[QUOTE="Allen, post: 208220, member: 389"] Depends on what you want the moisture to do. If you need soil moisture, gentle April rains are the best. If you need runoff to fill reservoirs/ponds/dugouts, I'll take the snow. The soils have been dry as heck since last fall, but the cold temps have pushed down to 60 inches in some places despite the relatively warm winter. This suggests they are bone dry (and without a good cover of insulating snow). What happens then when you get some liquid water on the ground is that the water soaks a little ways into the soil before it freezes. This forms what I sometimes call the hard candy coating on the ground surface, which makes the ground much less permeable. [/QUOTE]
