Inch and a half of rain in the rain gauge. Now it is snowing a wet, heavy snow that is sticking to the ground already!

This is supposed to last til 6 pm Wednesday evening in our area.
It is 33 degrees outside.

Grass is gonna get green!!!! WOO HOO!!

Oops! I forgot...the wind!!! How could I forget that? 18 mph at present
with gusts...

I am Soooooooooooooo HAPPY for you. The country looks so much better when it's GREEN. Need a photo contest on How Green IS IT.

But we could beat them if we could photograph wind... :wink:

W.O Mitchell wrote the book Who has seen the Wind. I have not read it but could sure do a book report. :cowboy:

Oh haymaker would have us all beat ain't anyone that windy.
 
As of 6:30 am we have 4/10ths. Cold and windy about 35 degrees.

3 Hfrs calved in the night and one born Saturday came off the straw pack and layed down in the mud by the gate and was dead this morning. It had spent the day up on the straw so I don't know what it was doing where it was.
 
7 am Mountain time, we had .48 inches, but I think some of it might have missed the rain gauge as it was pretty horizontal with 35 to 40 mph winds and they are calling for the same today with gusts up to 60 mph. Supposed to snow today and tonight and tommrow and then taper off tomorrow evening, but the wind is still going to blow. I just love SD. :wink:
 
Well it's 9:53Am here in the sunny South.....it's already 78 degrees and the pollen is so thick on the porch I'll need a shovel instead of a broom to clean it off!!!

We're to get to about 86 or so.......LOVE IT!!
 
We ended up with about an inch- 1.5 at the north place...And now the wind is supposed to blow and dry things out- temp is 41....Hopefully I can hold off feeding until afternoon and its dried up a little on top as this gumbo is pretty sticky and slippery....

They have blizzard warnings out for east of us and on over into ND :roll: ......
 
Jinglebob, you know what they say about the weather keeping the riff-raff out! :wink:

We have the potential for 14" of snow by Wednesday night and high
winds. Oh, good! :mad:

Everything is really soggy around here. Including the calves...
doesn't look like much of a break for 36 more hours either.


When this gumbo gets wet, it can really slow you down!!
 
.30" rain here overnight about 20 miles downwind from JB. Temp is hanging around 38 degrees. No new babies here last night. I suppose they are waiting for the storm to cut loose! :wink:
 
We had about an 1" of moisture out of this storm, all rain here. You guys east and south it sounds like are going to get the brunt of it. Hope you keep most of your calves alive. Gonna be grass in this country this year!!
 
hope this storm system has finished with us!! "Snain" fell most of the day and the night before with the mountains getting a nice covering of the white stuff!! Made things hard on the new babies and the hubby has been busy doctoring the last few days!! Got a few patches of blue above us, but still plenty of cloud cover...weather forecast says it should clear outta here today and "move on"...the grass sure is greening up and the moisture will be nice come the hot summer months, but it is also slowing down the starting of the haying season! Oh well....guess ya gotta have the bad to appreciate the good!! :D :D :D
BTW....the temp outside right now is 37 and we have a "breeze" from the north!!
 
30 minutes south of San Antonio and we are breaking the record today we are supposed to hit 100
hot and dry maybe a couple showers this week
 
It's starting to rain and snow here now. The guys are out gathering up the cows that haven't calved yet and the fresh ones. Since we're lambing fast and furious, the sheep are already in the lot and we'll shed them if it gets nasty, which, according to the weatherman, could easily happen.

Hubby planted some triticale for hay yesterday. We're grateful for the moisture on that and on the grass that has started to green up. Been praying for this for a long time. Now if we can just keep everything alive to enjoy it later.
