I'm working on Rainfall in honor of Bandcamp Friday (https://rainfall.dev) and I just found a major bug that got introduced when I switched to Minio/object storage for storing user song files.

Basically, I was taking the `release.eno` file that I generate, which is used by Faircamp to create release descriptions/artwork, and uploading it to Minio instead of placing it on the filesystem where Faircamp could find it.

Yikes.

Bandcamp Friday this Friday!

Can I add new features to Rainfall and upgrade to Faircamp 1.1 before then?

A WET, BUT NOT TOO SEVERE, MONDAY:

The ingredients were there for #severe #weather to occur in the #Northland Monday, but #capping in the atmosphere kept it from becoming too widespread and strong.

What we did get was plenty of #rainfall. Some spots seeing more than their average for all of April!

FLOOD ADVISORY:

What the #Northland has been lacking with #severe #thunderstorms Monday, it is making up for with #rain.

A #Flood #Advisory is in effect for northwest Cook County due to over 2 inches of #rainfall so far today.

Be cautious around rivers, streams, and waterfalls.

Happy #Sunday afternoon from the #Northland!

The latest round of #showers are moving out of the region, leaving behind #cloud cover and a mix of #cool and #seasonal #temperatures.

More showers and #thunderstorms return later tonight. There could be a few #storms with #hail and heavy #rainfall.

Thankfully we had a wonderful few hours of steady rain last night into mid morning. The water butts at home are now completely topped up again. Will check on the allotment butts tomorrow.

Good job as the next ten day forecast once again has no rain in it. This has been a strangely dry spring so far for us.

There was a lovely petrichor smell in the air this morning. #Spring #Rainfall
