Weather: not so hot

Still too cold, dark and wet for this time of year. Showers in the forecast, with a chance of thunderstorms. Slugs, ants, aphids, fruit flies, rot, algae, weeds, mold and mildew.

Rain forces NH group to declare ’clothesline emergency’

CONCORD, N.H. — It’s been so rainy in the Northeast that a New Hampshire-based group advocating clotheslines in place of electric dryers to save energy has declared a "clothesline emergency."

To deal with the wet weather, Project Laundry List is asking people to use indoor drying racks — unless they’re at risk for a mold problem. If that doesn’t work, the nonprofit group recommends heading to coin-operated laundries, which generally use gas dryers.

The group says this is its first clothesline emergency in its 15-year history.

Also, due to excessive rain fueling the growth of bacteria, you could get Lou Gehrig's disease from swimming in NH lakes... but don't worry too much about it says NH DES, because they test the waters frequently and post warnings if necessary.

In Manchester, NH, 2.5 inches of rain fell in an hour last night and storm drains couldn't keep up.

For early July, Accuweather says: Not Hot.

Bleh. So what is the long range forecast, as in, will the sun come out tomorrow? Next month?
I keep blowing sunshine your way, but the prevailing winds are N by NW and my good intentions don't seem to be working.

Forecast: drizzle, fog, thunderstorms, heavy rain until July Fourth when it will be Mostly Sunny and 81 degrees!
