I wasn't planning about blogging about the weather again, even though we're now forecast for another three straight days of solid rain.  I was planning on ignoring the weather and talking about something, anything, else, but then I see that even the National Weather Service is bugging out and starting to reference Cthulhu in their Twitter feed.

Before invoking the Grand Old One, you can hear the near-existential resignation in their voice:  "It's going to rain" (period). "Again" (period).  

"We have accepted our fate and are preparing for the second coming of Cthulhu" (period).

After four straight days of rain last week, we had two sunny days last Friday and Saturday.  Then it was overcast and cloudy but didn't actually rain on Sunday and Monday.  Now, the forecast is for more rain Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, followed by another sunny Friday and Saturday, and then five more days of rain and/or overcast skies.  It never stops and is showing no sign of being over anytime soon.

We've had six inches of rain so far this month and 14.01 inches since January 1, twice the average of 7.05 inches normal for this time of the year.  Lake Lanier, Georgia's principal reservoir, is at its highest level since 1964.

As noted before, I have a contractor lined up to replace my leaky roof, but he can't come out here and start removing the existing shingles until the rain finally stops and at this point, neither he nor I nor anyone else has the slightest idea when that might be. 

I might as well join the NWS and just resign myself to the inevitable return of our lord Cthulhu.
