I'm glad there's been plenty of rain this winter.

Remember hose-pipe bans?
Remember the brown landscape almost countrywide last summer?

If the winter 06/07 had been very very dry... followed by a dry spring
07, would have been disaster for the summer 07.

Trust me, people would really miss having a water supply, when the
temps are in the upper 20's, and the humidity is very high.

Horrible prolonged uncomfortable heat, with high humidity, without air
conditioning, i'm already dreading it. I think i should go live in
Scotland during the summer months, and if i like it up there, stay
there during the winter as well... have a better chance to see snow
that way

but then i'd miss the summer storms
