moving through the Northeastern US; last week's rain was related to a stalled front, and the same can be said for any rain seen thus far this week. Enjoy tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday, should be sunny days.
Unless you are literally being flooded out of house and home, count your blessings. Where I live we have received 6% of average rainfall since the 1st of the year. Trees, shrubs, little animals? All dying.

Ironically we have had very little rain for this time of year here in south Louisiana. As far as I can remember, spring here is always soaking wet. I haven't even had to cut the grass in three weeks. And what's even stranger is all of the flooding going on around the Mississippi, and we are dry as a bone here in Walker.
But yeah, my sister living in Schuyler county told me about all of the rain.
I saw that the Lake Champlain area has been having some flooding issues.
I think one of the best things you can do is to start to monitor the weather. I started years back because I sail but these days with weather as crazy as it "currently" is I now look day at sites with radar and satellite feeds and predict my own weather.
Then you can start to look at earthquakes and volcanoes, nature is spectacular.
Here's a couple of my favorite sites. Always use the loop feature so you can see how its moving.

...The thought of yet another cloudless, sunny, warm day, here in upstate NY...I'm not sure I can
take it anymore........................................... ............seriously, planting has been tough in some fields, but as long as we have a good dry June/July....should be an excellent year for hay(in terms of bales/acre).
Loving that ridge that extends from New Mexico and Arizona northward to Montana - should be here by Sunday / Monday....and bring with it near 90º temperatures for the NYC Metro.
