Rain. The usual; good in some places, not good in others...

Locally we are 4 to 5 inches below normal on rain. Western Massachusetts has a deficit too. Lawns are brown. Caterpillars have stripped the trees even worse than last year so there isn't much shade. If you walk in the woods it sounds like it's raining, but it is caterpillar poop, not rain.

We have gotten rain, but not in a useful manner. These passing heavy downpours aren't helping much. Friday night we saw the lightning coming furiously, but the weather services said it would go mainly to our north, hugging the VT border. Got a little closer in actuality, and for safety, we were told to take cover at our Relay for Life Event. Told to get out of the tents, and go to cars, or in one of the fairground buildings.
Rained hard, windy, gone in a couple hours, Sat afternoon, all was dry for packup.
