Just keep thinking, At least we shouldn't have a drought this summer...

(There's a big window behind me, and the sheets of rain falling from the sky sound like a train roaring past. Wow.)

Both Chelmsford and Westford* have water bans that, for all intents and purposes, run for the duration of the summer. This is the first year in a long time that I can't recall seeing signs for the ban.
And even though we got drizzle and are 1/4" below average for the month, what we did get kept people from watering their lawns, which is where most of the water goes. Even on days when it didn't rain, the cloudy weather kept the moisture from evaporating: everyone's lawns look great**, so why water?

*Westford is an odd one: more than half the town gets their water from private wells.

**I know a lot of people are frustrated, because the very thing that makes the grass grow keeps them from mowing the overgrown lawn.
