Finally, some raindrops

  I heard someone call today (Friday) a “wet day”. We did have off and on showers this morning into early afternoon, but the total rain tally was only .21” at MSP airport. Wow, our standards of wet have really changed during this dry stretch! That’s to be expected, since we just saw the second-driest September in Twin Cities history. You can impress your friends with this fact: until today’s showers, our most recent day with two-tenths of an inch (or more) of rain at MSP airport was way back on August 15th.  
  Looking ahead, I see several rain opportunities during the coming week. It’s unlikely that this will go down as one of the top 10 driest Octobers in history. That’s a good thing…
