No water is leaving the Great Lakes region and if any does go its coming from the Detroit River....good luck with that.

The Detroit River...is that the one that catches on fire every so often?

Nope... you're thinkin' of the Cuyahoga River in Ohio.

Why the Detroit River?

Well. This morning I woke up to 6 full inches. Of snow.

Who needs it?

Probably everybody west of you...

Wow. I guess so!

It has done nothing but rain/ snow here for the past 4 weeks.

 

[BeatCJ]

We have gone back closer to a more usual spring, but it's too far to go.
Western U.S. rainfall percentage of average

90 here, an inch of snow would be fine today lol.

 

[_RJ_]

Can't it be 65-70 and rain here? Calling for rain all week but the wind is cool. We need it though.

 

[slowp]

I think about a half inch of rain so far. The little dog is drying out in front of the wood stove.

Warm bright sun but very windy. Several grass fires driven by the wind in the last few days.

62º and grease up to and beyond my elbows. It don't get no better!

[SliverPicker]

You called it. Stinky sulfur ridden crap. I've never gotten used to it even after all this time. STINKS! lol

Holy Cats. We had a pretty good batch of lightning come through this evening , for around here anyway. If you see the flash and you hear it at the same time, and the sound is kind of a cross between a rifle shot and a zipper, that means it's too close, right? Worst part was I was stuck out in it, waiting for my LifeFlight helicopter to land. I was afraid they were going to cancel.

It is strangely bright this morning. I have tomato plants that may appreciate the glowing orb.

Don't move here.

Self declared day off. The last few days have required running the windshield wipers for an hour each morning and the driving home at night in the fog. The sun barely breaks through.
Still in a drought of course. Every day on talk radio there are more people advocating building a pipeline to Warshington to deliver us their "wasted" river water. Those same people advocate illuminating agriculture in Collyfrnia because it uses too much water. What we really need to do is meter ALL water wells.
