Rain, finally

We finally got some rain today. It's been dry for over a month, and this morning, after two days of steady showers, I checked the rain gauge. It's an electronic weather station I got for Jane for Christmas a couple of years ago. We had 4.5 inches, over the past 24 hours when I went to work, and over 5 by the time I got home this evening. I can hardly believe it. 

I went to the creek to check it out this evening, and yes, it's high. I wanted to work out a graph of the precipitation vs. time - just to be geeky about it, but I accidentally deleted the history.dat file that the weather station uses to record the data. I guess that's a suitably geeky way to screw it up :) It's nice to have a little rain for a change.
