So, the rain then is actually just a clever plot to con Obama into giving more money to the DR?

I think you just might be on to something. It is simply brilliant in its simplicity.

If only those in the North East US could pull something like that off with all their snow and cold weather. They would be well advised to consult with you, Edwarda.

Wednesday was beautiful here most of the day. I predict Sunday to be nice too. The mud on my road sucks though.

26 degrees is sorta ok ........ oops you mean fahrenheit don't u? lol

Boy we do have short memories. Yes we had two days of RAIN and more RAIN but we have already forgotten about the 7+ days before of beautiful island weather. Reminds me of Colorado where if it rained or snowed for more then a day every one was griping about the bad weather and wondering if it would ever end.

Oh by the way todays is beautiful sunny and warm. The rain is but a memory

For those of you who monitor the weather, this January there has been 9.1 inches upto 24th so far this month here on the north coast. For Janaury 2007 it was 13.5 inches and January 2008 13.0 inches of rain.
The rainfall figures are very local and may vary quite considerably. These were taken on a local rain guage.

February has produced less rain in 2007 - 8.45 inches and 2008 - 3.3 inches , so perhaps we will have better weather next month.

Or as the bumper sticker used to say **** happens. If we could control the weather think how happy Al Gore would be.

It's a tropical island. Of course it's going to rain, a lot. Especially this time of year.

It keeps the lush vegetation lush. It's predictable (weather.com and about a dozen other sites tell you how much to expect in a given month). And it beats the cold, wet conditions of Europe and anywhere in NA north of the Mason-Dixon line.

The mayor of Cabrera told me that the North coast is unique in the Caribbean for its rainfall. He claims all other beach zones are arid .
Seemed like a broad statement, but the north coast is lush!

And it beats everything else south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Mayor said what?

"Seemed like a broad statement, but the north coast is lush!"

Sounds like a blonde broad statement; and indeed the N.Coast is full of lushes.

The weather will take care of itself, it's the humans who exaggerate.

On Thursday some of the taxi drivers in STI were very happy with the rerouting of planes from POP to STI. Thankfully it was nice that weekend, in Santiago ! :) I even got to celebrate with Licey fans !
