It rained pretty hard last night and early this morning. After months of no rain in the last 2 1/2 weeks we have had 3 inches, maybe more. In 17 days it has rained on 6 of them. I don't know how much fell this time but the driveway looks like it was significant. I took the rain gauge down on Saturday. The last two years I forgot and left it up. It had water in it and then froze breaking the tube. So between now and about April I will have to guess at how much falls.

Isn't rain just the best thing? As dry as it's been it makes my feel all shiny. Happy for you guys. Hope Nicky gets some too

No snow yet, will be where Mike and his friend from Pa. will be spike hunting today. Got about a tenth overnight. Had .25 on saturday. Things are greening up, sure helps keep the cows happy on the rangeground!!
Here at the house I am at 2,700 feet. No snow here. The top of the hill out back is 4,700. Darn sure snow there and quite a ways down the hill. The closest thing I could find to Nicky's place listed at 3,396. So she is about 700 feet high than we are here. I took this picture this morning while out feeding calves.

Lower Mainland of B.C. got ten inches over the weekend. Couple of towns in the south central completely flooded. Thousands of animals died. Real mess. All highways leading north or east are washed out.

It looks like a mess alright. Prayers for those involved.

Would that be wildlife or livestock, or both? So very sad.

That is both, 40 dairies flooded right out;
I saw video from Sumas Washington. Just across the border. There has to be some dead dairy cows there too. That part of the world is a mess right now.
We had a flood like that in the Chehalis valley in 2007. Out of 300 acres I had about 1 acre that was high and dry. The cows got their feet washed that day.
