Peaches in full bloom, cant help but think if Jim (Jinman) every spring when I see the peach flowers, you long timers know what I mean.


Finally got 1.21" rain, more forecast for this evening

Looks like most of the shrubbery we thought might have been killed in the deep freeze in February is going to survive. Most is budding out real well.

Got about .7 in rain night before last and that helped.

Looks like a real nice day today!

Yep, Jinman is definitely missed. I also thought of him when I saw the first Bluebonnets yesterday in my neighborhood.
And I, too, hope for a little more rain tonight.

Yep, I see Bluebonnets and I think of Jinman. It misted on and off all day here.

Yes Bird, I recall his like of bluebonnets as well, soon he would be headed down to the peach festivals, good man with a lot of life experience .

.47" early this morning, cutting our deficit for the year.

Bird, saw you had some rough weather and rotation near your town last night too!

I only heard a little thunder just before I went to bed. My wife tells me we had just a little very small hail and some wind, but i see no sign of anything this morning, except about 1.48" of rain in the gauge.

Thankful for the shower we just had.

Rain .. has been going north of us.

 

[bindian]

Just a little misting today and yesterday. Nothing to write home about, so I ain't!
hugs, Brandi

 

[Western]

Just less than 1-1/2" for the week, hopefully takes us out of severe drought, cut our yearly deficit so far by half.

Were are right below 6 inches behind normal rainfall. My disabled friend, who lives at the back of my property, told me I need a water truck to damp down the drive back to his house!

We need rain. Getting a little drizzle is all.

 

[Bird]

In the last 3 days, including this morning, I've gotten about .71" of rain, and that's the total for this month.

Same for us. Hopefully today.
Don, did you get hail?

We received just over 1.5" over the last 3 days here. Weather person on the local news said 2.4" for our town over last 3 days. Usually our numbers are real close to what the weather person reports so not sure why the big difference this time.

We're about 10 miles south of the Denton, TX airport where the official weather report is recorded. Their numbers often match my cheap little rain gauge, but there can also be a huge difference in the numbers in that distance, as there has been this past week.

In Buffalo we got over 2”s between Thursday night and this morning.

I was talking to a friend who handles roof claims for insurance companies the other day and he told me that the E. Texas area ha gotten a years worth of abpverage rain fall already so far this year.

i think it’s been a little more in E. Texas. Central Tx is above average but not exceptionally.


Is anyone actually DRY currently?

Our big tank had come up over seven feet and was a foot over the spillway Saturday morning and we have gotten another 3" of rain since then. There is enough standing water in the fields that it seems to have drowned all of the fireants and their little ghosts have turned into mosquitos. I would like to have one year that is not too hot, or too cold, too wet or dry. This year is not going to be it.
