We are getting some much needed moisture. Had rain during the night, sleet about day break, and now it is SNOWING hard!! I love it. Cows have their calves up and going. Sheep won't lamb for another month or so, puppies are safe and sound, and lots of food in the pantry. What more could a person ask for? Oh yea, the generator needs a battery, but I'll bet I can do that in the snow.

I would say we have every bit of a foot of snow. Wind must be blowing pretty good, as I can feel it down here. Spent all morning putting the Skidsteer back together, so I am ready to push snow when it quits.
 
We've got around 6 inches here heavy wet snow. Rained some around 11am then back to snow it just keeps pileing up here.Seams like every couple days we get some.
 
We ended up with every bit of 15 inches of snow. Talked to a neighbor 10 miles southwest of us, and she says 10 inches there. Kilgore has about what we do, so I think it is pretty wide spread. Last night before I went to bed, it sounded like it was raining. All the snow melting out of the trees. As wet as the snow is, and with the rain before it, I am guessing we ended up with better then an inch of moisture out of it. So far this year, we have more moisture then we had ALL of last year.

We probably got between four and five inches of snow out of this storm. It was a nice wet snow, and some even melted late in the day yesterday. Glad to get it. :-) This brings our total winter snow up to approximately 24" (two feet) or the equivalent of two inches of rain.
 
It's rained all night on and off here. Fields are soggy. It seems like a real good start to spring and much better than last year. I'm glad that you folks that need rain so bad are getting some moisture.
 
1&1/2 inches here last nite and the Peach Trees are in full bloom in the Texas Hill country.
A good sign maybe we will make a hay crop this year, me and ole cotton gittin fat and lazy.
