Beating the rain

We were checking the radar right after lunch. It was evident that it was going to rain but it looked as though there would be probably two hours before the storm system arrived here. We beat it out the door and the GRider and I hightailed it to the Port Sheldon Party Store.We made it back before it rained.

In fact, we made it back about six hours before it rained. Finally this evening at nearly 8pm we are seeing some significant raindrops. This is not to say that there wasn't a weather show visible over the lake during the intervening hours. It is only to say that it hasn't actually rained until now.

It is raining now.
