Rainy Days are Here, Again...

Man this song brings back so many memories from high school. No, not because I dressed up like a bumble bee and tap danced on-stage during the school play. Umm, it was actually a ladybug costume. But who's counting.

Seriously, this song from my high school years is a fitting now. Today I heard a youngster (under 30) say, "I wish it would just stop raining so much." In return I said, "do you like water to drink?" He said "yes, but we have a well at our house."

Hello, a refresher course about the water cycle: Precipitation, Evaporation, Condensation. Precipitation.....

Basically, to get water into your well, you have to have water in the ground. With "No Rain," we have no water.

So far we have a surpluss of rain for the month of April, but we haven't put a dent in the deficit from the past months. This week on Skytracker 7 Weather, we'll look at the rain deficit and what makes this year different from 2007.

Soak up the rain. --Meteorologist Brent Watts
