Rain totals?

[Bauer]

4.2 at Garrison as of this morning.

This size event, and not one of our rivers and creeks has become a problem child? Well, yet anyway. That is just amazing. I don't know that I can remember a near state-wide storm with rainfall totals this high in my lifetime. Truly, a billion dollar rain.

Thanks again for all the helpful information!

Afternoon of Thursday 5/16 Painted Wood Creek was full at Hwy 83 but still below the bank.

I'm showing 4" in Dickinson since it started on Tuesday and it's still raining lightly. Very little to no runoff that I could see on my way to and from work except for hard packed areas like roads, lots, etc.

Unofficially around 5” in Riverdale thus far. Some minor runoff but I agree with the amounts Youd think a lot more would run off. Shows how dry we were and it came down slow enough to soak in well. Much needed right before birds start nesting.

Anyone want to step into my garden that is tilled 8 inches deep to cover my plants??

It must have came down at the perfect rate to soak in and not over saturated the soil and runoff those are my non scientific hydrological terms.

You would be on the right track.

Almost 2 inches here in Berthold now. Bleugh. Yards are flooding, dirt roads are shit. Fun

Anyone from the Freda, Raleigh, St. Gertrude, and Shields area that can give some insight on how the small creeks are doing?

We are supposed to pour concrete for powers poles in the fields around st Gertrude next Tuesday. Don’t think it will happen but I will report when we do

She'll all be over long before then. I'm just curious if the Cannonball at Breien is going to reach Minor Flood Stage. It's the one and only spot that looks to have a fair shot at it.

Well, the creeks should be pretty much done, but moving equipment around off of gravel or asphalt may be interesting.

Aren’t you the water guy? Shouldn’t you be telling us what is happening?

Just because it stops raining it doesn't mean on can go back to work right away, it could take days or even a week or more to dry up enough to get anywhere near the site

With the rain next monday and tuesday getting trucks out in the pastures is going to be a nightmare the gravel roads over there are not very good either.

This one is going to be close, so the more observations I get on it, the better my interpretation.

nothing Allen doesn't know but for some of you....

The bad news is that's also the area with some of the higher chances for another inch, or so, starting on Sunday. Just to help keep the dust settled. The path of that system has wobbled a bit in the models over the past few days. One run brings it farther north, then the next keeps it mostly in SD. Today's runs mostly keep it below I-94, but that's still not good news for you all pouring concrete in that area.

I like ducks more than concrete so I’m ok with it haha.
