Worst spring in 40 some yrs -- Sux Bigtime !!
It is starting to feel like the so-called-summer of 2009 when it rained pretty much everyday. This is crazy.

Except for skiing. ;-)
Seriously guys? You jumping off the cliff already? One week of rain and a few rainy weekends in April and its the worst in 40 years? Meh. Sure the heck beats hot, sticky, and humid, could be worse: an early summer.

Just put a damper on my plan to ride my bike to work 1-2 days a week (did it twice last week)....but the lawn/flowers could use the moisture for sure. Will just mean when it does stop raining I'll have a jungle to mow!

Not sure bout where u live Riv BUT up here some towns have and ARE experiencing a 100 yr FLOOD with homes being lost and our land is PONDING well beyond any levels in past 42 yrs that we've owned it . Its getting serious for many .
Fortunately my cellar is very sound but i've seen some bad situations this spring with multiple FEET of water in basements and this new 10 day stretch is only making matters worse . We came back thru the Dacks Yesterday and the rivers were over their banks and the Racqutte river in particular has been raising hell with homeowners in a few towns -- so YEAH its bad and not a lite hearted matter for those without flood insurance . FEMA was in the area last week - to give u an idea of the seriousness of the situation

If one can find em' thru the jungle(LOL).....Thursday looks like the first day to mow...in eastern mid-central Maine.
*Same goes for people along the upper Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers, as well as lower stretches of major feeder streams/brooks up here Warp, but flatter terrain = not as serious as the mtns & valleys in northern NYS. Best of Luck in combatting...

This week is national Bike to Work week. Don't you know it rains every year for national Bike to work week? At least it seems that it has for that last few years anyway.

Sorry to hear, Warp! I guess I should have been asking how things are up in your area instead of generalizing my local experience.
Round these parts, the rain has been off an on, and generally light. I even got out and did a ride on Sunday and I could have done one this morning if I didn't have to be at work early. Bummer that those negatively effected by the weather has extended up into the northeast.

Hey NP Riv , glad u guys didn't get this stuff .
My next door neighbor has been trying to get a new garage built for 3 weeks but the ground is saturated and or ponded so can't get any serious equipment on it .
Yeah this rain is getting depressing now.
Maybe I should have been a fish. Although I agree it's good for the lawns at least

Just as long as it is gone by Memorial Day weekend.

Yup, make 1 pass, and by the time you turn around to make the next pass over, the one you just cut will need it again! :lol:

I just pay 2 small people whom you know $2 each to do some spreading of the clumped clippings! I used to be able to just pay them $1 each, but they drove a hard bargain this spring! :lol:
