Ha ha! I started to write a follow up to "How cold is it?" yesterday but was interrupted, and being an old guy; forgot about it soon afterward :P ;D

YES!! It's been raining like a stinkin' bear!!  I've never seen this much rain since I moved here over forty years ago. Thank goodness I bought another one of those Little Giant pumps a month ago at a yard sale. It works in a quarter inch of water and puts out about 12 GPM. The other day, my front yard turned into a lake and my basement wall started leaking. I put the pump in a low spot and so far I've been able to control it pretty well. Is it too late to plant rice?

Yeah, those rains in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York flooded some towns south of Ithaca, New York. this is the second time in five years that one town I lived in has had a flood. In 2011 my high school town by the Susquehanna River was 65% flooded.

A, Won't it be nice if your little pump makes the difference between a flooded cellar and a dry cellar?

Actually, one more would have been even better but they aren't cheap. Here it is:

I got mine for 25 bucks 8) 8)

Hey Wolfman.... About 45 South of you in SA & we didn't get as much as I thought we would.
Yesterday afternoon & evening it came down pretty good with some flooding but it's just a little
South Texas Shower. I think Houston got hammered again. Good place not to be in the rain.
