wishing for rain
Weather wizard, are you listening?
We really need rain; can you send us some?
It seems odd that this lack of water goes back to the beginning of 2015 given that was our year of never-ending snow.

The widespread drought comes as Greater Boston experiences one of its driest periods in recent years. Rainfall is down 9.5 inches this year, and 18.5 inches since the start of 2015, according to the National Weather Service.
