Ah ! The annual weather bomb phenomenon . This area is still clearing up after the last 2 weather bombs.

Is the weather better? No. It is simply different.

I like the idea of a 'weather bomb', it sounds like very friendly.

Seems like all that rain we never had during the summer has saved itself up in a special reservoir in the sky. Drought, what drought?
