Record rains in March

According to figures from Cook College, the Agricultural School of New Jersey, the weather station nearest the homestead recorded 8.39 inches of rain this month as of yesterday. That's 4.39 inches above normal for the month. I don't know how many inches we got in the last 24 hours, but it has not been dry by any stretch of the imagination.


With 3.09 inches recorded as the average weekly rain totals, it is no surprise the brooks are rushing and the streams are saturated. If we get typical April showers to bring May flowers, it might just be the Mayflower we can sail come another 4 1/2 weeks.
