How wet is it in your area?

Here in NC we went from a severe drought for about 3 years to mud everywhere. We got another 3 inches of rain Sunday night and we are supposed to get more this weekend. The weathermen don't know if it will be frozen, but apparently they are expecting a lot of precipitation.

Down here around Midland the ground is just plain sloppy wet. I don"t think anything else that comes down will even begin to sink in so anymore is bound to cause more flooding. As usual I"m not looking forard to the expected bad weather this weekend as the "locals" around here go crazy at even the mention of snow......

We have puddles of standing water everywhere around here in Central Ohio.

Here in South Eastern Ohio (Meigs County), the Ohio river is near or above flood stage with backwater in fields & some roads closed. Ground is saturated with snow on the way for this week end.

Well it's around zero temp, so 'wet' isn't the word for us, but we've had 40 inches of snow and 2 inches of rain this winter in southern MN, fall was pretty damp with endless small rains to soak up the ground before it froze.

Depends how it thaws, if the tundra thaws out & all this snow is to melt into the ground, or if the snow melts and runs off the ice first, and then the ground thaws?

April rains is always what tells the story 'here'.

But we are quite frozen and ample moisture for sure!

Yea, I'm in washington county. We've had about 3-4 years of drought summers and rather dry winters. Here in January we've had 3" of precipitation. With near single digits for almost 2 weeks, then rain and 50*, it made for fun feeding cows. Maybe its just making up for the last dry summers.

We are plenty wet in NW Iowa. It's not liquid yet and the 'puddles' are white and up to nine feet tall, but when the thaw comes our rivers and streams will be busy. Jim

It's about as muddy as it can get here in west KY. Ground has not been dusty here since the second week of September and then there was moisture down 5". Ruts every one cut with combines this year are all standing full of water. Old spring on our farm that has not run in 20 years has a steady stream running down the hill now. I have some fence'n I need to get done this winter but the ground has been too wet or froze too hard since November.

Hard to tell rain gauge is full to the top with snow. Ended NE ILL in 09 about 12 inches above normal.

KYfarm · Jan 28, 2010

muddy, muddy and more mud here in north central KY and more
rain comin' this weekend. Can't really remember last sunny day or
week without rain. Everywhere that the cows go or tractor goes is
really getting torn up. Rain all over the 10-day forecast

rrlund · Jan 28, 2010

We were unbelievably wet from September 08 through November 09,but we haven't had much snow this winter. Went about 2 weeks this month with no precip at all. I think the moisture is probably percolating away pretty good under the frost.

Ole Shovel · Jan 28, 2010

Was very dry again less than 1 1/2" since October. 1/4" of ice on stuff and 3 to 4" of blowing thunder snow now in NW TX could get 12" or more they say. Drought what is that ? It"s a way of life here seems like since 1990s and last 10 years as well here off and on. You have how many total crop failures there in last 10 years?

It is 11* here in Central Michigan , so not very wet here. In fact I seen a farmer out getting the last of his corn out of the field yesterday.
