We had rain all day yesterday and they say it will continue through today. It will get a lot of the allergens out of the air, which is good, but it is keeping the temperature rather cool (low 70s for a high), so I have to wear a sweater everywhere.
It was a nice quiet day on the roads yesterday afternoon when we ran errands. I know most people are at school and work then, but we always run errands during the day and traffic was rather light. Maybe they decided to try for a dry day.
We purposefully do things out in the world when the most folks are at work. Less traffic and less wait times.
Yes, that's why we run errands in the morning or afternoon, but still there is a lot of traffic. It just seemed so quiet that day when it was raining.
