You are on to something with the pouring concrete idea. I tried something similar by stripping and re-painting my front porch. Sure enough as soon as we were ready to prime the steps we started to get a little rain. Unfortunately it has only been enough to take my catchment tank from 15% or so to maybe 25% but I'll take it. Maybe I need to take on a bigger project that would really depend on dry weather like re-roofing the entire house. That might be just enough to make it start pouring down.
On another note, my mom just visited for the first time and stayed for three weeks. I spent the entire visit constantly telling her "No seriously, you don't know how lucky you are. Normally it is pouring cats and dogs this time of year". She probably though we were just being big babies for the last 4 years with how much we talk about all the rain here.
