ANOTHER DRY YEAR?

[Tap]

I feel your pain. The next front is now moving east through the northern Great Plains, but at this point looks like it's going to travel just north of Tennessee. Hopefully you will get some moisture out of the southern end of it.

The forecast I'm seeing is calling for another ~inch or so for W PA Friday into Saturday.

The handy dandy climate monitor for my Kentucky place says I got about a half inch up there. In Louisiana, it's looking like we may go 7 days without rain. I forgot what it was like to water my garden.

We got .3” yesterday and supposed to get 1” tomorrow. That’s likely to interfere with my corn/bean planting plans for the weekend....which is OK given how dry it has been. With 85 day corn, I still have a lil time.

If I don’t get rain soon I’ll lose my corn. Drought suuuuuuucks.

Our camp got about 0.25" yesterday. The flow rate of the local creek didn't change at all. Looking forward to 1"+ tomorrow.

I received just under ½” last night with a little more on the way.

Another two inches last night. Right at 15 inches for the month of May. We are supposed to average about 50” per year and are at 40” for the year now. Had almost 100” last year. Been like this for the last six years.

I got the same 2” here. Last year you must have turned off the faucet for me at the end of May though because it didn’t rain a drop till the first of September. Please leave it on this year. I need to fill the barns back up with hay.

lot of guys around here have lost first cutting. Relentless downpours have beat grass into the mud and never stood back up

Eastern Colorado got around 7" of rain the entirety of 2020. This is a pic from a day ago. 6" of rain in month of May this year which is almost unheard of. Timing should be great for antler growth. Its gone from really dusty to relatively lush for the plains.

 

[Bowhunter]

We got a little bit of relief here yesterday and last evening. Still dry for the end of May though.

Texas been stealing all y’all’s rain guys. Record month here. Yard is knee high. We are getting a little reprieve for Memorial Day weekend but it’s supposed to start right back up again.

Have a expensive trail camera that’s offline that I can’t get to because it’s so dang muddy. Need to go check it and see what’s wrong.

The rain switch hasnt been switched off in July the past six summers like it used to, and the heat switch hasnt been switched on. I dont think we hit 100 degrees a single time last year, and we had almost 30 inches of rain in Aug and Sep alone. I dont like heat - but we really need to dry out. I have some bottomland oaks dying because their roots have been living in water the last six years. The lake I live on requires some work on the dam and they need to lower the lake three feet for a period of one month to do it. Havent been able to hold the water down - even in August - for that one month needed in the past five years. I have a duck slough that dried up every year for the first ten years I owned it. Could spray weeds, burn, plant with a planter - whatever. It has maintained a population of fish the last six years. Next door neighbor row crops 600 acres - been able to plant twice in last six years and had one of those crops flooded. He has been planting that field since the mid 90’s and never missed a crop up until 2015 - and been all down hill since then.

52 degrees and 15 mph wind this morning on Memorial weekend in SW AR? You have got to be kidding me. I dont like heat and dry, but that is exactly what we need here

We had just a hair under 1”. It is close enough to call it an inch. There is more predicted in the way.

Our weather broke a few days ago and there isn’t an end in sight. I hope the weather and my work schedule aligns to get the rest of my buckwheat plots in.

 

[Elkaddict]

I’m going to have to burn some vacation to get my corn/beans in.... We are over 2” the last couple days with more coming. I hate turning damp ground and dealing with compaction. First world problems for sure.

Some has blown over here, which will make it harder to cut but we need a week of dry weather to be able to get it baled properly. We have rain in the forecast again this week so it’s not going to happen anytime soon.

We didn’t get nearly what they said we were going to get this weekend but I’ll take anything. We received 1/2” maybe a little more from Friday to this morning.

Just missed it. I got 2.75”. Of course 1.75 of that came down all at once and didn’t really help anything
