Sounds like a good time to head into the house and kick back. After running errands all morning I'm ready for the old man chair! 
Rain predicted all week long.....and just got 1/4" in 8 minutes!

Left arizona at 9 a.m. almost 90° out, headed to california with a.c. on, yesterday.
Rained on during the trip in california, sprinkles and 55° late afternoon. Had to hurry to empty the stuff out of the pickup bed that i didnt want wet. Heater on in the car to go get a burger.
Saw my own breath outside this morning.
What the.....?

We've finally got some nice weather, by this time every year everyone is really ready for some sunshine and warmth.
It's been fairly sunny now for the past 4 days.

we got a sprinkling (not much) of rain
the past 2 days Sat & Sun, an hr here & there
just enough to get the decks wet
May Showers
the grass is still somewhat green
supposed to be high 70's today & tomorrow,
then low like high 60's to 70 Wed. thru Friday
actual nice temps for this time of year,
back to normal by the weekend
I'd guess about 85* is the norm/average mid-day,
for mid-May, for up here
low humidity is nice
Rain this time of year just makes the grass grow more
makes for more fire fuel
(Leaders here don't know how to manage, water or forests, sad really)
I'm not looking forward to fire season,
what used to be just Summer & Fall
lots of rain & snow this Winter (up here),
lots of vegetation has grown/regrown
in all the places that were burned out last year
all the wild grasses are 2' tall
Mother Nature comes back strong

I like out west, the times I was out there, no grass to cut, no Kudsu, no leaves to rake, yards are gravel, water rights would suck though. My sister-in-law lives in Durango and her brother lives up above Albuquerque. Weirdest places though.
we need some rain here in SC

Been raining the last three days with more to come. We may see some sun Saturday. It is hard to get things done with constant mud.

I thought that was a Traffic Report to begin with....sounds like our motorway that was snarled up most of the day.

Just a little under 2" since Sunday but the forecast is for much more the rest of the week. Luckily, the majority of the heavy rains has missed my area but it's been all around. The percentage is lower today but goes back up tomorrow.
