I hear ya...

Had 5 inches so far, and predicting between 6 and 10 inches more thru Thursday.

One thing about it, lots of my rancher clients will be calling to get their ranches shredded when it dries out. wink

Seen a few fields with tassels this weekend. Only a few pivots are running so far....

Some of the corn is starting to tassel here, we could use some rain too.

Yep, I pulled over and slept awhile coming south from Dallas last night. I must be getting old ‘cause driving down I 35 through all those concrete-walled construction zones at night in the rain in heavy traffic was less than appealing.

Woke up at home in San Antonio this morning greatly surprised by the torrential rain falling. Wet and highs only in the 80’s, not your usual July weather here.

So far, we've got about .005 today - first rain in about two weeks... We're over 4" short - and it really shows it.. So far this year is a close mirror of 1988... And that one really, really SUCKED..

Curious. Shredded = bush hogged ?

7 inches above normal here, haven't been able to cut my yard in over 3 weeks because of the constant rain.

13" here over the course of about three days, a couple of weeks back. Some people haying yesterday...more today. Corn is about all tassled out. After half a year, we've got more rain than we get in an average, whole year.

Dry as a popcorn fart here........

Send it..........

Northwest of Houston some 80-90 miles, we've got saturated lawns. It's spotty, but where it does rain, it rains a lot..

Sad thing is, I can't escape to my farm in West Texas - it is socked in with saturation, also. The farmer leasing my cropland couldn't get in from May to now to plant the cotton, the fields are so wet...

The entire inland West and the Left Coast are way behind on moisture and way ahead on temperatures. First cutting of hay in central Montana is running below 25 percent at best AND there won't be a second. Spring wheat is mostly history, and can't even be hayed because of the danged grasshoppers. Yep, it's a lot like 1988, that was the year of the Yellowstone fires.
Still, I don't know if I'd rather be drowned or burnt. Maybe neither?

quite a bit here in south central NM Evaporative AC aint working and i might have to cut the yard in a few places

I hear ya.. Most yards in this entire area are as brown as a Nathan's hot dog... Every farmer that has irrigation's been USIN' it... If we don't get at least 1-2" of rain in the next 24 hours, 3rd crop hay's gonna be MIGHTY thin.. And 2nd crop was only 60% of the first..

It's all Algore's fault.. smile

The yard guy is going to want to charge extra, screw him been calling him every day that's been dry.

Rain? Had to look that up. It's fictional phenomenon where water falls from the sky. Those of us on the western slope of the Rockies know the truth, though. It doesn't happen. It's a total fabrication. You people should be ashamed of yourselves spreading urban myths like that.

We have had way more than usual this summer, rain almost everyday, wasn't supposed to rain today, but i'm up to my butt in partly cloudy. Rio7

we just started getting the first of TS Elsa. 15 mph winds and very heavy rain. We got over a foot of rain in June, and it's rained every day in July so far
