Re: [VFB] rain amount

[Tom Swahn Jr.]

Wow Deb!!!  I just was hearing this on the Weather Channel...To give you all an idea about my area, there's a spot in Sharon VT where Interstate 89 goes over the White River.  Those Vermonters out there may know where i'm talking about.  On one of the bridge pilings, someone had gone out there in the dead of summer and painted foot markings from the pad up to about 12 feet.  Yesterday coming home from my daughters softball game, the water was ticking the 5 foot mark.  Normally this time of year, the pad is under 6 INCHES of water.  Will be a few days here before things get back to normal.

Hard day to get the fish to bite.   Rick   --- Tom Swahn Jr  (VFB # 10545) --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- EarthLink: The #1 provider of the Real Internet.   "Fishermen are born honest but they get over it.."  Ed Zern   "I never go to rivers to kill hecatombs of trout or, actually, any trout; I go to unkill parts of myself that otherwise might die.."  A Few Premises-Nick Lyons
