Rain, rain go away.
In the last 30 days my acreage has received 11" of rain. My tank went from stagnant to water running out the spillway. Today I used the weed eater to cut my grass because there is 3" of moving water in front and back yards. Water is pooled in places 5" deep. It is finding the path of least resistance, washing out my road, moving my caliche down my entry road. I am lucky enough to have several places that are at least 8" deep. There are red horse and shiner minnows following the current in my road and tadpoles in my back pasture. I have come to the conclusion there are more frogs than people in Callahan County. I am on a mission to catch and freeze the fat devils for catfishing. There is a silver lining.πΈππ βπ£

I canβt imagine that kind of rain. We had over a foot of snow 2 weeks ago, much needed. Low snow pack and hardly any spring rain. Now itβs in the 90s for couple days which is super hot for us this early.
All lakes around here are 'pool full'.
I did my rain dance yesterday but apparently the good Lord and my wife just laughed at me,,102Β° today !

Yep. We've had a couple of days of sunshine NE of Dallas. Looks like that is about to come to an end. Rain in the forecast for the next 10+ days.
I'm pretty sick of cleaning off muddy dog feet as they enter the house 1,000 times a day.

Just like Saw, WH, We have ZERO, snow is about gone from the high altitudes, runoff is about 10% of normal, guess it's feast or famine. Pics of the catfish please.....ππ I hope your issues abate soon.....
WH,
Please send some of that rain our way. Half the launch ramps at Lake Powell are out of the water.
