After a soggy start to spring for much of the country, we wanted to get a gauge on how the drenching was received by our readers.

We asked in our last poll “Spring Rain: How was it at your place?” and received a fairly even response between the three options: “too much”, “too little” and “just right” with those satisfied jjust shading those complaining about an excess – probably those in the upper quarter of the country.

Just 27% of respondents thought they were hard done by and didn’t get enough rain, as the west of both islands endured a dry spell as the rain falls elsewhere.
