I know it has been far too long between postings when I start being asked why I haven’t been posting. When we first launched this it was supposed to be a weekly posting…
However – due to business travel (Washington, DC for Washington Watch), inclimate weather and scheduling problems – our “View From The Cab” has been running a few weeks behind.
Hopefully – we’re back on track.
Granted it hasn’t exactly been great weather – over 7″ (closer to 9″ in some places) of rain so far in the month of May. I’m sure you’re thinking “NO WAY”… But that’s what we have figured…
We have a listener that keeps a really close eye on the weather – specifically the rain fall totals and I spoke to him this afternoon… He said he had 1.2″ of rain in about 20 minutes… That’s a whole lotta, whole lotta if you ask me.
This is from an email from our “weather watcher”:
This year we had 8 days in April with measurable rain with a total of 2.85″ In 2009, there were 12 days in April with 6.45″ total.
Here is the one that is hard to believe:
May 1- 25 this year there were 15 , yes 15 days that had rain with a total so far of 7.55″ Believe it or not, all of May 2009 had only 6 days of measurable rain with a total of 4.85″.
Last night I decided to take a drive and see how things looked around the area..
I ended up in Tazewell County. I’ll insert some of the photos I took while I was out…
This was my view from the cab (of my little G6) last night:
We’ll be back soon (hopefully)… From another field… With another View From The Cab….
