Any rain that does come only last for ten minutes. I miss the rain and would love to have the kind of rain you other guys are having...
In other words, parts of Idaho actually look like Mordor. Michigan is so far faring better than that, although the upper three Great Lakes are losing too much water to Erie due to human dredging efforts around Detroit - which, by the by, belongs in Mordor.
