I don't know how much we got last night but it was a game changer
Tank by the house was about 8' low it was running around the spillway this morning.
Creeks are running for first time since late spring last year.

Sure glad you got your ponds full Fence. Around here we are wondering when the sun is going to shine again.

That is always a good feeling to get a lot of rain to bring your water level back up again.

It's been a little rainy up here since Sunday night and I'm registering 2.79" since then. Glad I put out extra hay.

We've received a lot of slow soaking rain lately. That has been needed and appreciated. Fence and many needed a little bit of run-off type rain to fill the water tanks. This is a blessing. 6 years ago I was hauling 1500 gallons to the cows daily. Wow !! What a pain that was.

Been raining here for most of February and January wasn't exactly dry either. Nothing spectacular, just mostly slow soakers.
mud everywhere. Typical late winter for my area.

A friend of mine near Poetry, couldn't get home last night. Roads were flooded.
When I lived in TX, it didn't take much to flood anything but I remember in 2011, I could stick my entire leg in the ground as big as the cracks were.

Crazy weather year, never seen it so dry as this summer, never seen it so wet as this winter. Same here. Its been in the 40s. Wind just picked up. Expecting 50MPH gusts and a negative windchill by midnight. Then Friday, 40 again.
Just last week, my cows were sunbathing. Hard to keep them healthy with these weather swings.

When I lived in TX, it didn't take much to flood anything but I remember in 2011, I could stick my entire leg in the ground as big as the cracks were. I can do that now, if I push down hard enough.....cows don't even have to try. This year, the cold fronts are staying mostly to the North, moving West to East across the Midwest and that draws lots of Gulf moisture up thru East Tex/La and we just get cool weather and rain. It's only after the upper cold fronts move on the the East that flow of moisture stops and we get a couple days of sunny weather, which should start again Thursday morning...then in a few days, it's rinse and repeat till the westerlies stop for the most part. |

I wish I'd have known some of you needed some rain. I'd be more than happy to give you some of mine. At this point I'm thinking it might be easiest to just go ahead and stock the ditch out in front of the house with fish and run a hose for days like that one six months ago when it actually almost dried out. I had a guy tell me today that he's fifty six years old, has never lived anywhere outside of this county, and has never seen anything like the past year.

wet and mud here.. and when it does freeze... it snows before.. insulating the ground so it doesn't freeze.. so its cold, snowy, with mud underneath... nice.
