When Rain Came to Town

Should meteorologists predict the toughest weather ever in August? The folks at The Weather Channel are making sure every drop of rain fall mainly on highways, freeways, byways and even crops of food - from corn and soybeans to tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits - comes from substances such as oxygen and hydrogen. Mmmm... great tasting food crops produced by rain are ready for harvesting... and, fortunately, there will be more rain ahead of time by month's end.

I am proud to say that rain is an abundant source of energy for lovely, growing florals, veggies and fruits - because it simply hold the amount of water need to provided them during the not-so-sunny days.

Which means Mom and I will really have to pick the tomatoes off the vine and the raspberries from the garden.

Now, meteorologists are predicting what to come in the weeks ahead if rain hits major cities across the U.S.

Take local TV meteorologist Kevin O'Connell of Buffalo, N.Y. O'Connell is Western New York's most prolific and trusted local newcast meteorologist, having tracked down rain hovering the Greater Metropolitan Buffalo/Toronto Area (think the East Coast meets the Canadian Border) in
a single week. (Remember O'Connell presiding over NBC's short-lived daytime game show Go back in the early 1980s?)

Belinda Jensen of KARE-TV in Minneapolis, Minn. reported says the Twin Cities will continue to
rain today and this evening, probably before the end of the week.
