After the wettest Spring we ever had, we get the hottest driest September ever recorded. Clay makes my house a rollercoaster.

Ok looking at that picture I have to ask. Compared to what? Cretaceous period or sump'n?

Just had one of the driest Septembers on record. We had .7 tenths of an inch here at home,
That's 2 tenths more than I got in Sept. An inch and a quarter in Aug, and inch and an eighth in July. Only 10.6 inches, year to date. Tell me about 'dry'.....
In 2017 we had 3.4" of moisture from January-September. That was DRY.
Same 9 month time frame in 2019 and we are at 17.5".
We're actually above average for the year by quite a few inches, with that coming earlier in the year. Our soils just don't hold water that well, and therefore it can go from being too wet, to too dry in a matter of weeks. But, the killer here has been the hot weather and a dry wind.
Started to rain about noon and now it's 3:30 pm and we have almost 2". The creek in the backyard is the rippin' along pretty good. It's supposed to rain the rest of the day and part of tomorrow - we might actually see the 5"- 6" they are calling for.

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
Green Bay WI set a new annual precipitation record with 40.11”. There are still 3 months left in the year
Same here... Wettest year on record, to date.

Ditto... Only September I recall that was worse was Sept. of '66.. Only four days of sun the entire MONTH.. Reason I remember it, is that's the year my parents built their house.. The crew couldn't do a single thing nearly the whole month - only part of the framing was in place.. Roof not on..
Rained all day yesterday - finally finished the lawn an hour ago and it's due to begin raining again in a couple hours.. It's barely 50F here now and eff it - I'm going to fire up the wood stove..

I just drove back to LV from Mccall, Id. Plenty of snow and rain enroute . I don't remember seeing the west this green in Sept. in recent years. It is always a pleasure to get snowed on after a desert summer but there were still a lot of crops in the fields in Idaho.
