What's the weather like at your place?

B mowed hay yesterday. In the evening a storm blew through leaving 0.2inch of rain. I thanked him for mowing hay because we did need the rain.

We are supposed to get rain for the next few days. I'm not holding my breath.
Over east and into SE MT they got 1.5 to 2.5". I'm glad for them.

B must have cut more hay than I thought. We are getting a nice drizzle of rain today. Puddles in the driveway.

Where is the fire? Still has the making for rain, but nary a drop. Wind has picked up and smoke blowing in from the west, maybe slightly north.

 

[pups and bucks]

Smoke here today.......spose to rain here tomorrow........

We barely got a sprinkle, a friend south of Baker sent a video of it pouring and it rained all last night at her place, not fair.

We had 0.2 night before last and 0.4 yesterday. And B about 80 acres of hay wet.

I have never seen such overcast and all the signs of a thunderstorm and no thunder, lightening, or rain. On my morning walk, I checked out a new digging for another new expensive home, where pasture once fed cattle, and down at 4 feet, nary a sign of any moisture. I made a big 3 mile loop and all the hay fields are baled and stacked. I think old man rain is offended because the ranchers have beat him for 3 cutting now.

The hay report is 1st cutting, 112 bales, 2nd 108, and 3rd 102. All are 1500 LB bales from 30 irrigated acres.

Overcast is a high ceiling and partly smoke. No stars or moon showing this morning. The dryness continues and prayers continue.

Yesterday I saw B and hired man working on the swather. It is now moved to places unknown. The baler was parked in front of his house. It is now gone. I see a tractor and the rake parked by a field cut a day before the rain. With all this hay equipment moving....... it is now raining once again. I don't know where B checks the weather. But he isn't using the same site I use.

Still not a drop here

After church we went to Albertsons for our weekly shopping. On our way into the store the Elkhorns were pretty black. I told the wife it would be raining by the time we got done getting groceries. I was right. It was raining pretty good when we left the store.

I guess it's raining on the Richland hwy too Sure wish we'd get some.

We've had1.8 inches in the last week which nearly doubles our rainfall for the year. Too late for the hay but things are greening back up. Grazing season has life again.

Where are you located? It doesn't say on your profile. I would expect hay would be very expensive where you are if you could even find it.

Based on the handle, Dos Arroyos (two dry creeks or gullies), with his posted temperatures and drought, I am guessing a bit west of the Hill Country in Texas.

Another day of idle threats of rain. It even has the smell of rain this morning, but an investigation of the weather map shows any possibility of rain going around here.

With fair and rodeo time coming this week, I see the possibility of a few gully washers. Nothing like deep mud and a good spectator soaking to test the contestants resolve and the fans dedication.

I know it is wrong and a selfish motive, but several days of rain over this month would save me $300 in water bills. I should turn off my sprinklers and save $$$ but then the lawn dies and the goatheads win.

Yep, it looks like big rain, but west of you in the Baker Valley and the Blues and it goes way up into Washington. It misses my area also.
