Did somebody say they wanted rain?

Was watching the weather last night, and it looks like you might get your wish end of the week. A bit iffy as to whether or not we'll get much this far north but where you are looked to be well within the storm.
Not sure where we stand statistically, but after the rain we've had over the past 3 weeks or so, the ground is quite saturated.

rain we got so far has been blessing but lot folks around here still feeling the hardship of the drought least 6"+ more rain would be nice before the ground starts to freeze,snow storm coming also big help.

We already have had so much rain here I have ankle deep puddles in places I never had puddles before.

Thursday night our forecast called for drizzle on Saturday night and Sunday. Less than 0.25" rain. OK, great, I have been waiting for some light rain for weeks so I could put down grass seed without having it washed/floated away. Spent Friday afternoon and Saturday morning aerating, putting down seed, etc. Well, what came through Saturday night through Sunday night was instead heavy rain intermingled with downpours. I just took a look this morning and all my seed is gone, probably all washed to the low end of my field. This would be the second year in a row I was not able to get a winter grass established. And that means it will be muddy until May when the weeds come back to life.

I am thankful we haven't had direct hit hurricanes here in VA. With the ground as saturated as it is, it would be a repeat of Isabel. Trees were toppling left and right during that storm. The ground was so saturated the roots had nothing to hang on to. I have never seen so many big old trees uprooted like that.

Been here 40 years, NC, never saw so much rain as this summer and Ive lived in western oregon.

I been whining about the rain so much I got tired of listening to myself, now nobody listens to me.

They say, Don't complain about the rain or a winter calf. I've said it before, if you can't complain, what are you supposed to do?
