RAIN

[Brute 23]

We got around 3-3.5" across all the places. :banana: The oats is trying to make a come back.

 

[Limomike]

We are wondering how to measure the mist volume.

 

[slick4591]

Looks like our rain has ended with a total of 3.97".

 

[dun]

Rained all night and we got a hlaf of a tenth of an inch

 

[Caustic Burno]

I have poured out 6 1/2 inches so far and we have rain in the forecast for the next four day's.

Probably got around 4.5 inches over 48 hours, a nice slow rain, plenty of runoff into the tanks. We got 3/10ths a few days ago over 36 hours and 8/10ths at the end of December....a couple months late but here no less. Should be a good Spring if this keeps up.

LOL....almost have to believe them now

 

[Isomade]

Gotten 3 inches in the last 10 days. It will keep me from putting the cows on rural water.

 

[Brute 23]

That was the only down side here. We had very little run off. It accumulated in low spots but it didn't do any thing to help the tanks. Not that Im complaining

Our rain is a little hard ;-) And we're not even in a drought area, so really could have done without this- but as Dad used to say- never beech when you get moisture...

They just updated much of our area to a Blizzard Warning... Heads up NE MT and ND...

Snow still coming (probably about 6-8 on level now) but the winds have really picked up and now drifting bad.... I just came in from finishing the chores and it is flat nasty out... Blowing about 30mph gusting to over 40- temp is 5 degrees and they say windchill is around 20 Below...

Just heard the state weatherman say that this stuff should start moving east now- but might not be out of Montana til Saturday- with the 20 Below temps following it in... Predicting temps of 15 Below (windchills of -35) for tonight...

I talked to a couple folks right up along the Canuck border - and it sounds as tho they are getting much worse than I am...A couple of them said this was the worst blizzard they had seen in quite a few years...

Heres a picture of the Scobey MT Nemont office (telephone company)... The drift in front of the building is 9 feet high...

Raining here now--pond's already full to capacity from the last week of rain.
The Lord's pretty good at sending us the amt we need logistically, but I think I'm gonna ask him to tweak his scheduling part of it a little.

 

[papavillars]

I say amen to that

 

[cypressfarms]

I'm really happy for all the texas cattlemen/women out there. They've suffered so many years with droughts, they are way over due. Not to downplay the droughts in the other states; I'm happy for all.

Another reason I'm happy is that the hay prices will drop, and the cattle prices will rise for the spring if this keeps up :banana:

Freezing rain here, shades of the ice storm of 07

We have snow in the forecast for tuesday that is BS in my book.

I will not repeat will not be hunting tuesday.

 

[JSCATTLE]

We don't need snow . It's wet and muddy enough .

 

[greybeard]

CB-don't you go talkin that snow crap now.

 

[dun]

Ice isn;t as bad as I feared. Everything just has a uniform 1/4 inch of it coating everything.

 

[dun]

Going out this morning the wanie dog it the top step and missed the next 4. But coming in her feet must have run enough to cover 50 steps to get to the top.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Dun - you were out of commission for quite a while with that last storm. Glad it wasn't like that.
