I was gone for 2 weeks and I'm glad to hear this since we need the rain. Too bad it was on the weekend and affected the 4th of July fireworks though.

For 2008, 0.25" above normal, so far.

Had a nice storm come through N. Raleigh. Finally upped our weekend totals to around an inch I believe.

Quite a bit of rain in Apex the past few days - I hope my sod doesn't drown! At least I won't have to water for at least a week!

Hip, Hip, Hoo-rain...Hip, Hip, Hoo-rain!

Having just come here from Southern California, I love the rain and thunderstorms. Like the song goes "It never rains in California". DH and I just enjoyed dinner on the porch sheltered from the rain. It was so romantic! It really poured last night in N. Raleigh.

It's all me, I tell you. I've lived in New York, St. Louis, Massachusetts, and now Raleigh over the last 13 years, and the one time I had a drought, upon my arrival in New York, it quickly vanished thanks to the remnants of Hurricane Opal. So we should be getting out of a drought here in a few weeks.

Someday I'll tell you about my ability to bring good fortune to local sports teams. (Hint: I moved to just outside Boston in May, 2001 and moved in June, 2008.)

You call what the Patriots did in the Superbowl good luck? I am a Pat's fan. So you were the one that did that to them.

Hey, I think winning three Super Bowls in my first five years in town qualifies as "pretty good."

Yes, but that last one would have been so special. 19-0.
