Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Western]

Far, Far less than 1/2" in my guage. All our rain was "TV Talk."

Jim, we've been getting allot of that lately. Since bird is closer, I think it falls on him to go have a "sit down" with Mr Delkus!

2.4" overnight here. Looking at the CoCoRaHas our county got between 2.4" and 4.5". Wow, it feels good outside at 65˚.

It had just started raining here when I left for work last. It got to Hobby around 3am. I left at 6 am to miss the rain/rush hour traffic. Got home to see both ponds overflowing and the gully just about to overflow. I was so excited, I forgot to check the rain gage until this afternoon. I have no idea how much rain we got because the rain gage only goes to 5 inches and it was full. However much rain we got, it was a gully washer for sure. My friend called me at 1:30 and said it had been raining hard for over two hours.
hugs, Brandi

Brandi, that's the kind of rain we keep hoping for.

Amen brother Bird!

Brandi, I will look for your ducks when I'm down working:laughing:

 

[txdon]

it's thundering/raining again here coming from the West. The line of showers looks like it extends North to Jim. ??

Lighting and thunder cranking up again. Radar shows some cells building up just to the west.

Amen brother Bird!

Dennis,
The ducks were put back into the pen until the fence around the pond is finished. Hopefully in the next two weekends. Booger was on the cable run when the ducks were loose, but I like him free to attack bad guys (girls?) and squirrels.
hugs, Brandi

Started a good steady rain this morning at 0330 and is still raining. 53* feels pretty good. Their reporting that this will end about 1200 and we'll have the sun breaking through with a high of 66*.

Put another .25 in the rain gauge this morning. Hope we can keep it going for May. Every little bit helps. HS

 

[txdon]

.42" overnight, that brings us to 2.82" for the last two days!
The May wildflowers are happy but not as abundant because of the lack of rain late Winter/early Spring.

It's good to see folks getting some rain!!! We got another 4/10ths last night puts us at 2" the past couple days !!

 

[Bird]

Last night, we got another .35". Looks like it's over now. Of course it's also 52 degrees this morning, for which I'm very grateful.

 

[sseelhoff]

.2" overnight. Total rain over the last 2 days was 2.25" My pastures say thank you. Nice and cool this morning, and the moon setting was beautiful.

 

[NativeSon]

We got about a half in this morning and for now it has stopped. For the 2 days a total of 1 1/2 in. We're proud of that.

Brandi, that's the kind of rain we keep hoping for.

Talk about Manna from Heaven!!! Wow! Brandi. Are you sure you haven't been doing a Native Texan raindance lately? GOOD FOR YOU!

It's very cool here this morning at around 45F. Feels great, but won't last for long. Delkus rarely misses it when he talks about warmer temperatures. I just wish his rain forecast was as accurate.:confused3:

The Dallas forecasters are Einsteins compared to the San Antonio meteorologists. The S.A. weather crew makes Miss Cleo look legit.

Got another .09, for a 2 day total of........WAIT FOR IT.................. .26
