The ROM Is Blogging About the Weather Again


Today was Day Two of the 4-day rain event forecast for Georgia.  About an inch and a half fell yesterday, most of it seemingly coming down between about 6:30 and 7:30 last night.  The rain was somewhat less intense today but it was hardly a dry one.   

This low-pressure system is forecast to hang around for two more days, and then we're supposed to finally get some sun on Friday and Saturday.  But after that, the forecast is for five more days of rain.  

We've had twelve and a half inches of rain since the beginning of the year, which is twice the normal amount. The soil is supersaturated and rivers are near flood stage .  I've been cooped up in the house worrying about my leaky roof and haven't been able to take my daily walks along the Beltline trail. The house is starting to smell of mildew.

To be honest, this weather kind of sucks.
