No, it's usually pretty nice, this unusual rain is due to remnants of hurricane Ike I believe.
It has been really miserable, I had to deliver pizzas the past 2 nights in the rain and then drive 3 hours in it back down to school. It sucked, and alot of roads were closed in my area due to being underwater making it pretty difficult to deliver in.

Friend of mine suggested to come up when I said I wanted to go somewhere for the weekend, so it all worked out nicely. Free place to stay, and I got to see Great Big Sea at the Celtic fest you guys were having (even though it was pouring). 
I actually followed Ike up; the weather was perfect for driving most of the way, and then I caught up with the pouring rain... and then I caught up with traffic on 55. Seriously, it was like 7pm on Friday, and it took me 45 minutes to go 10 miles on 55. What the hell?

Took me 1.5 hours to get to work! I live in Northlake but I work all the way near Morton Grove...
I also have a leaking roof on my house, so I need the roofer to come out ASAP later on this week!
