BDR east along 95 will see some flash flooding , a surprise inch here this morning, hopefully it holds together to get the drought stricken areas from Tolland to Taunton and Weymouth Mass. 

There was never a drought of rain this summer. Some confused posters thought that was the issue. There were some dry periods but no drought. The drought message and issue this summer was no tstorms. Just boring meh light- moderate rain events. That was the drought

Ya more of the same for you today I guess

Aaaaaand pouring again. What an absurdly wet summer in these parts. I've never seen the grass so green in August. Might as well characterize us as a temperate rain forest.

.01 in drizzle overnight. Unbelievable how it keeps raining in the same places. Noticed lately some of the maples have burnt, shriveled leaves with quite a bit of drop. Seems to be mostly the Norways.

The well is starting to get iffy here again. Of course drought monitor only has us in D0 now.

Wonder if this pushes BDR past their old record?
