No run today, in Columbia most the day, then appts around home.

The year of rain is going out with a bang, 3.5 inches of rain today (and it's only 5 pm), almost 8 inches this week. The creek by our house is normally about 4 feet wide and under a foot deep, but flooded to several hundred feet wide and 6 feet deep earlier today, almost taking out the concrete bridge. It's crazy. We've had 65 inches of rain since the start of June! My phone keeps buzzing to tell me of multiple flood warnings and flash flood warnings right now.

my phone was buzzing all morning...so much excitement from southern storms! lots of rain here as well -- today was possibly the heaviest rain i've ever run in to date. it's quite nice when it's warm.

I don't think we've had 60 inches of rain since I moved here in 2002.

We do have a crappy inversion though.

Allie, I agree. This 70 deg rain is so much nicer than the normal 40 deg winter rain. I'm sure that is coming, though.

Rob, those inversions are terrible. We would have it for a month straight in Logan. Ugh.

Wow, be safe! Hope it lets up soon.

Happy new year!
