I just threw out a head of broccoli that I picked from the garden yesterday. I was going to cook it up today but surprisingly overnight it turned into a cotton candy like mold ridden type thing. It has been really humid this year with a rainfall that not only makes the weeds grow fast but dampens the growth of the garden veggies.
This year there is a pumpkin shortage because of all the rain. The sense of gloom, endless drizzle and inescapable dampness hanging over us is more than a gnawing hunch. Meteorologists made it official yesterday: Figures show that we are experiencing the second wettest year since records were first kept in 1869.
Only the first five months of 1983 were damper.30.08 inches of precipitation fell in New York's Central Park between Jan. 1 and May 31 this year, about 12 inches more than normal. The series of storms that have drenched New York this spring is the result of an unusual air pattern.
The storms that come up the East Coast are fed their energy by the southern branch of the jet stream,It has been unusually strong this year between January and May.
For the third straight day yesterday, intermittent downpours and drizzles soaked the area.And a break in the dank weather is not expected until Friday because of the remnants of a hurricanes low-pressure system, a condition conducive to showers and thunderstorms is stalled over the Northeast.
I feel like just sleeping the whole rest of the year away. The ground has been wet almost every single day even if it didn't rain. What can we blame it on? Global wetting? Me thinks this winter will be a doozy, with wet and wild - white out snow storms.
