  As usual, New Mexico can't beg a drop of rain from the sky while Houston's drowning. Only halfway through June, Houston's already received urlLink three times the month's average , and that's sans tropical activity... so far.
We got four inches day before yesterday, a few yesterday, and are slated to get about five more today. I think John saw at least two of those five this morning when he stepped off the bus. It's a good thing getting drenched with rain feels so good, positively charged ionized water and all.
I used to be a hardcore urlLink Intellicast fan, but of late urlLink the Houston Chronicle has surpassed their meteorological glory. Because access to information and quality of presenting information are the new units of currency in our blogosphere, I'm going to give them the free ad.
At the urlLink Chron weather page you can get past days' rain fall amounts, the urlLink current status of specific tropical disturbances (valuable for when the annoying weather people over dramatize a coming system, then forget to tell you it dissolved and already came to land over Louisiana), and the urlLink current stages of area bayous (useful if you live a few blocks from one, as I do). I still go to urlLink intellicast for active thunderstorms b/c their system is better at indicating turning clouds and lightening strikes.
