Remember spring of 2018?


Yes, I do! This was on March 5th.

I'm Plowing with the ol' Allis WD.

Have no idea why the pics are "sideways"!

Actually in NE Kansas we had a very dry winter and very dry spring until mid May - rains came making it a decent spring but the cool grasses that normally started growing in late April were stunted. Row crop farmers that hit it early had ground worked and planted just in time for the spring rains. With a wet fall, and an extremely wet winter lots of ground that worked last year at this time hasn't been touched. And probably won't be touched for another month.
 
It went from cold and rainy to hot in a few days. I think all the corn and a good part of the beans were in before the end of April.
 
This appears to be the 4th year of wet, wetter, really wet, terribly wet by me.

Can?t believe it in my little circle of southern Minnesota.

Pray for Nebraska, they are getting pounded by flooding and now a blizzard, it sounds terrible there, roads washing out. The road 511 from there shows half the state is closed roads, either flooded or whiteout or both.

Western Kansas and Nebraska are getting 60 to 80 MPH straight winds today. The Texas Panhandle is supposed to see some 90 to 100 MPH straight winds.


Where I am we are supposed to see some 50 possibly 60 MPH straight winds.
 
I was thinking about it a day or two ago. I daily visit a couple of "Dish" weather channels (214 and 215) and get the low-down on US weather. What I haven't seen was any reference to the pending flooding that WILL surely result from all this precip.. Going to bet you we will have some devastating 100+ year flood estimates toppled this year. So sad. I don't know how the insurance companies are surviving as it is.
