Hate to complain about water, especially when we had such a dry winter and spring, but 6 inches since Saturday afternoon and still just pouring. Every thing washing out, we needed the recharge but I would rather see it a little on the dry side than too much. Have a good one.

Send it our way! The pasture at our place in Dallas now has cracks in the ground nearly 2 inches wide.

I hope your rain makes it to Big Wisci later today. I know they have some in the forecast over night. We sure could use it.

Here too.
I wanted to do some welding this evening but it's still spitting out there. Really dumped on us since about 8PM last night. My rain gauge isn't too scientific but I'm reading about 3 5/8" since last night.

Texas will take all you can send us. Hate to say it. But I think we are in for what we had last year. High heat and no rain.Ranchers already talking about selling stock off.

A week ago today there was a 175 acre forest fire that almost burned into town. (population 3500). Since Sunday, we've had over 4" of rain. If the rain would have come three days sooner, it would have saved a lot of heartache and a bundle of money used for putting the fire out.

Send it East - Michigan's getting pretty dry. Have seen some fields where farmers are irrigating and the crops not even up yet.

6" is way too much. What part of Mn are you in? My son hauls feed in SW Mn and NW Ia and he said there are ponds all over the place in southern Mn and northern Ia close to the Mn border. When I watch the radar I keep seeing rains going from the southwest corner of your state headed northeast toward the Twin Cities area. Hope you don't end up with too much damage. Jim

Very dry here in Northern Indiana. We would take what you dont want. Corn needs a drink and the rest of the beans need to come up yet. Dry when beans went in. Some had moisture. Some didnt!
