I've had 1" today since I posted earlier. I hear thunder again and it's starting to rain again. Better check the radar and shut down for a while.

Last year, the May total was 5.16 inches, this year we're below normal.

We're above too. I'll check on how far... 3" over normal for may so far with rain expected this afternoon... *sigh* guess we'll not get out of this for a while. Unless the pattern changes...
