If I were a farmer relying on rainfall, I’d be close to jumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpiemaniac Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Here’s the storm total accumulation map for the last 27+ hours. (You can see my location on the dot under “home”.) In all my years on this planet, I don’t think I have ever witnessed inches of rain fall all around me over an entire day while I received 0.00”. Zero. Nada. Blanked. Zilch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 The last few days alot of strange moisture fell from the sky. Now the brown spikey stuff on the ground has gotten softer and turned green. I wonder if there is a connection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
