Second prize....you don't win Please respond to this post when posting and put your time in the subject box so your pick shows up nicely.

May 16 - Wednesday - 3 pm - looks like it’s going to rain. May 17 - Thursday - 6 pm - It feels like rain. June 03 - Sunday - 3 am - it’s been raining off and on all night. Nothing really heavy, but the first rain of the season. 2002 May 15 - Wednesday - 7 am - it is starting to rain a bit. May 19 - Sunday - 8 am - it looked like it was going to rain.

June 09 - Saturday - 9 am - It started to rain hard, the power went out. 2008 May 29 - Thursday - 5 am - sprinkling. First rain of the year. June 10 - Tuesday - Around 6 am the power went off, I knew it must be raining as the power always goes off when the first rain happens. Sure enough it was sprinkling, first rain of the year. 2009 June 04 - Thursday - 4 pm - the rain is not far away. June 13 - Saturday - 12 pm - but it looks like its going to rain. June 15 - Monday - 2 pm - It rained a little bit, not enough to totally wash off the car. June 16 - Tuesday - 9 pm - It rained some.
