On the news last night, they were saying something about the potential for 7 inches of rain in parts of CT today. :eek:

And, of course, can you imagine if that was SNOW instead?!?!. ;)

That would 84" of the dry powdery stuff. Do you know what the street value of that stuff would be?

RAIN RAIN RAIN. F the snow making ponds. My well went dry and we are still a week + away from the drilling company coming in to drill a new one. Every little drop is needed. There are days we can flush toilets and wash hands, other days nothing. How did people survive without running water?

They didn't bathe as much. And they dug pits for their potties. There are 2 options for you to save water. ;)

WTF - just got this...

People are succumbing to the hype. If you watched too much of TWC and the other media outlets you would think that this is the end of the world. It's just a rainy day...yes lots of rain, but it is very dry out there and there is no real threat for flooding.

Had a few beers watching Survivor last night... I joined the dogs in the backyard for a potty break or two...

Early dismissal for rain? That's a new one! Will the children be coming home via ark?

i know, right? we had tornado warnings this week but apparently that isn't as bad as rain.

I've seriously heard about 6 people: "Well! At least it isn't snow!"

South East VT has over 2" of rain. It looks like South West has just a tick under 2". I guess more will happen later today/tonight.
