Is this rain insane or what? Today may finally see an end, if only momentarily, to the cloudy gloomy weather we have seen in one of the darkest Junes on record.

The Boston Globe recently ran a front page story on this ridiculous weather that featured Robert Skilling, the meteorologist at the Blue Hill Weather Observatory and Science Center, which is here in Milton.

Mr. Skilling is pretty excited about some of the records about to be set. We do not share his enthusiasm; but this is an interesting article and he is an interesting man. You can read the full story here and see an accompanying video below.
