July rains may have set a record in Vermont.

July rains may have set a record in Vermont.



Meteorologist Roger Hill said the records may be statewide too. He said quote -- "We've been blowing the doors off the norm." Hill says that "norm" for July is just over three and a half inches of rain and last month, the state measured more than double that: seven point four! He says not only was the amount of rain more than normal, so was the time period in which it fell: 22 out of 31 days. It rained for 22 days in July. Hill calls it "brutal", but he says jokingly that he's a wanted man. Quote "people are really nice, but they joke constantly...Witness Protection Program for Roger!"
