We've been getting some serious rain. No, really. On average, Phoenix receives about 7 inches of rain a year. Our totals for Monday-Saturday of this week are supposed to hit 3 inches. Which means we'll receive almost 1/2 of our total yearly rainfall by the third week in January. We get the majority of our rain in the summertime, during the monsoon season. It usually rains at night, after the heat of day has burned off.
The rain is a nice change of pace, and it's so novel for here. School pick-up was a hoot. I saw kids running, shrieking, and darting around with brand new umbrellas. Till today, my own kids had never held their own umbrella. I had to show them how to brace it against the wind. People have no idea how to drive on the wet roads and its been taking twice as long to get anywhere. It's all the weather people can talk about. And, me as well.
Here are Scot's shots of the rain, thus far.
