I wonder if the "cold" wet day has anything to do with this?

Worst in 50 Years

yes , we can appreciate we don't get the heavy sloppy snow of more northern regions - as shown in the URL. You're subject title say's '...Bad Weather'

These days of rain are fine with me. Plants love it, though it will give stronger pollen dustings in a month or so - which is a drag for dems dat suffer hay fever (like me). Actually there are two hay fever seasons here, October and March. .... in contrast with one season (mid-April to mid-May) in farang lands.

Another silver lining re; this unseasonably wet spell - is it will lessen the amount of burning in the next 3 months and therefore there'll be less haze - such bad air which exacerbates allergies, among other things.

Bugger!!!!!!

I've only just mothballed the lawn mower too!!!

The rain is certainly fine by me, and the local farmers have just planted their soy beans and, surprisingly, a lot are doing a second rice crop.

The only one who seems unhappy is the dog who can't get out as much as he'd like to.

Our dogs are out in the fields as I write. The wet and cold weather doesn't slow them down in the least. Around here everyone in planting pumpkins this year. You know the (golden <deleted>) ones they grow around here. Guess somebody made a little money growing them last year so now everybody is jumping on the bandwagon. The rain has made their work much easier for a few days anyway. Will be interesting to see how the price is affected by the ramp up in production.
