Texas Fall/Winter thread!

I was in Austin early in the day and San Antonio later and it's been raining off and on all around today. Rained so hard i skipped happy hour at Gruene Hall.

Hope to go to Enchanted Rock with my grandson if it doesn't rain tomorrow. If it does rain we'll go to the Witte.

We got 1/2 inches of rain Thursday and another 1/2 inch yesterday. More rain forecasted for today.

Now that would have to be some serious rain.

We probably ended up with 2-3/10ths, came in small showers. Went to Ft Worth and there was a few places with standing water. The sky sure looked "meaner" than the out come every where I went yesterday. Temps cooling too.

Jim, with the moisture we've been fortunate to get, that sure should make a difference in the workability of your dirt, probably "packs" better too!! Without dry clay like last summer you can put up the "TNT" for a spell:laughing:

Half an inch here. Steady rain, but nothing heavy.

Wow! We only got 3/4" yesterday afternoon between 5-6:30 PM. There was lots of pea and dime sized hail too with some nickel and quarter sized pieces. I have to get out today and see how much my new pond caught. I'd bet my work on digging inside the pond area has come to a screeching halt. Pictures later. . .

...later: Woohoo! It's a nasty and muddy little pond, but it has to start somewhere. The 3/4" rain gave me a foot of water in my pond. How cool is that?!! Pictures below:

We got another inch dumped on us, along with no power for 5 hours.

Been working outside with little projects today. Perfect 80 degree day. Then about 2:30 a north wind came and dropped temperature about 10 degrees. Should bring some much needed rain to the RGV this evening and tomorrow. High tomorrow is 56 in the morning. Then slow drop to low 40s in the afternoon. It's raining as I type. Hope it continues.

Jim,
I'm sure you didn't have your camera quite level and this perspective is hard to figure, but I'm wondering if this is the finished dam height and if you will have a cliff on the other side even when smoothed out?

We got about 2" of rain over the past 24 hours here in SE Texas. Temps are starting to drop now that the sun has gone down.
