2-21/2 inches in our 6 gauges in 3 days - so thankful. After the 80’s I’ve learned to “love a stormy night”.
We’ve been dry here for 3 years. Really dry starts for three years and sparse rain the rest of the summer, but someone said global warming will turn us into the tropics. Hot and wet, goodbye lentils hello pineapples.

That's not that much if that's the total of all six gauges!

Just kidding, I know what you mean.

The land in the Tropical Slum of the Ghetto is taking on the water quite well. There will be seeded pot holes that will be lost and small areas in the fields seeded through the first time over will be lost as well.......very small price to pay for what we received.

Still very "thankful" grassy

We have had flooded fields since 2004 and I just dread it again. Love it when its dry.

Get a half section of canola up and looking great then 4" of rain and it all turns a purple color and gives up growing and ends up yielding 15-20. Or a half section of wheat that looks good until the rain comes and then it all turns yellow. Then its time to spray it and you think " Do I go in and make 6-8 inch ruts all the way down and back" Its not the nice looking field you thought you had.
Give me a drought any day!

Oh yeh Grassfarmer, I heard your rain train is on the tracks, headed straight for you. Cows will have lots of feed to fart with.

That is why we are the mud zone.
And loved the mini drought..

Nope, that ain't pretty.

But some people don't like when something realistic is mentioned.

We are full now. We are very close to three inches since last Thursday. As I said, can I please save some for later.

Yup, one extreme to another.

Good for you - Norwegians must have redirected the big dump we were supposed to get to you instead. Only about 3/10ths here which puts us to 1.75" for the spring. Was at a place west of here yesterday where they have only had 3/10ths all spring and their hayfields are burning up.
