14 Reasons Why Vermonters Are Sick And Tired Of The Rain

OK, I know it's cliche to talk about the weather, but is anyone else sick and tired of all this rain? I mean, seriously! It's been almost two months of rain showers every single day. There are many reasons why we're all ready to move onto some sunny skies, but here are 14 that keep popping up in the talk around town because Vermonters just love talking about the weather. Rain in VT has its plusses, but this is ridiculous. Anyone else agree?

1. It's not a substitute for a car wash.

We might try to fool ourselves, but it's not.

2. Frizzy hair.

Good hair days are a thing of the past.

3. It's green already!

In fact, everything has been green for quite some time. We're ready for some sunshine to enjoy the colors of Vermont.

4. Gardening in the rain is no fun.

Soil on hands: gratifying. Muddy soil on hands: not fun.

5. You can forget about hanging your clothes out to dry.

A clothesline? What's that?

6. You need snow tires again.

All this rain has made the dirt roads practically impossible to navigate at times.

7. Simply put, it's killing our mojo.

Can't put it any clearer.

8. Nothing is really "in season" at the moment.

Sure the veggies need water, but they also need SUNLIGHT!

9. Our summers are short enough already.

So we need every second of it!

10. Those muddy paws!

We love our furry friends, but the mud prints left behind? Not so much.

11. If we wanted constant rain, we'd live in Seattle.

Sorry, Washington. It's just not going to cut it here.

12. Day after day inside gets pretty boring.

You can only play so many board games.

13. The kids are going stir crazy!

You wouldn't believe how many things can get broken in a single day.

14. It's been so long...

We actually MIGHT forget how to ride a bike!
