Days of Rain

Almost every day for the past handful of days torrential rains have passed through in the late afternoon or early evening hours - or both. There hasn't been a lot of wind, hail and lightning - just lots of rain.

The rain brought the level of the rivers up almost to the top of the wall in Waterford.

And here are some shots, also from this morning, showing the high level of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers as the Steamboat Meet takes place at Waterford Harbor.

Here's a graphic from the National Weather Service showing rainfall totals from this system. All this area pretty much drains into the Hudson or Mohawk Rivers by the time they reach Waterford, the immediate Lake George area notwithstanding.
