You guys getting any rain. Rained 1 day in August at my house and that was just 3/8 inches. Don't think it rained last couple of weeks in July.

Been alternating hot as heck and raining in Charlotte all summer.
 Not sure about this week, as I'm in Pittsburgh... Actually on a plane headed home
Got some lucky film timing, btw.

We have had decent rain all summer. I have mowed my lawn more this year than any of the 8 years I have lived here. And I have not used my sprinklers once this year.

I've been watering for a few weeks now.

No rain in North Ogden all summer till the other day when we got 4 inches in one day. No flooding on the burn scar. Minor flooding around town was all.

We've had enough rain in southern Kansas that we are no longer considered to be in a drought situation.

East Tennessee has had adequate rain this year. Everything has stayed nice and green.

The Ohio River here is what they consider low. Could be an issue for barges carrying harvest later.

The Great Salt Lake level has been dropping for a number of years as the population here continues to increase. They divert water from the streams that traditionally feed it to reservoirs to support the population.

Here in VT its a minor drought and it's worse in New Hampshire. Under a half inch for all of August until this last week when we got about an inch over the week. Good to see more green in the yard. Lake Champlain was at it's lowest level ever recorded.

My wife and I were there in June. I was doing Matsuura training for our customer in  Vermont. The boat ramps seemed a little more exposed than I would expect. We went to The Shelborn museum too.

The Shelburne Museum is a great museum. We had a visit from family this summer and took them there.
