I've got some fencing to be painted and can't because it's been raining here everyday (on and off) for the past couple weeks. G

I'll take your excess rain!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Last year we had a 20" surplus.
So far this year, we are at 50% of average.... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Please send some our way. Looks like we are already settling into a hot and dry summer weather pattern and it is WAY too early for that, even in N TX. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Try what I did. In the Palouse we have been in a 5 year drought condition. I have a shed that needs a new roof so I began stripping the old shingles. That did it. It has been showering almost every day for the past three weeks and more predicted. The wx report last night said we are now at normal precip for the year. (first time in lord knows how long). The farmers, however, have not thanked me yet. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

BB_TX · May 28, 2004

Frank-What quick service. But you didn't have to send it ALL at one time. We got around 3" last night. Thanks. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Junkman · May 28, 2004

He must be spreading it around, because we got it last night and the night before. So much so, I am worried that the ducks are going to return to my lawn. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Doug,

I'm probably less than 50 miles east of you and the NWS says that we're 75% over normal on precipitation for the year to date.

It's wet here as well Junkman - It's been a good test of the new driveway I put in. rior to the new install, if it rained like it has this week we'd have a small pond in front of the garage, sometimes running into the garage. Now if I only could get out there and fix the rest of the yard.

rozett · May 28, 2004

We (and Frank) have been getting the nasty storms coming out of the mid-west.... although without all the wind and tornadoes. Yesterday was the first day of sun /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif (instead of liquid sunshine) in a week. But you never get what you really want. Several weeks ago I was planting 200 raspberries and all we had was warm, dry, sunny days. Once I got them in the ground, the rain started. Now I have 1000 balsam firs sitting in the barn which I can't plant ... except in the mud. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Boondox · May 28, 2004

Yeah, Frank, it's been pretty wet here in northern Vermont as well. Only a couple of times where the heavens opened and dumped buckets on us, but the steady soaking stuff makes chores a challenge at times. Can't mow, and the sheep aren't keeping up. Hate using the chainsaw when the footing is slick. Guess I could always add another breaker in the garage and wire some new section just for the practice! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

GOSH I AM SO GLAD TO HELP /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif did not seem to stop here as it poured again last night. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif on the bright side tho it ain't snow /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

that ain't going to work /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif mud makes for lousy planting. i was lucky enough not to get the stuff i want to plant , will wait till it dries out so i can work the ground.

DAP · Jun 1, 2004

Jim ... that's whats so strange. My immediate locale has seem to slip through the precip cracks. My sump pump has been on since early march and the puddles in the drive have dried TWICE.

Strange.

frank_f15 · Jun 1, 2004

Same here in western ny. get 1 or 2 days of no rain, to wet to do anything then it pours for a day or so and just adds water to the top of the ground. can't get to anything, without traring up the yard and grounds, would just creat more work in the long run. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
