Here comes the rain again

As everyone is aware, our area has been getting a lot of rain lately. In the months of April and May about 70 percent of our days had rain. What's the deal? Chief Meteorologist Dave Rexroth from WXYZ explained on 96.3 FM this morning that we are currently experiencing La NiƱa, which is causing cooler air to come off the Rocky Mountains and create wet weather.
So, that's why it's been soggy this Spring. Unfortunately, Rexroth said we can expect the wet weather to continue until the beginning of July.
The heavy rain has wreaked havoc on local roads and basements, flooding both. We'll have to see if the next month brings more of the same. If you have any flood pictures, please send them to editor@manchesterenterprise.com.
