Rain

[EdKing]

Wouldn't you know it ? It finally dried up here in SW PA, so I went and got a box blade. Got it home, hooked it up and got to play for about an hour, then it started to rain. Ground is now a muddy mess. I guess I'll have to wait for it to dry out again.

Ed,
A direct result of murphy's Law.
Now I know why my day went OK, Murphy was in SW PA.

Mark,
Murphy's law seems to work with a vengance around here. No matter how much I prepare for what can go wrong, something else always does.

With me, it was raining all morning. When it stopped raining, the temps dropped like a stone./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif Well, I cant complane that much, it is only March.

Ed,
Send the rain our way..for we need it bad up hear.
There talk of banning all outside fires plus the streams darn low.
I'm considering doing a rain dance on my deck in my underwear..yep thats how bad its become. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

10F here this morning clear sky,and its a good morning to finish cutting up the last tree,and hauling the wood out before it gets muddy.

Have fun w/your new attachment today.

Thomas,
That's the wierd part. They are talking about drought conditions around Pittsburgh, 50 miles north of me, and we have more than enough water here. The streams were running high after the rain. I'm probably going to mount my tooth bar today as the ground is just too wet to play with the boxblade. It is also a little too cold to wash all the mud I would acquire off of the tractor today.

Wish it would rain here; I finished planting all the garden and the forecast is for a 40% chance tomorrow. Just a bit foggy right now.

I wish it would stop raining here. I just spent a bunch of time "fixing" a drainage swail in my front yard. Got it just right and put down burlap and straw. Near as I can tell from the house the straw got pushed down the ditch, formed a dam and caused the water to go places I definitely didn't want it to go.....ARGGGGGGG!!!!! Our forcast is calling for rain about every third day so tractoring can be a bit of a mess. We keep saying that we won't move to another new house that needs a yard put in and yet we do it again and again. I guess my memory is short. At least this time I have the enjoyment of the tractor to compensate for the frustration./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Weathermen are having to quickly revise their forecasts./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif I went down to the creek for just a few minutes, caught one nice crappie, and got back to the house just as the rain started, so now we're getting a very nice shower./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

 

[EdKing]

Getting more rain today./w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif
I was going to put my toothbar on today, but I hate working in the rain. The only building I have big enough is the barn where I keep the tractor, but I have no electric there. I usually bring the tractor to my shed behind the house to work on it. I can't wait till I get my garage built.

Just went out to look around, raining even more. Yard is a swampy mess./w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif
Creeks are just below floodstage./w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif I hope this stops soon or I won't be getting any seat time until April/w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

It rained alot Friday night here in Ohio. I couldn't get anything done at our property yesterday. I went out this morning & it's rained all day - what a mess. I did get a pile of brush burned which is helped by the rain. Otherwise it has been dry and burning is not advised. You have to burn when it is wet /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif
This rain has probably postponed the start of the construction of our new house. Should have started this Tuesday, but I'm sure that it will be delayed /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
I was able to identify some low spots that need to be taken care of for proper drainage on our driveway.

raining a lot here in Arkansas also. Here is a picture of White river bank full

The sky and lighting even looks like what I have today, Jim. I only got just a little less than .4" of rain this morning; just about right for what I wanted. It stopped by noon, but more in the forecast for the next two days. Hope we don't get a big rain and flood the creek or that'll be the end of the crappie fishing for this year before it even gets started good.

 

[jimmoore]

yes Bird, I would like to have about a dozen big slab crappies right about now, yummy!

11:30 PM here and it is still raining./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif I guess the week of warm dry weather was just a teaser./w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Well, I woke up this morning to about 1/2" of snow./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif They say we may get up to 3" today./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif I thought all this snow s@%t was over. I want summer!
