According to Environment Canada, Kitchener-Waterloo received 140 mm of rain in October.  This is about the same amount of rain that fell in January, February, March, April and May combined. May of this year only had 11 mm in total. Although Environment Canada shows no precipitation yesterday, we had some drizzle out here at Laurel Creek. Including today’s brief snow shower, that would make 12 days in a row of precipitation.  All of the precipitation, cool temperatures and brisk winds have people wondering what winter will be like this year.
