Finally dry enough to do some work

[The Suburban Farmer]

I don't know if this is officially the wettest winter in VA , but it is in my personal experience.

+1 to this. It's the worst we've had since I've lived here. I've never seen our ground as soggy as it is now, and we have water standing in places where it NEVER stood before.

Definitely one of the wettest I can remember in my 24 years here. I think it would have been one of the snowiest if the patterns hadn't kept giving us warmups whenever moisture came through during the first part of the winter. For that first period, it was either cold/dry or warm/wet, but never cold/wet. It wasn't until the pattern shift in February that we started getting cold with the moisture, and bingo, there were 2-3 substantial storms within 2-3 weeks.

I really feel sorry for my neighbors in the process of building their homes -- the mud has been some of the worst I have seen on building sites.
