Weather Observer building a boat

Barbara Wilson joked this morning that she’s building a boat. Quite seriously, if it keeps raining, the U-S Official Weather Observer at Walhalla may need some kind of watercraft just to get from her home to her weather gauge outside. That gauge contained 2.28” of rain since 7 o’clock yesterday morning. That makes six inches for the first five days of July. From January through June, 43 inches of rain fell.
