Question of the week: Has all the rainfall affected your summer plans?

“Not really. I haven’t made any summer plans yet. But the weather will probably affect them in some way.”

— Kristina Scott, student, Unadilla

“Of course it has. It’s also hurting my golf game. I wanted to take my girls camping this summer, but now that’s not going to happen. To them, it’s bad enough they can’t bring their blow-dryers or get cell-phone service, but if it starts raining, forget it. I just hope the whole summer isn’t like this.”

— Thomas Forte, administrative, Cohoes

``Sure. It makes it hard to do things with the kids when it’s raining out everyday. We’d rather be at the pool or playing outside together than inside all day. Hopefully, there will be a little break from all this rain before fall.”

— Teresa Scott, unemployed, Unadilla

“Well, it’s not the rain as much as it’s working and trying to complete an internship this summer that has been affecting my summer plans.”

— Paula Matt, bartender, Cicero

“From what I have heard, it’s going to be like this all summer. Sometimes, it’s the perfect excuse to play Guitar Hero with my roommates all day and order a pizza, but I’d much rather be hanging out at the lake or working on a tan with my girlfriend.”

— Matt Everett, sales, Burlington Flats

I think the rain is boring. I like to ride my bike outside at my grandma’s house, but can’t if it’s raining outside all the time.”

— Brittany Scott, student, Unadilla
