When Rural Ways went to bed last night, it was raining. It rained all night. When we got up this morning, the trees were dripping, there was standing water in the yard, and the sky was full of heavy clouds. Today's forecast is for more rain. None of this would be noteworthy in Costa Rica, but this is southern Utah. Moreover, this has been going on for much longer than 24 hours. In the past month there have been parts of Iron County, where we live, that have received more than five inches of rain. In fact, over the last two weeks, Parowan has reached a level of precipitation that is more than 300% of "normal" for this time of year (pictured). It is nice to be out of the drought, but I can't keep up with the weeds.
