C'Mon Rain... You Can Do It!

It's no mystery that we're in the midst of a world-class drought here on The High Plains o' New Mexico and throughout the entire southwest, actually.  We got a lil bit o' rain in P-Ville last night but it was typical of our rain storms in that it only lasted for about four or five minutes, or just long enough to wash the dust off of the cars.

This evening ol' Ma Nature is teasing us yet again.  Note the radar picture:

There are storms all around us but not ON us and one can feel the moisture in the air if one steps outside, however briefly.  We have the promise of rain, yet there's precious little hope of delivery on that promise.

Here's what our skies look like...

Looking NNW... and...

Looking SSW.  

I'm hopin' against hope that After Dinner Whiskey Hour gets rained out tonight.  IF that happens you won't hear me complainin'.  Nope, not at all... as a matter of fact I might just go outside and stomp in a few puddles if we get what we need.
