About the only positive aspect of all of this excessive rain is that water levels will be at June levels through the summer. Sunny days will come...;-)
My rain shell is one bought ~5yrs ago at Ragged Mtn....think it's about time to spring for Marmot's Precip = more breatheability. Moist air under the woodland canopy brings out the mosquitoes.. First year of heavy use for the headnet.

As if my customers weren't having a hard enough time with this economy. This weather is killing them. If this keeps up for much longer, there will be numerous seasonal businesses along the coast that will close up shop next winter. You've got Memorial Day to Labor Day to make money to carry you for the year. Almost a third of that has been washed away......

It's about time to figure out what would appease Zeus(if you like greek mythology) and/or Tlaloc(if you prefer the Aztec gods) and stage a sacrifice (preferably accompanied with a few beers for spectators ;) ) so these guys will give it a rest!

It's only a chance each day...that's not bad..

It is bad if you have projects that need a clear forecast... like a new roof. Or replacing a sill.

Also, the square hay bale business is big around here, and you need at least 3 days of no rain to cut, dry and bale. The fields around here probably won't see their first cutting until July now, at the earliest... which means less time for 2nd cutting to grow, small yeilds, and less money in an already depressing economic climate.

try telling that to business owners at the beach or up in the mountains......

Tourism is risky..still I've never heard so much bitching and moaning about rain before this past wet spell..I've never been one to be in a bad mood over the weather..unless a projected snowstorm turns out to be a bust..

I feel like I'm in that sci fi movie where the kids live on that planet that gets rain 364 days of the year, and on the one day it doesn't rain the clouds break for only an hour. What the hell was the name of that movie?

C'mon, we've all heard you whine numerous times when it gets too hot. This weather sucks balls. I have work to do around the house and on my car. I also want to enjoy my unemployment but this weather is putting a real damper on it. :angry:
