Weather note: along came the rain

Thankfully this year is not like last year for Western Mass, last year we were "Critical water deficit", no out door watering, washing cars, etc. My town actually banned topping off swimming pools.
This year we are in normal range, no drought, still a slight deficit up in the Berkshires, but we are wet in the Pioneer Valley. Actually needing to backwash out some pool water for the second time, i't spilling out the top of the skimmer basket.
