There are a number of words that have been used over the last week or so to try and describe the weather we’ve been experiencing, and I feel pretty much every one has been valid.

What’s Up With All The Rain?

By Daniel Bezte June 16, 2011

How does the saying/ song go? “Rain, rain, go away, come again another day.” I think for a lot of people across at least the southern third of the Prairies, “another day” could be a month from now.
