If you are someone who spends a lot of time outside in the winter around here this has not been typical. It is the wettest start of a year on record. I have been working outside trying to fix up an old house to sell. This has been a serious hindrance.
Typical January “rain” around here is drizzle 12 hours a day 5 days out of 7. Somewhat depressing at times with the short days this time of the year but nothing that keeps those of us who are native to the region indoors. The last two weeks it has been heavy rain almost every day along with several very windy days.
I am so glad that this morning it is calm and not raining. I have some repairs to take care of before it gets wet again. I will be outside with some tar, roofing, sheet metal, snips, a hammer, drill, nails and screws. We are suppose to be coming into a more normal pattern, except that we have snow predicted next week.
