rain

Torrential rainfall has plagued the Northland, leading to road closures and cancellations on a level of an extreme winter storm. You can see the full listing of closures here. So, the question is: How much rain have we actually seen so far?

So, with all the crazy rain and people suffering from flooding Tuesday night, I wanted to post a bunch of songs about rain.  Then I remembered that one of the best songs by Gary Allan sums most of them up in under 4 minutes!

Once again, we got a heck of a lot of rain over the weekend.  Compared to the last rain storm a week ago, this rain came fast and hard, bringing ping pong sized hail in some areas of West Duluth.  I know at our house we had pea sized hail, and lots of it.  How much rain did we get this weekend?  How are we compared to the average spring?  Find out after the jump.

This is my backyard.  Apparently it doesn't have a great flow to it.  We got a lot of rain in a short amount of time.  How much did we get in Duluth and Superior?

My husband was running on Park Point Saturday morning with an eye to the sky when he felt the first rain drop....after racing to his car in a torrential downpour, he drove through downtown Duluth and couldn't believe the amount of rain that had fallen in such a short time...
