Texas Spring/Summer Thread

I dumped about 2.6" out of my gauge this afternoon; biggest one day rain of the year for me. Looking at the radar, I would not expect anymore rain tonight, but the NWS is still showing 100% chance tonight, and I hope they're right.

It was a great East Texas soaker. Rained almost all day, 2 inches in the gauge. In the afternoon when it slowed up there was quite a few big puddles but an hour later they had all soaked in. Just the kind of rain we needed as we were really dry.

The real shock was the coolness. Yesterday morning 68*, this morning 66* at 0415, very nice specially for mid July.

I would have been happy to get 2 or 3 times as much as we got, but I'm certainly thankful for what we did get.

Same here, never complained about too much rain.

It finally started here about midnight and has been raining off and on all night. Woo Hoo!

Yep, as far as I'm concerned, the weather just doesn't get any better than what we had yesterday.

Incidentally, I went to Sam's Club and Walmart on University Drive in Denton yesterday and they both had lots of bucket sitting in the floor all over the stores to catch the roof leaks. I didn't ask, but wondered whether it was the result of the hail back in April that busted all their skylights. Of course the skylights have been replaced.

Got another 1.25 and it's raining this morning. Sure glad to be getting it,should knock back the grasshoppers also,was starting to see more and more. Hate to have to get that high dollar spray out on pastures.

We only got another .03" during the night for a total of 2.63" but we also have a new record low temperature for this date of 64 degrees this morning, and it's still overcast, but they've taken the rain out of the forecast.

Hydromet shows 2.9 for 24 last hours.

I think the details for the hay thief were kept sealed with a plea deal for the hay owner. Not sure what happened to the thief. Apparently the guy has a long tawdry list of not so good deeds.

1.64" was all we did, but at a sure needed time. Rained somewhere around Houston almost everyday this week.

1.5 in my gauge this a.m. -- Austin got more and so did txdon just north of me. not complaining - we'll take what He gives us.
