Luanne Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 We have had rain almost every day for over a month now. We usually get some afternoon showers in the month of June, but not every day. There isn't a day in the forecast where it isn't supposed to rain in the next week. We are planning an early birthday party for my daughter this weekend. It was going to be an outside ... have fun in the sun ... get wet party, but we have had to come up with some indoor stuff to do since most likely even if it isn't raining the entire time, it is just too cool to do water stuff. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 It hasn't been like last year....THANKFULLY. We regularly hear of "isolated thunderstorms" but they almost always are north and west of us. So I planned for us to mow the yard today before going out of town. It has been raining almost non-stop (and VERY HARD) since 8pm last night. So the kids get out of doing the yard before going to grandma's <sigh>.

Tabrett Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 It has been here is the lowcountry of SC, but I think it is more like what it should be. I think we have been in a drought for 7+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegGuheert Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I grew up here and I don't recall a wetter spring than this one. It's great for the garden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambam Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 It is very dry here in southeast Texas. We haven't had any rain for at least a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Somewhat rainy here in Southeast PA. But we needed it. It was drought-y for the past few years. This is common around here. We are very dry for a number of years, then we get a lovely rainy year, then back to being dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen sn Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Tennessee does nothing but rain. Of course everyone tells me that this is rare. But then I heard an old lady say that no matter what the weather is folks always say, "It normally isn't like this." We were in Missouri end of last month and we drove from Tennessee. In Illinois and Indiana we could see the puddles in the farm land and some areas of trees were swamped with standing water. Quite high....you could tell that it wasn't always this way. Everyone in Missouri said how much rain they have been getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loupelou Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Very rainy here in Missouri, but it's great when I don't have to water the garden!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgm Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 We're normal for a non-drought year. Cold though; usually Memorial Day starts pool season, but it looks like it'll be 4th of July before people open outdoor unheated pools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonria Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Rainy here in New England too. Rain is nice for the garden....but those veggies need sun too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Not really, but there's a huge arc that encompasses much of the mid-parts of the country (I believe it includes your area - not sure). It's slated to be much cooler for the entire summer. I'm on the eastern edge of it. The area around Lake Michigan is slated to have no real "summer" at all this year due to so much cooler weather....

Guest VAmama Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 First day here in 5 days without rain!! Really enjoying the sun!:001_smile: But I can't complain about the rain.. It has done wonders for my garden!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 or rather postponed. Part of it is that the city is very protective of the fields. Part of it is that we play on baseball field and it's baseball season. Of course it's all because of the rain. The guy in charge has never had this many games rained out!

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 You know what is funny? It has been unseasonably warm and dry in the Seattle area! I think we sent you all our rain this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamom Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Rainy in Iowa. Hopefully we won't see flooding again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 That I am very grateful that I haven't had to water my lawn yet. It is very green too. :001_smile: There have just been times when I needed to get something done outside and so far that hasn't been possible. It seems to always be raining or muddy.

mamaof2andtwins Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 WNY is drier than last year. Last year was so wet that my garden flooded twice, and all the crop growth was stunted. This past week has been a little rainier, but not by much. I mulched with straw to keep things wetter longer. Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 We're in West Tx and it is dry as usual. I think we have received a little over 2 inches for the year so far. We are under a burn ban. God bless, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
