This has been the most rainy of weeks, months, and years I have ever seen. As a result, mine and many other yards are a mess and are wet. My driveway desperately needs to be regraveled. Also, there has been about a 2 foot wide pothole formed in front of the traffic light leading to the Walmart in Gaffney. I also cannot keep my shoes clean.
Here are some tips and pointers I have picked up for survival during these times.
1. Go out only when necessary and try to drive during the day if possible.
2. Check at least four forecasts for any updates and plan your days accordingly.
3. Don't park in grassy areas and use caution at bridges and mud holes. Like the giant pothole in Gaffney, it could be worse than you think.
4. Buy like you would for a winterstorm: stock up for days in advance.
5. Keep your natural cold and flu remedies on standby as temps do fluctuate during these times.
6. Dress with some sort of boots or cleated shoes, long coats and pants with high cuffs.
7. Watch out for flooding and leaky areas.
8. Have plenty of milk or a strong source of Vitamin D. Days without sunshine can emotionally deplete you.
These are some to help get you through these times. If you don't live in an area like Seattle or London, you may not be used to all of this. Therefore, be prepared and plan carefully.
