I mowed yesterday for the first time in 5 weeks, just to knock down the patches of weeds that were able to sprout up. Scenes straight out of 1930s dust bowl. Had to stop to put on a dust mask and glasses to help keep it out of my eyes. When I was done I was covered head to toe in crusted dust as it mixed with sweat. Miserable.
Good to see we are now entering a "dry" period.
Huge storm headed right for me. Hard right turn and passed just south. Scraped by the edge as it roared by. Another .10".
.13" total. What a day. 3 for 3. Unreal.
Got luck today. Series of developing storms tracked directly over me. By far, best rain I've seen all year. By a mile. Pushing 1" of desperately needed rain.
Cell split and went right around me. Pity sprinkle while thunder and downpours pass a few hundred yards to my east and west. No doubt they will merge again once safely north of me.
It's simply amazing how little weather we get here. By far, the most severe weather we get is the wind behind cold fronts...on sunny, dry days. Easily the most boring weather of any part of this country.
Picked up about .4" total for yesterday, from our typical drizzlefest. Plus whatever we got from the storm Wednesday afternoon....probably another .4 - .5". Badly needed rain.
