Last night was unseasonably warm, and we had severe thunderstorms and heavy rain all throughout the night. Even had a tornado touchdown nearby. Today the temps have been dropping steadily, and the snow has just started to fall.
Weatherman called for 10cm/4" today. So far there is just about 18cm/7" and no end as they call for another 15cm/6" tonight. Remember the picnic table from two weeks ago?
Two weeks later, God/Allah/Buddah says, "Mission Completed"....
The top of my adonis-like 5'6" frame comes up to about the red line.
This is the official weather. Everyone in my little valley has had more than 26mm rain.
This photo was taken at a neighbors looking across the valley to another neighbor.
This side of the valley has had over 190mm this year and the other side has had 33mm. This side will be trucking in cows tomorrow
On my small (2ha) lot I have had 117mm but the ground is still too dry to be of any use for any purpose except to show why all the farmers had de-stocked. With holes like this stock would break legs.
