There was definite evidence of that, the stream in Cavendish was already real high in May during 2006.
At least in 2007, 2008 and 2009, May wasn't particularly wet and it looks like late July could be drying up.  |
2004, my first year in Vermont, was the third rainiest summer in Vermont history. There was another year that was bad, probably 2006 like you said. This year has been bad. Considering summer is supposed to be our payback time, we've been getting jipped lately.
If it's any consolation, we've been getting good sleeping weather. I've been under the blanket every night. |

You have to give it up to a higher power.

I've given up on my plants. We planted some seeds a few months back, put them in pots, thinned them out and they have hardly grown. So much for fresh garden tomatoes this year.

I don't remember, I was actually WORKING...I don't think it was as bad as this year.
Wonder if a rainy summer means a snowy winter, or if it doesn't mean anything... |

We had A LOT of rain last summer, but most of it seemed to be overnight. It seemed like we had a lot more sunshine during the day last summer. |

The weather forecasting chatter by folks in the business is now predicting a colder upcoming winter with higher than average snow probability for the northeast. Apparently they feel the El Nino effect will subside which statistically would have provided a milder winter for us up here. Quite a few places in the north have recorded the coldest summer in over a century. While I agree it seems like we can't get a break with the rain, the actual amounts are not that much above normals. It's just that we have not had several nice days in a row to take our minds off of the dampness. |

I'm annoyed because I feel the rain is taking away so much of the summer.
