Greeting from the Maryland rain forest. we have had 16 inches of rain since Saturday . The tomatoes are getting limp, I hope they make it. We are fine but I have heard of flooded basements and farm road bridges about to be washed out. Many temporary road closures. A couple more inches tonite is predicted

Strange weather patterns. Here in western Washington, we're burning up (literally). Lots of wildfires, burn bans everywhere. We've had less than an inch of rain since the beginning of May, zero for the past month or so. 85 to 95 degrees every day. Its usually pretty dry here in the summer, but we started 2 months early this year. No second cutting hay- the fields just turned brown after they were cut.

Luckily, we've got a good aquifer, so I'm out there in the garden with my little hose twice a day.
 
Here in southern MN, we are down to under 5 inches a week finally! What a wet year. I put some hay up that only got rained on twice, some of the nicest hay I've seen in three years.

My cousins had an average of a half inch a day for over 30 days, just crazy amounts of water.

Crops look it, terrible.

In the NW corner of MN, we're dry! Not so dry that we don't have skeeters, but they're few and far between. Almost have to go looking for them to find any, and that's rare for these NW MN wetlands.

I LIKE IT!! :D
 
Our official total for the year is now around 10.5". I think I may be an inch or two ahead of the Official site. But we are only a little over 4" behind average. We are dry.
