Comments
A comment that I am certain alot of people share -- why is the statement made that this is not "all bad"? What is wrong with some people!!!??? Yes - we are deficient for December but well above normal for the entire year!!! (Well - all except BWI, which most folks who read anything here can't believe - I am convinced they shut down their rain guage sometime in August). Where is it written that unless EVERY month is at or above normal it is an absolute travesty and we must "catch up"? Some months are average, some below, some above - that is the nature of weather. Those of us that have to drive to work or to a shopping center to do last minute Xmas errands in this slop would probably take exception to your comments. Sorry for the rant - but it just burns me up to see folks who appear to be nothing more than "cheereleaders for a monsoon" several times a year. I realize this probably won't get published but somehow it just makes me feel better to vent a bit. Thanks.
