Trick question for you – name our wettest month. (Key word is wet.) If you think like me, your first answer was probably April. The chart below shows average temps and precipitation in Patuxent River, Md. for 30 years and shows that March is the wettest month. Surprisingly, April is actually one of our drier months. Because the definition of precipitation includes snow, that may account for why March wins out as our wettest month.
However, the months May thru Sept show more precip than does April. There ain’t no snow in those months so it’s all rain falling down.

Re: why April is so noted for showers, there was this differentiation between rain and a shower that I’m not quite sure I get. Rain is rain – right?

I managed to talk Pam into watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers the other night. I say managed to talk her into watching it because it was right on the borderline of her criteria that she will only watch old movies that are not older than she is. Seven Brides was made in 1954 so you can do the math as to how old she is.
Following Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, next up on TCM was a showing of Singing in the Rain. I suggested we continue watching it.
However, as soon as the TCM host introducing the movie noted that it was made in 1952 that was that. We moved onto Love It or List It which I never mind watching just because Hilary is up there on my Woman I Like list.
Little trivia for you – Kelly was sick when he did this scene and did it all in one take.
