The mighty Umpqua rose and left a mess last week, so did the Coquille and Coos Rivers. It's raining now and 40 to 60 kt gusts....supposed to rain for the next 10 days. That's why I call this "Wet Dog" Oregon.

South Tx. - Lows in the upper 40's / highs have been in the lower to middle 80's. To damn hot for "winter".

BP...

It was 53 degrees and sunny here in massachusetts yesterday. The forcast for the rest of the week is the same. I will take that any day regardless if its winter or not.

Today is supposed to be our first day of sunshine since November 19th. Hope I don't go blind...

Freakishly warm here in MD. Supposed to be close to 60 most of the week then weekend drops to 40's then 30's and possible snow by Sunday. And here I sit with a new Kimber 84M Classic in 7mm-08 that I wanted to shoot this weekend and no chance to escape work early to do it while it's nice.

Too many 80s. All our tanks are dangerously low. Severe drought. Red Flag fire warnings many days. Cattle running out of hay and no green anything to eat. No leaves on trees to cut down.... I'll trade ya'll for some of the rain. 15 inches here would be what is needed to "catch up"

Jeff

Scarey warm and dry in Northwestern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Matter of fact, it's so dry the trees are chasing the dog's!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Same report as Jeff gave from just a little futher east in Texas.

We are 10.5 inches below normal in rain. Fires everywere. People trying to find hay somewhere. There is none here. Only good thing is warm weather so the old hides don't have to eat so much.

Lots of folks out of water in the stock tanks and skinny cattle going to the sale.

Some have just turned them loose to find water and something to eat or die. Deputies getting run ragged keeping loose stock off the roads.

Along I 45 there are burned patches every mile or so where idiots throw cigs out the car windows. Our VFD burned over $600 in fuel last month just running fires.

I will never complain about mud again. Gripe about excess rain all you want, drought is worse. This is a bad one and will be hell next summer if we don't get some water in the ground. May be as bad as the '50s which I remember well.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to send that down to TX and OK.. They could sure use it.

Balmy here today seeming it's January; gonna be 39F... Usually it's -10F during a normal winter, or colder... We even get to see the SUN today.. Yesterday was the first sunshine in about 15 days.

too stinking warm. highs in mid-60s, lows in low 50s.

Ditto. Give or take a couple of degrees either way.

Does that mean you won't be king? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Boggy, what are you guys payin for Big Rounds of Prairie hay??We have a fair amt. here around Wichita Ks.... If you guys need some connections let me know... 721

Crappy.IT needs to get colder to freeze the roads so I can finish hauling wood to the mills.

I just looked outside and the sun is shining. We haven't seen it in about three weeks.

Three days ago set record highs---70s.

Last night 2" of snow.

High today in the 70s with rain tonight.
