HOW WET IS IT?

[Thomas]

We just got a good early morning down pour over here,and if this rain doesn't let up I'll have to pump out my better half flower garden to finish this project. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Oh darn looks like another windy day..more limbs and branches to pick up. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

Looks like you need about 3 or 4 days of good drying weather,and its sure hard to seat idle and watch the grass grow even higher knowing there nothing you can do about it. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

thomas we got a heavy t storm about 4 am, then bright and sunny and cool and windy. at least 3 days for normal stuff to dry, but more like 5 or 6 for the really wet ,low areas and grading work. but not to be, supossed to rain on and off for the next 3 days.

Sure wish that we in the interior west could have some of that rain. We're in a 4 year drought, the worst that has been recorded since 1896. The drought region includes Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, S. Utah, E. Wyoming, E Montana, Dakotas, W. Texas, and I'm sure that I missed a few states. Terrible dry. All of the lizards are packing canteens. Lot of large fires already.

Blackflies seem to extra hungry over in these parts. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

After losing a well in the drought three years ago and now another this past winter, I don't believe I'll ever complain about too much rain. (We won't be needing and Ark around these parts any time soon!) We are currently 10" below normal and now May was below avg AGAIN!

It's strange and scary to see ponds and streams that have NEVER been dry, end up drying up!

Send me your excess water!

Send some or all of that rain out to Arizona! We've had just a little over an inch for the year..the timber in the northern and eastern parts of the state are very stressed and dry..just had a bad fire in the mountains around Tucson that has burned over 20,000 acres.

Cheers all !!!!!!!!

How wet is it ? Well I'll show you how wet it is at my place today. I am once again at flood stage here.

Here are some normal/now photos.
The first is a culvert I recently put in.
