Rain, Rain Is Here To Stay

Look up "driving rain" in the dictionary, and you might find a photo of this coffee hut on Highway 57 at Priest Lake area that was caught in the deluge Monday afternoon. Pecky Cox/As The Lake Churns tells "I was going there for hot coffee to take to beach to watch the rain. Did not make it. They were closed due to storm. So, I took the photo. Large hail wind but all ok at the lake. Rain is predicted every day through Sunday. Mrs. O has been muttering darkly about the weather here over the last few years -- more than I've ever heard her do so. Seems her unhappiness with the seemingly increasingly long winters coincides with Junior's move to Florida.

Question: Is the lousy spring weather bugging you more this year than previously?
