Karen sn Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 April showers bring May flowers, so what do May showers bring? I miss Florida! Rains every afternoon for an hour or two and back to your regularly scheduled sunshine. Here in Tennessee it is raining when you wake up, raining when you go to bed...... Not at all impressed.

MamaT Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 It's raining here in Western North Carolina as well (I am very close to Tennessee). Being from Florida myself, it never, ever, ever gets hot and sunny enough to feel like summer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam "SFSOM" in TN Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 April showers bring May flowers, so what do May showers bring?I miss Florida!

Yeah, it's not always like this. But I have to tell you, I rejoice with every rain. Our water tables have been so desperately low in the past years, and this is catching us up just a little bit. I worry terribly about drought. Farmers in our area lost a lot of livestock in the past years, and horses suffered awfully. Lots of people lost their beloved horses because of lack of ability to feed them. I'm sorry it's not to your liking, though. :- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hehe...hang around another month or so....you might start wishing for a nice rainy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in AL Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 And like a pp said, once it does, you may be wishing for the clouds! I don't know where in Tn you are, but here in my neck of the woods in N. Al., it gets far more humid than where I grew up in Bradenton/Sarasota in Fl. The humidity just gets 'trapped' by the mountains and settles in. I can't stand it, and we actually find it more pleasant in Fl in the summers. Go figure!! We, too, are sick of the clouds and rain, but are happy to see it, as we've been in a serious drought for several years. Although, when my backyard is swampy with standing water several inches deep (and we live on the down slope of a mountain 90ft above the entrance to our neighborhood!), I'd say we've had plenty of rain. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mama Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 When I moved to Nashville from Dallas I was DEPRESSED! I swear it rained everyday for a month! I was used to quick showers, but not days and days of r-a-i-n! It does seem like it has done nothing but rain, but we're actually pretty on target for rainfall this year. Last year we had a terrible drought and while I appreciated the days and days of sun - I'm not so sure the farmers did. Don't worry - the sun will shine and SHINE and SHINE! Doesn't seem that way now, but you'll probably be looking forward to the rain to cool us off a bit in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH Lori Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I think it's raining all over...we'll be wishing for it come July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Springs are pretty miserable here. :glare: It's hard to ever get the girls outside to play. Eventually, like the other ladies said, it'll get hot and you'll want a nice rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 This is our seventh straight day of rain/clouds here in NE OK. I am going insane. Literally. And the worst part is that I know in another month at the latest, the clouds will clear and we won't see them again till September. Why, oh why, can't there be a middle ground?
