1.4 inches since Sunday afternoon ,3.1 inches in last 10 days . That’s more than we had all last growing season. We did have around 3 inches last fall so ground is very wet here now. Be a few days before we will get rolling .

I'm sure theres some 3" measures out there.

Just shy of 2 here, up to 2.5 within 6 miles. Impressive... nothing necessarily unique about the lead up, it just decided to open up. Moods are elevated. Grass jumped 3" overnight.

Gracious. Ecstatic. Still cautious... the deficit is significant over the last 4+ years, but this should give reasonably assured germination for cereals and pulses. Lord knows well start seeding oilseeds in a week and be praying for that magical 1/2".

Following graph is pulled from AFSC's weather station in the neighborhood, and shows average ad well as measured precip over the last 365 days. We could soak another 2" away tomorrow and just be back to average for the last y/y.
