It's been raining buckets here. The sun's out now, but I don't know for how long. Everything's soaked, so we guess the lawnmower guy won't be able to cut the grass today. smiley - rofl

I don't think you should have a water shortage. Not from a week of no rain. smiley - rofl Around here, we're getting soggy. Elektra said disgustedly, 'It's like being back in the Rhineland.'

long periods of rain = prices of food goes up because of rain damage
long dry periods = prices of food goes up because of withering crops
snow/ice = prices of food goes up because of frost damage
