Remember how I told you about our much-anticipated rain storms this week? Yeah, we didn't get any rain again. Officially no rain fell at Sky Harbor (the Phoenix airport and our official weather station). There were reports of trace rainfall around the valley. I understand that Tucson (about two hours south) got some rain.

Liz commented saying that she saw some rain in the west valley. I actually felt about a dozen drops and saw a small splattering of light rain on my windshield, but it was not enough to require wipers. Today is officially day 135 with no rain.

Ed Phillips (the only weather guy I really believe) said that the next disturbance (that's what we call it here whenever the weather is not sunny and dry) may occur next Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm definitely going to organize some sort of friends-and-family car wash just before then. That will incite the rain for sure.
