Praying for rain

The drought continues - its officially been the driest January on record ever.  Everything is very brown.  We need some rain.  But more importantly there is no snow!  Having a skiing trip booked in 2 and half weeks time, its looking worrying.  Most of the runs are shut and the fake snow makers are out.  We'll be able to ski but the availability of sledding and tubing is looking grim.  Everyone is praying for rain - especially the ski shops!
