Rain and mother nature

ellekay

I am just about fed up with all the rain we have had this summer. I really would like to see a chart noting all of the days that had rain versus all of the days that havent.

On the other hand however, it has been great for our crops (much better than last year).

We love rain in GA

For a city that had dry reservoirs and had many businesses shut down because of water restrictions and cost, Atlanta loves rain. We wish it would rain every day. Our lakes have turned into dusty clay fields. Xeriscaping doesn't even work- it's that dry. Our Georgian neighbors who depended on lake vacations and tourism have no business. Salons and restaurants that couldn't afford the water prices shut down. We were even in talks to buy water from Tennessee. We love rain!

I can agree that mother nature could time it better. Say from 1am to 5am every night she could unleash about 5 inches. Then the street would be dry in time for my hubby to safely ride his gas-sipping motorcycle. We could spend the fuel savings on a canoe.
