Yesterday we received 2.8 inches of rainfall, adding to the March total that today “rests” at 10.14 inches. For the calendar year March 29, 2009 to today, March 30, 2010, we have received 75.1 inches of rain, or 6 and ¼ feet! Our historical average for a year’s rain is 43 inches. So we’ve had quite a lot of rain…
Remember the James Taylor song that goes, “I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain…”? I really hate to complain about the rain, even if it seems to be too much, causing us a lot of extra work, and puts us behind schedule regarding our spring preparations. But I’ve also seen fire – I have been through droughts and water restrictions – I’ve watched grass wilt and die away, and fairways and rough become dust blown. That can be pretty bad too.
The weather is unbalanced right now, so we just need to do the best we can and be patient until it rights itself. The latest short term forecast model is for warm and sunny skies through next week. The song goes on, “I’ve seen sunny skies that I thought would never end…”
The weather is going to be just fine!
