incoming weather

[Dotch]

No kidding. It started a little after 3 here.

[mike89]

I know it was raining here by 130 this morning, heard it when I got up... 

[Scenic]

talked to Jim, my friend 3 houses away, and he says he had 1 1/2 inches of rain in his gauge so far...

By the looks of it we got about that so far as well.  Been raining all day and still raining. 

[mike89]

radar show's rain is done for now...  still some coming down...  wind is making  noise now too...

[LPS]

It was light rain all day here.  It turned to snow mix and the ground is white again. 

[mike89]

well we must be over 2 inches of rain so far....  sure glad it's slow so that it soaks in vs it running off..  and then think about how much snow this could have been!!!

we watched to news at noon........the map showed cold spring had 2.1 inches at that point..........and it rained most of the afternoon. 

pretty certain thats more rain then we had all summer!!!!!

[glenn57]

just checked FM..guy was picking crawlers from his yard!!!!!!!!!

[mike89]

looks like the rain is over for now anyway...   

[Dotch]

Looks that way here too. Storm totals were 1.31" at the ranch and 1.51" in Bugtusle. Actually was graupeling while we were doing chores but didn't accumulate. Just kinda dreary and damp. Should've been a beneficial rain for crop production purposes. The ground was largely frost-free so it should've all soaked in. 

[LPS]

Gonna be near 40 the next 4 days here.  Lows in the 20's.

[roony]

I'm thankful all that rain wasn't snow or ice.

[glenn57]

#4 news at noon said cold spring had 3.17 inches of  rain. 

[LPS]

That is a lot of rain.

[tangle tooth]

      Our total rain fall was at 1.77". We'll take it. Almost slipped and fell on ice on the wood deck this morning. Concrete was dry.

[Jerkbiat]

Been lightly raining most of the day here. Icy all over the place.

[Gunner55]

Barely enough snow to cover the ground the way it looks, so most of that should be gone later today.

[mike89]

snow covered ground this morning... 

[mike89]

[Dotch]
