Rain today - Page 93

Just a very light mist of drizzle today, amounting to a measly 0.03".

Total accumulated rain for February, 2022 = 3.34 inches

Total for 2022, so far = 10.28 inches.

Sure SEEMS like a lot less than that!

Not even 3" yet and i see nothing for weeks.

We might get some rain next week, but the forecast percentages are kind of low. Perhaps the dry season is starting early this year.

Be ready for fires.

Yeah, there was some sort of Red Fag Warning for smoke today. You would think people would be smart enough to realize that with dry weather and high winds, it is just NOT a good idea to be burning stuff out in the yard. That includes the national forest people who typically do (un)controlled burns this time of year. They must look for especially low IQ people for that department.

In the past we have fires so close that burning embers were falling in our yard. And once we had a fire truck drive by while we were outside in the yard and they stopped to ask us if we knew where the fire was located.

I am NOT kidding! I told them no, but if you follow the smoke, that might help.

At midnight for 03-10-2022 we had gotten 4.06 inches of rain. Still coming down with 0.15" AFTER midnight with no break in sight.

We put down 120 lbs of fertilizer on the fruit trees Monday, so I hope it doesn't just get washed away.

Had .40" Wends and .50" so far today. You will be 30" ahead of me by next fall.

We wound up getting 0.45" of rain on Thursday.

Forecast is calling for 3 to 4 more inches of rain for Friday and Friday night. I can see it coming from the southwest Gulf of Mexico on the radar.

They are still calling for a low of 28 degrees Saturday night. Man I hope they are WAY wrong and it is warmer than that. Got a lot of fruit trees putting out new growth and flower buds. We may have to cover our navel orange tree as that one has a ridiculous number of flower buds on it right now. Sure would hate to have them all frozen off. That means I have to put posts in the ground to hang the big tarp off of over that tree.

Had 1.60 total so far this month. Been flooding 80 miles north of me all day and nothing today.

We got 1.01" of rain here today (Friday). More coming down now and more on the way overnight with a flood watch and gale warnings. Temps are supposed to be dropping down to 26 degrees for Saturday night...

Planning on putting some bamboo stakes in the ground and covering the navel orange tree, along with Connie's pineapple plants. Probably going to be some unhappy looking plants come Sunday. Just hope the winds don't blow off the tarps.
