Wednesday, 9:30 am: Wow, what a drive to New Hampshire, Vermont and New York. I can’t describe all the rain we drove through and the flooded rivers we passed by. The outbound drive was normal and unremarkable: On the return trip, on Monday, May 15, was a bit dicey. When we returned from upstate New York we drove via I-89 in Vermont to Manchester then on to I-95 north to Maine, which worked well, because we avoided secondary roads that were flooded in various locations, and would require major detours.

Once we crossed into Maine the rain continued to come down in torrents. It eventually let-up somewhat by the time we got to Bangor. We were delayed so much due to my slow driving and poor road conditions that we spent the night in Bangor, resuming our drive the next day and returning yesterday afternoon. Now that’s weather to talk about!

Yesterday at our house we received .79 inches of rain. Today, as of this writing, we have received .41 inches. On to our current weather:
