Is it raining at your house..........

....it sure is raining at mine.  So goes the old Vern Gosdin song.  I believe, or I've been led to believe, that we are now down to just having showers, and that the sun will shine on Friday.
High tide at Camp Ellis, Saco Maine.  June 3, 2012 - click
  An example of what nearly five inches of rain and an astronomical high tide can look like when the storm in coming from the northeast.  In the winter it would be a "'nor easter".
  Some areas of Maine have already received over eight inches of rain from the current system that continues to this minute, BUT we had a couple of hours yesterday without rainfall.
  Meanwhile:
Farmers in the Missouri River Valley in the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Missouri have a huge problem with sand deposits caused by the flooding of the Missouri this past spring.
There is an example, and I'm hoping you can read it.
Can you imagine the equipment and labor costs to clear the sand from this prime farmland?  Not to mention that farmers have lost 300 Million dollars income due to not planting the corn and soy beans that would have gone to market.
  Weather can be our friend, I like to drink water for example, we all need some rain and snow for a healthy life and to grow crops.  These are just examples of too much all at once.

Is it raining at your house?
