15 in a Row and Counting!

I just need to document this weather fact for posterity.

It rained yesterday--Friday, May 10th.

While rain is not an unusual event in and of itself, it is part of a chain of events that is unusual and requires documentation. 

It has now rained in the Baltimore region fifteen Fridays in a row! It certainly appears that were are on the way to see another wet Springtime and Summer--much like last year.

Here are the headlines from local TV channel 2 WMAR:

HERE WE GO AGAIN-Going For 15 Fridays With Rain

Rain chances increase by Friday and the weekend...

The article goes on to write that its is will be 15 Fridays with more than just a trace of rain! Has the rainy great Northwest moved to the mid-Atlantic? I hope not.

Tie result of the rainy weekends has been my golf game remains in my bag in the garage. I have not played golf in over a month.

The good news is that the long range forecast suggests that next Friday, May 17th will be mostly sunny with no rain in the forecast, yet! I'll believe it when I see it!

Where did I leave my umbrella?
