Today we got the storm from the west coast.  Here where I live in the suburbs of Boston, we just had plain old rain all day.  It was not heavy, just rain.  The wind did blow though.  So when I went to pick up Jay from school, I saw some "Ponding".  At least that is what the weather man here calls it.  YOu tell me.

I would call this a puddle that you should be careful about driving through.  But actually maybe ponding is a better word for it.  Afterall, a puddle is what we can jump over or into.  Well I could do that with this one here, but it is in a parking lot.  So I guess for cars to go through, you don't know how deep it really is.  So maybe ponding is a better word.  Although to be perfectly honest, I don't think there is such a word.
