Rain

[luvcatchingbass]

Dumped .75in out the other day after the last batch. She was a damp working outside up by Crookston today, not enough to stop but enough to piss make the sweatshirt a little damp

It's pretty soggy here. Gravel roads are a mess. What area do you have to move the camper to?

More than Bismarck I bet.

MT looks to be getting a decent rain out of this. Maybe a touch more runoff for the big lake?

Looks like some good rain in Canada they need it really bad. Hopefully get the may pond count up and stop the down turn in the mallard population

I'm just south of the border It's been raining hard for 8 hours, wind is so strong that the gauges haven't caught much , a lot on the ground but only 1/4 " in the gauge.

Turn the rain gauge sideways?

As dry as the soils are/were, those had better be thunderstorms with high rainfall rates, otherwise it's all going into the ground. Farmers should be LOVING this past couple of weeks.

Sure they like it but I bet most would like about a weeks break, so they could get into the field for prep work or no-till. Farmer did get 2 fields seeded by my place.

Looks like some solid totals from the last 24 hours between Miles City and Wolf Point, and it looks like it will rain pretty much all day today as well. Probably won't do much for lake levels but can't hurt! Hopefully more timely rains throughout May and June.

Dammit I forgot I'm old enough for a rain gage. I better get to work.

1.5 of rain here in Mint so far.

Got a picture from a coworker in Bottineau....the ground is turning white.

Not in fargon ---- i just switched my sump to the street.


Plus i dont see one gate closed on drains from the farmers fields. Nobody is trying to retain.

Got 1.75 in my rain gauge since Sunday night, SW of Fargo 40mi

 

[Kurtr]

we got some looks to be better north of here. Breeding conditions should be pretty good this year for the waterfowl and even should have good bugs when the upland birds hatch

 

[Jiffy]

The "city" hatches of the local Canada geese appear to be shitty this year. Many breeding pairs without goslings and most only have 3-4. They'll usually at least try another nest but I haven't seen that this year either. I found it strange as the environment/weather has been fairly "average" this year.

Just an observation from an uneducated and purely recreational ornithologist.

 

[LBrandt]

Got water standing in my garden where its never happened before. LB

 

[Lycanthrope]

only about .5 in bismarck so far from what I can see without going outside and getting wet looking closer at my gauges... Id like to get a little more!
