Rain Gauge 2007-08

We begin our new year with the autumnal equinox, a substantial weather change beginning on the 7th that has delivered nearly a half-inch rain in the past three days with a storm formed off the coast. September is ‘generally’ too early to start the grass unless it keeps raining – we’ll see.
