Rain today

[CHASZ51]

Nothing here but .50" last week. You must be 20" ahead of me already. I bet you get 50" more than i do this year.

Probably a pretty safe bet. We already have 21.43" of rain for 2022 so far. 11.15" of it in March alone.

About 6.5" here so far.

Well, March is rounding out the month with 1.60" more rain today.

Total accumulated rain for March, 2022 = 12.75 inches

Total for 2022, so far = 23.03 inches.

Had around 4.5" since last Eve. So that was really needed. The last three Apirls have been very wet and that is odd as this should be our driest month. So around 5.5" total for March. Another round maybe Sat eve.

We got 0.57" of rain on Saturday. Looks like more coming mid week.

[CHASZ51]

Got 2.30" Sat. So more rain in 2 days than i got since last Dec.

Maybe things have changed in the world such that you will be getting a more normal ration of rain each year?

When Connie and I first moved where we are living now, there was an extended drought situation, and all of the streams and rivers around here were nearly non-existent. Swamps were dry enough to walk through, which was kind of cool with all the cypress knees sticking out of the sand. Lakes and ponds were down to bathtub sized or gone completely, which had fish piled up in the center and easy pickings for cottonmouths and other predators.

So we go through cycles, apparently. Of course, the crazies will start claiming that the sky is falling, but the world is just like that. The universe is not in a static state that NEVER changes.

Just odd that the last 3 Aprils before this one we had way above normal rain but then very dry March's and May's. Not one drop of rain last March and around 6"+ this March. Plus already around 4" for this month so far.

We got 0.81" of rain today. Flood watch here through Wednesday night.

May is typically the driest month around here. Curious to see how it goes this year.
