Complaining up a storm

Remember when we used to have “rain?”

I mean just rain, which is what happened overnight. Yes, there were a couple of hard downpours, but for the most part it seemed like just a steady rain. Almost like spring.

Not to our friends on TV. It was reason to go on another “storm watch.”

Hey, I guess this is what happens when you don’t have snow to foam at the mouth about.

The truth is we got about an inch to maybe an inch and a half of rain overnight. Coupled with some gusty winds, the streets were littered with tree branches this morning. Oh, and lest I forget, they were also wet.

Yeah, that’s what happens when it rains, the streets get wet.

Still, it will have an effect on traffic this morning. The Walt Whitman Bridge is already shut down because of an overturned tractor-trailer.

Here’s an early I don’t get it. Spare me the weather stories. To the best of my knowledge, we didn’t have any serious flooding problems, which was the warning we got much of the day yesterday, including the ever-popular “flood watch.”

That does not include the little bit of ponding on roads. That also happens when it rains.

It’s supposed to clear this morning and get chillier this afternoon. Alert the media.
