Rain Comes to Phoenix

7 Comments By Chris Tingom on March 11, 2006

Wow, 143 days in Phoenix without rain and today it rains. Can it get any better? I submit that it cannot! My favorite line in the newspaper this morning was this: “For rain fans, it’s going to be a nearly perfect day,” Haffer said, “and it’s going to be statewide.”

This afternoon I’m going to head over to the Apple store with my camera just in case they have a window display like this one.

  • If you’re talking about the one off Camelback, they do. I was there a couple days ago. It freaked me out when I saw it even more than it normally would because they’re doing construction and maintenance on the landscaping and sidewalks around the store. I thought one of the workers had an accident.

  • For those of us who where in the process of landscaping our backyards, it was not a perfect day. It rained for at least 18 hours straight down here in Maricopa. What a mess — the soil down here is like concrete when it’s dry but turnes to grease when it’s wet.

  • Hey Mark, yeah I have another friend that was planning to landscape his yard as well. I need to ask him what happened. No doubt rescheduling would be in order.

    Sorry to hear it went so badly.

  • Bad is what happens when you have a doggy door. No more dogs or me. I’m a cockroach kinda guy from here on out.

  • I’m just back to Phoenix from Dallas, where the weather was unseasonably warm and sunny in the 80′s. By some strange quirk of timing and travel, the last time I saw rain was in Amsterdam last August!

  • Andy – that’s really weird! August is a long time. Funny.
