Take that, 1965. This week's rainfall broke a few records set 49 years ago in the Coeur d'Alene area, said climatologist Cliff Harris. There was a 36-hour stretch this week when the raindrops never stopped falling, setting a rain duration record. Another record was set Tuesday with a 1.11-inch rainfall. The previous record for June 17 was set in 1965, with 1.04 inches. "There's no drought in Camelot," said Harris, of Coeur d'Alene. The region's total rainfall so far this month has been 3.34 inches, which compares to a normal total of 1.93 inches for the entire month of June/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: I have a bumper crop of weeds this year (due largely to my recent vacay). Has is your garden growing with all this rain?
