Out here, in the normally dry plains of northeast Montana, we had about 6" of rain in September.
(I've been whining about it for a couple weeks now....)

Posted By: ihookem Re: Rain, and More Rain. - 10/01/19
We had 6" here in Wisconsin this month and another 3" in the next 3 days in the forecast.

They are calling for three inches overnight. The last cutting of hay is rotten in the windrow. We have some real wet places, I'm not sure how we will get the silage chopped.

Weatherchick is forecasting 3”-6” of rain in the next 48 hrs. We’ve had about 5” in the last week. If this keeps up it is gonna’ be a bear of a winter.

Send it to NE New Mexico - other than right around Raton Pass, we've been quite dry.

We would be pleased to swap.

Just had one of the driest Septembers on record. We had .7 tenths of an inch here at home, while some places got none. We're in a moderate drought, and I've already noticed a lot of trees have had the leaves die and have dropped them. What has compounded it so has been the heat, with a record setting number of 90 plus degree days. It's supposed to change by the end of the week, with a good chance for rain. It will be a welcome relief.

I have about 20 acres of wheat that I want to sow for hay, and have been waiting for some rain and cooler weather before I do. Hopefully, that is on the way.

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'.....

Got knocked out of the fields last night also, chopping in full swing in NW IA. Remainder of this week does not look good.

I see where Eastern NM and the Panhandle of Texas is getting a good soaking this morning.

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".
Posted By: Whelenman Re: Rain, and More Rain. - 10/01/19
Supposed to rain again tonight. I think we had 2to 3 “ in the last 2 days.
Posted By: wabigoon Re: Rain, and More Rain. - 10/01/19
It figures when some places are getting dumped on, some other place is short.

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

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.
Posted By: Johnny Dollar Re: Rain, and More Rain. - 10/01/19
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.

Green Bay WI set a new annual precipitation record with 40.11”. There are still 3 months left in the year

Richard, heard yesterday that we had rain on 21 out of the 30 days of September !!

Paul, how high are the lakes?
Posted By: New_2_99s Re: Rain, and More Rain. - 10/02/19
I heard LOW is going to be up 1 foot, by the end of the week.

I bet Route lake was up 18 inches last weekend. Nearly launched straight from the parking area !

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..

No end in sight. This could be a hard fall to get the crop in.

NW (I think, LOL) of Milwaukee WI, it's wet here.
Posted By: lvmiker Re: Rain, and More Rain. - 10/02/19
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.

Inevitable right, rain has turned to snow here this morning !

Posted By: wabigoon Re: Rain, and More Rain. - 10/03/19
Good luck dealing with the snow Paul. No dryer in Iowa. When it does let us get out to chop corn, we will have a ton of trouble hauling loads through the low places.
Posted By: whitearrow Re: Rain, and More Rain. - 10/03/19
send a couple inches to central Mississippi. we haven't even tilled our deer plots up yet due to the birds eating the seed if not rained on. man, its been awhile since we have seen rain here. planning on discing up the deer plots in a couple weeks and planting. maybe by then we will get a little at least.
