    Wettest Spring since 1982!!

    Starting in early March it began raining and didn`t end until two days ago. On June 3rd we had a high of 61 and a low 45...Al Gore can kiss my arse. Also, Portland shattered precipitation records for April, May and June! In April we got 25 days of measurable precipitation, another 20 days in May and then to top it all off, we got 3.3" of rain in the first six days of June alone. So in case you`re wondering why there haven`t been any write-ups from me this year....that`s why.

    Now...the strange Pacific NW weather has switched gears like a coke addict goes after a fresh pile of blow. Today we are expecting sunshine and temps in the 80s. Thankfully the nice weather is supposed to continue for the foreseeable future to which I say thank goodness. My mother isn`t from here and her inability to deal with the rain is rubbing off on me and is truly fouling my mood. Truth be told...it was starting to get to me but mostly due to the fact I couldn`t keep my car clean for more than 24 hours.

    Got a full correction on a dark blue Audi Q5 today and will have a write-up posted!

    Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.

    Re: Wettest Spring since 1982!!

    Here in Northern Indiana we have had rain about 4 to 5 days a week since early spring.

    I wanted to go to a car show last Saturday but it was raining.
    Was going to go today but it is raining and predicted hail and damaging wind for this afternoon.

    Planed on going next sat. but they are predicting rain.

    Looks like it is going to rain every weekend all summer.
    we only have 3 months of warm weather and all of that is going to be rain, after that it will be snow.

    I`m sick of this weather.

    Feels like it`s raining everyother day here too. Did last year too.
    Tough to keep car clean or even get the motivation to clean it when it`s supposed to rain the next day........

    Let me know how the Audi goes. I`m thinking the dk blue is as bad as my bmw black was.

    Its not much better in Southern Illinios. If its not raining or snowing, its so damn hot and humid you cant breath. Its been in the lower 90s all week but thanks to the humidity the heat index has been close to 100 and its only June. These next couple months are going to be hell.

    I guess PA is the place to be this year because it`s been pretty nice here with about half the rain as last year which is still enough.

    Despite some recent rain, we are still in a light drought here in Houston.
