Title: Heavy Rains Yesterday Wash Out Some Driveways
Post by: Henry on August 03, 2009, 09:01:18 AM

Heavy downpours yesterday resulted in about 2 1/2 inches of rain.  I noticed on my way to St. Albans yesterday afternoon late that a number of the private driveways on hills had some good trenches in them.  Haven't heard of any local roads being washed out though.  Saw Special Ed at J & L's this morning and he said he is tempted to take his trailer and lug the stone back up the hill in his driveway.  Would be a great day to mow the lawn if I didn't have standing water on some of it.  That will be a task for later in the week.

our driveway is now known as Fairfax Rio grande! some people who don't have four wheel drive prefer to walk up.

We were close behind you Mike at 1.21 inches.

For the month of July I recorded six days of 80 degrees or above.  Three of the six were below 81 and the highest was 85.1.
