Flooding on the golf course at the Arlington Rec Park recently. CAROLINE BONNIVIER SNYDER â BENNINGTON BANNER BENNINGTON â Bennington didnât get as much rain as other towns in the region over the weekend. But it has seen an extraordinarily wet July, which has brought flooding and soil erosion. Bennington recorded 0.6 inches of rain between Sunday night and Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service. In comparison, Manchester got 1.4 inches during the same time, Woodford had 1 inch and Brattleboro had .75 inches. The region is experiencing a âvery anomalously wet weather patternâ for this time of year, said meteorologist Michael Main, of the National Weather Serviceâs Albany, N.Y., office. He attributes this to ordinary showers and thunderstorms that are nonetheless moving slowly, sitting over an area for hours.
