Spring in Rochester NY?

It's been raining a lot here in Rochester this spring. I probably shouldn't really bitch because according to the Weather Channel and other portals of weather insight, it looks like a lot of the U.S. has been besieged by curiously turbulent weather thus far in the spring of 2004. Unfortunately for Rochestarians, every weekend since the end of winter has had atleast one rainy day, with many weekends a complete rainout. I swear, we have even had a few weekends where the rest of NY is completely dry, but a mass of rain hangs right over our area (Rochester and the 'burbs) and kicks out the perpetual sogginess. I pull out clumps of hair when I look at the weather radar and see those seemingly chronic green blobs right over our area. Yeeees!
It was so rainy last weekend that the port-o-potty used by the builders in our new housing development started to float off it's little wooden skids to ala smelly Noah'a ark!
The dampness is so persistent that my poor little garden gnome has developed a nasty case of athletes foot. It's crazy, man.
But, alas there is hope, or a chance of hope. This weekends forecast was calling for TWO nice days of weather. However, late this afternoon I heard that yet another mysterious storm system (this time from the south. Thanks Dixie folk!) MAY encroach on us yet again. For the sake of my garden gnomes fungus laden ceramic feet, and the poop-ark, I hope we are rain free! We'll see...
