Tues am "Sherman marched thru Atlanta" just bef. 5:30am w/booming cannon & lighting effects, not to mention rain, but wailing winds abated. Actually had rain starting about 3am, but not that heavy. By 6:40am gauge had .59" & it was misting/drizzling. Needless to say, no signs of sun. Temp 61º, NW breezes, Humidity 95% & AP just under 30". Limited visibility due to mist/fog. Of course, we are working the weanlings to send the steers to market tonight - at the best, it will be very muddy work!

Fri am 44º still raining, but not as hard as over pm & Thunder & Lightening is gone. breezes N under 10mph, Humidity @ 99% & AP @ 29.93". Needless to say, everything is waterlogged - if not under water.
Thurs Temps = 63/52º just after finished reporting yesterday, a strong rain started, lasting about 10min. w/light Thunder until moderating into gentle rain. Think it will be an interested day - esp. since I have to drive to town (about 26mi. for ranch spls.). Rains never stopped, but @ times came in heavy squalls & visibility decreased drastically. Thunder & Lightening started in latter part of afternoon & continued into night, @ times quite heavy, knocking out electric & shaking "Tornado-proof" house. Roads flooded as by 11am drainage ditches overflowing. Our dry weather creek is a "raging river" & adding copious quantities of water to Spring River. By 9pm varying winds became N & in mid-teens gusting to low-mid 20mph. Several road closed due to Spring River, creeks, etc. flooding. Heard report that a rancher who went out to check on his cattle was struck & killed by lightening along w/1 of his cows. By 3:15pm had 2.41" in gauge. 1st time since last Winter had to light fireplace, due to dampness coupled w/chilly Temps.

They are everywhere & getting into everything - grain, hay bales, house, etc. It is the "invasion of the caterpillars".

Wed Temps = 63/48º sunny w/few clouds until late evening when clouds started taking over. Strong & gusting SE winds getting progressively stronger thru out day - bad enough to interrupt evening's digital TV reception. When stood in area protected fr winds, it was actually Spring-like.

Sun. 8:30am 59º, SW gusty breezes fr. mid-teens to low 20mph (not as strong as Sat.), Humidity 80% & AP 30.11" - another sunny, windy day in the offing & much appreciated.
Sat. Temps = 78/54º sunny & dangerous whipping/gusting winds all day (esp. when having to cut down a large tree that can take out your fencing - incl. the electric fencing - & fall across a "main" road). More like Spring than early Winter - grass (& weeds) starting to really grow again. Humidity low in 30-40% range & AP just under 30".

Sun. Temps = 71/48º mixed clouds/sun, S & SW gusting winds fr. 17mph, Humidity in 50% range, AP in 30." range. Periods of mostly clouds w/strong winds made it feel much colder than it actually was - but, after all it is "winter". Run-offs still have water in them from last series of rains.

Wed Temps = 63/41º NE &EN breezes, AP ranging fr. 30.35" to 30.22", Humidity decreasing to the mid-50's%. Mostly sunny once grey sky cleared - but sky grey/blue all day (a funny coloring for a non-storm day & trees still w/leaves did not have that pre-storm look). When taking the Amish home about 10pm hit spats of Fog ranging from just over the top of the car to totally obliterating the road - & this not only in low areas. Area around river & creeks did not necessarily have Fog. Starting AI'g process last night - no Precip.!!! - that's only the 4th time in over 7 yrs that we've worked cattle & it was dry.

Yes, definitely, even walking on the land you tend to go vertical. Precip. over by 8pm. Working cattle was "fun" - deep sucking mud, sky completely black & sucking up the barn lights so "you couldn't see your hand in front of your face", etc. Next working period - Saturday.

Thurs 6:45am gauge emptied @ .21"giving a total of 1.19" so far for this 3-day Storm system. Feels funny on Xmas eve morning to be able to go out in "shirt sleeves" - that's how virtually nil the NE breezes are & how warm, 51º. Totally overcast & no signs of a sunrise. Temps forecasted to fall steadily thru day as still under Winter Storm Watch thru Friday as rain supposed to change to snow later today. H = 94% & AP 29.63".
Wed Temps = 56/50º varying S winds in low-mid 20mph, AP 29.74" & H stayed in the 90% range. Right after filed yest's report, rains became quite a bit heavier. At 5pm emptied gauge @ .75".

Emptied gauge & finally got frozen rain/sleet melted (after getting snow out) = .61". Can only assume 4" Snow measurement is accurate. It equaled .04" water. Well, the kids will have their White Xmas.
Thurs Temps = 18/54º fell steadily during day, then Sleet & Snow moved in. Nasty, gusting winds fr NE to NW, Precip. to some degree all day long. By nightfall winds were howling & the sound of Sleet was loud, some minor Thunder in the distance. By 5:30pm everything started to Ice up as Sleet was mixing w/Snow.

Light Snow flurries in am hours (.16") blown quickly off walkways. Driving was hazardous in the evening as 97 was very icy & winds battered vehicles, but not complaining as we didn't get the "Blizzard" that so many other got.

Snow/Ice pretty much gone after yesterday's light rains. Gauge read .05" Precip, Snow core = .03" (but much wetter than yest. due to rains), some light Snow in am.

Never saw the sun. Fog started really moving in about 3pm. By dark, coupled w/light-med. rains & misty drizzle, it almost obliterated the roads. The type of night to roast marshmallows by the cozy fire & tell ghost stories. Fog so thick in spots that almost missed my driveway (thankfully, know the exact mileages from various points so could know when reaching side roads, etc.).

About 8:10pm the Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory thru Sunday @ noon CST. However, something (icy sleet?) started to fall shortly before 8pm - it could be felt in the air, but nothing visible, except on vehicles where it looked like dampness on a hot car. By 10pm everything was turning white w/a light, dry Snow - the weather reports to the West of us said the Snow wouldn't be here for at least 1 hr! Think they need a window in their work area.

Tho a beautiful & strong sun yest., the extremely cold kept Snow from melting completely, leaving us w/a fraction over 1" Snow melting to .03" water.

Wind Chill Advisories being issued & calls for getting not only pets, but livestock into shelter. Funny, don't hear any offers from PETA (& like organizations) to help shelter livestock - i.e. cattle, horses, sheep, goats, birds. Guess they really know that those involved w/livestock have already taken the steps necessary to protect their livestock (before Winter set in). Also, that we have wildlife habitates on our land, year-round.

NOTE: Due to heavy blowing of Snow, ques. accuracy of Core & Precip. measurements.
Thurs Temps = 20/1º, @ about 8am had a spat of light freezing rain/or wet snow - hard to tell which due to gusting winds which varied from W to NW in the 20-25mph range, blowing snow created minor white-outs as snow traveled East, AP as hi as 30.40" & H in 60's.

Tho dangerous, "Ice Fog" on trees is esp. beautiful. At 6am it was a total white-out (white on white - ground, sky, everything). The only darker "white" (grayish) was vehicle, trees & livestock as it lightened up. A very eerie feeling.
Sat. Temps = 28/11º, H in the 60% range & AP in th 30.1-" range. Sun so strong that it melted an awful lot of the very dry Snow & reduced some of the "Snow Dunes" drastically (some were as high as 2', now only 12"-18" high).

Sun. Temps = 33/6º, very mild S & SW breezes, H fell into mid-50's & AP in hi 30.2-" range. A nice, very warm sun, coupled w/mild breezes, melted a lot more of the sun creating some muddy spots & softening the top layer of the soil. The Ice Fog didn't melt off the trees until afternoon as the Ice Fog came in shortly after 3am & didn't dissipate until after 10am. The effect on tree limbs is fastasticly beautiful.

Still under Winter Weather Advisory, tho other than "invisible" rain/sleet & wet Mist yest., Snow hasn't started here yet. Just spots of Snow left - the remains of the "Snow Dunes".
Thurs Temps = 37/32º, ES & SE winds varying to mid-teens mph, H varying from 50% to 100%, AP falling into 29.--" range. Wet Mist/Drizzle/Sleet all day, but particles so small as to be invisible. Just a dank, wet day where water seems to be coming up from the ground as the upper levels of soil defrost.

Fri Temps = 35/30º, mild NW breezes - just a nasty, penetrating, dank day - too warm, yet too chilly. By 9:30am big, wet flakes falling (more like NY type Snow) @ a relitively fast pace, covering the rain-wetted walkways & grass. Stopped by 11am & disappeared. Just after noon, light "somethings" (particles so small couldn't see what they were) started to fall - sporadically. About 5:30pm Rain then Snow flurries (again, very small), then nothing by 10pm.

We have had so many false "alarms" about storms hitting us this Winter that I'm afraid we are approaching the "Boy who cried 'Wolf'" syndrome.
Mon Temps = 34/18º, Snow/Sleet/Rain very light all day w/o much accum. as too warm for Snow to stay (it was a wet Snow), H in the 80's & AP in the 29.--" range, SE breezes changed to N & NW in late afternoon increasing in speeds to hi teens & low 20's mph w/howling gusts into & thru night.

Tues Temps = 28/8º, H in 50-60% range, AP 30.12". Strong, gusty WN & N icy winds in mid-20 mph & gusting much higher. Snow flurries all day, but Snow particles extremely small & no accum. (didn't even have to turn on wipers). Guess one would have to say we had a Trace of Snow.

What a day, trying to get cows w/newborn calves in for tagging, tattooing & moving to different pasture - ground split between frozen & deep mud, not to mention broken up due to tractor (when giving hay) & cows' feet digging into ground.

Please note that we have had Snow flurries every day for at least a week;, mostly, however, it has been negligible.

Needless to say, everything iced over & well out again - just what one needs w/over 80 head of cattle & cows calving. At least if we had a quantity of Snow on the ground, they would be guaranteed a little to drink.
Mon Temps = 29/15º, NW gusting winds from mid 20mph, H fell into low 50% range & AP in low 30.--". Never saw the sun for the Snow flurries. Well went out in late afternoon & was able to get it back up. Just what one needs when ponds frozen.

What's better yet is that it was a beautiful, uneventful day for weaning & everything went smoothly - except for the 1 calf that likes to face backwards when going thru the chute, but even that was uneventful as he turned when guided. This was only the 4th time in almost 10 years we worked cattle & the weather didn't "act up".

You walk on what looks & feels dry to the touch, but underneath is wet, which you find out as your feet sink down - don't ask about vehicles, it's a "no brainer".

Sun. Temps = 48/39º, never saw a hint of sun, misty all day after Fog lifted, light drizzle, H in 80's & 90's, AP in hi 29.9-'s. The mud is really deep - know as stepped outside one of the barns & sunk down almost 19" - both feet. Need some real drying out time - & fast. Even the cows are having a hard time & the newborn calves aren't too active once they get "stuck".

Just not too nice a day, esp. w/the increasing mud, muck & mire. This weather doesn't bode well for this weekend when working cattle (was hoping it would be the 5th time in almost 10 yrs that the weather cooperated & didn't rain, snow....), & it is the beginning of Spring.

Mon Temps = 52/30º, varying W winds mostly in single digits, strong sun (melting was quick & so was flooding of fields & run-offs), H in 40's & 50's, AP 29.-- from low 30.'s. Several of youngest calves had to be helped out of the mud as they stopped running in the worst of it & couldn't get out. We must spoil our cows as they just bellowed for us to come & "save" their babies instead of pushing them out.

"Landscaping" crew on duty "mowing, watering, edging, fertilizing" lawn - silly to use a mower when the livestock need grass & the Lawn came in best so far & needs mowing. The Pear Tree seems to have overcome the frosts & maybe we'll have some of those delicious pears this year (haven't had any in 3 yrs). Maybe the cherries, plums & mulberries will also return.

Another .02" rain fell after emptied gauge & before the next round of T-storms w/Tornado warnings came in evening thru night. About 9pm winds got really ugly as T-storms (without a lot of rain) moved in w/Tornado watches & warnings. This was a little nerve-wracking as they were mentioning our roads/towns as in the direct path of anything that actually formed.

Thurs 6:45am 58º, ES & SE whipping/gusting winds from low teens to hi teens, sun breaking thru clouds & making a lovely balmy morning (as long as one doesn't walk out without muck boots), H=98%, DP 57º, 29.75". Gauge emptied = 1.56" (includes yesterday thru earlier this am). Last night the T-storms were violently fierce - sky was bright w/lightening hitting all around the Homestead, rain fell like it couldn't get here fast enough, winds whipping - now to wait for the ponds (old & newly formed w/these rains) to subside somewhat so can check the rest of the livestock & see if any more trees were damaged or killed. Warnings newly issued or ongoing: Flood Warning until 1pm, Flash Flood thru Fri. afternoon. More T-storms expected this afternoon thru tonight.
Wed Temps = 64/52º, by 9am the sun quickly faded behind the clouds & rain took over, continuing throughout the day w/very few breaks. T-storms moved in during afternoon thru night. By 6pm had .39" in gauge. Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Watch for both Lawrence Cty (us in upper NW sector) & Dade Cty (less than 3 mi No. of us) from 7pm til Fri afternoon. Plus, for Dade, a Flood Advisory until 9pm & Flood Warning until 11am Thurs. A "great" night & couple of days in the making, esp. since the previous waters haven't subsided yet. Animals nervous - even the puppy (usually calm in a storm) is barking & running back & forth.

Fri 6:00am 56º, mildish WS breezes, looks pretty cloudy but supposed t/b sunny today, H=99%, DP 59º, AP 29.89".
Thurs Temps = 71/57º, H=76%, varying S winds gusting into hi teens, mixed clouds & sun (but more clouds), DP 60º, AP 29.78". A "funny" day - sometimes beautiful but then (mostly) ominous clouds & fascintating formations. Suddenly about 8:30pm a quick shower leaving another .03" in gauge. Guess forecasted day of T-storms jumped over us again - not complaining as too much of a good thing is just that - too much & farmers' plantings are drowning.

Seems everyone else had more rain than our gauge recorded. It was more like rain w/some Thunder than a T-storm. Sun out by 2pm but air cool (possibly due to moisture in it & fact that a lot of it was from East in some form).

Fri Temps = 92/70º, varying S & W breezes in the single digits, sunny, H=57%, DP 73º, AP 30.05". A heavy air day - need rain as greenery is showing effects of heat. However, Native Prairie doing fine (probably due to the morning dews).

Sat. Temps = 91/71º, mixed sun & clouds, H=77%, DP 75º, AP 29.93", SW gusty winds from mid-teens. Tho rains threatened & a few drops fell N, S & E of us, nothing here.

Sun. Temps = 94/70º, SW gusting winds fr. Mid-20's, mostly sunny. About 3:30 pm sky started to turn & could hear Thunder approaching & until about 6pm a lot of Thunder & Lightening, then finally a little moisture fell - much less than to both our North & South. About 6pm Temps dropped fr. 95 to mid-70's & the winds cooled as started having a N & NE source. Didn't get nearly as much precip. as needed, but every drop helps.

Sat. Temps = 84/68º, H=69%, DP 71º, AP 30.05". About noon started getting progressively darker as remains of Hurricane Alex moved closer from Okla. Rains started 1:47pm, just as starting to work Spring Calves (Blackleg vaccine). A nice gentle soaking-in rain, ending shortly before 8pm = .24"/ With onset of rains, winds shifted to S in mid-teens.

Mon Temps = 91/71º, H=59%, DP 72º, AP 29.88", partly cloudy w/strong & gusty S & SW winds from mid-teens to low 20's. Threatened rain several times but nothing until about 5:20 when drops started to fall - far apart & "singles" - which cont'd for about 20 minutes. The gauge only had a Trace of moisture. If this continues we will be in a bad drought. Already the winds are whipping up the dust, grasses drying out & cattle getting Pinkeye. This is a result of the dryness, but the intensity may be due to the spraying done on the genetically modified corn - killing & repelling flying insects which then move over to the cattle & settle on their heads - mainly their eyes.

Tues Temps = 82/71º, NW winds in mid-teens, H=94%, DP 70º, AP 30.03". Driving rain moved in fr. SW @ 9:26am but quickly slowed to a nice soaking rate. By the time the 2 waves of rains had ended (by 10:30) we had .09". After another short wave there was nothing until about 3:20 when the skies opened & the downpour began in earnest ending about 5pm, then sun made its appearance. Just North of us had +1.0", yet just South had virtually nothing - one could say these rains are very scattered.

Rains coming in waves, but not getting nearly 1/2 of what we need - &, unfortunately just when people of the land are trying to cut hay & bring in crops.
Wed Temps = 86/69º, bright but mostly cloudy, varying S breezes, H=74%, DP 72º, AP 30.08". Flash Flood Watch thru Friday am & Flash Flood Warning thru 1pm. T-storm started @ 7:25pm thru 8:30, just as starting to work cattle. Another rain storm @ 11.27pm...

Thurs Temps = 82/71º, breezes from S, SE, W, NW but never higher than in the low teens mph, H=96%, DP 72º, AP 30.09", the sun sporadically appeared among the clouds. Rains returned about 8 w/a vengeance & cont'd until shortly after 11am (.98") - blinding downpours, flooded drainage ditches, wet weather creeks, run-offs, fields, etc. By 1pm waters had soaked into ground & only puddles, small amts in run-offs & in fields remained above ground & weeds, especially noxious ones, grew like crazy. Emptied gauge about 2pm a looking like another session moving in.

Mon 6:45am 71º, SW mild breezes, mostly cloudy, H=99%, DP 71º, AP 29.75". Unfortunately, spilled some of water in gauge when transferring it for measurement - using actual final measurement. More T-storms forecasted for this afternoon & overpm. Under Flood Warning until later this afternoon & Flash Flood Watch fr. 1pm today thru Tues. afternoon. Place looks like a mess due to the winds over pm.
Sun. Temps = 91/69º (felt like over 100º), DP 76º, H 67%, AP 29.81", SW winds in low-mid teens bef. storms & then in mid-hi 20's fr. E & EN. About 10:15am a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 4pm was issued by the Nat'l Weather Service & @ 3.38pm extended to 11pm. 1st wave of rain moved in @ 12:58pm @ a nice, rather heavy rate - w/o warning unless you count several periods of increasing winds & clouds - moved in for about 15 min = .02". Nasty looking Storm clouds w/stronger winds began about 6pm & Thunder @ 7.28pm. Actual T-storms hit about 9:30pm & contd thru night. This was some scary storm - esp. as Tornado Watches/Warnings for after dark + noise of Thunder & winds obscured any other sounds. Lightening fierce.

Tues 6:45am 70º, mild S breezes, mostly cloudy but bright, H=95%, DP 69º, AP 29.83". Few puddles as ground is quickly absorbing whatever rains fell around here as was so dry before Sunday. A very comfortable a.m. - there is air to breathe. Not a lot of Precip for the amt. & severity of the T & L. Now for the clean-up & bracing ourselves to work w/the other group of Pink-I infected cattle tonight.
Mon Temps = 85/72º, H=79%, DP 74º, AP 29.80". Sunny w/W & WS winds in low-mid teens during day, but about 7:30 booming Thunder & Lightening started to move closer. As we were, again, working w/the cattle, this made them extremely nervous - much worse than rain - esp. since these have Pink-I (a very bad year for it). Rains held off until 9:20pm, just as we finished working w/them, & they were "ripe". Clean-up from overnight storms took a few hours (& we only got to the homestead) - i.e. moving hay feeders that had been picked up by the winds & moved 25-50 ft., etc.

Tues 6:45am 78º, mild @ breezes, hazy sun, very little Dew.
Mon Temps = 104/75º, SE nice breezes (w/the excessive Temps, kept us from "passing out") , enough clouds to keep sun from hitting full force. Well, the Temps did it - 104º here about 2pm (in a shaded area) & forget about the THI it was ridiculous. Greenery isn't so green anymore & ponds, rivers, etc. are down - w/some ponds being dry. Doesn't bode well when you think of Drought.

Thurs Temps = 93/64º, hot, Humid & sunny w/gusty SE winds. In late afternoon clouds started taking over, Thunder could be heard from West as T-storms moved in & winds changed to varying North. Just moments after 6pm sporadic squalls moved in w/increasing vicious whipping winds - a lot of Thunder, not so much Lightening (but enough before 10pm to knock out electric for moments at a time). Temps fell to 64º as Storms moved in. Rains were mostly horizontal - not quite sure .55" in gauge is accurate as a lot of puddling, tho dry weather creeks & run-offs don't have accumulation (ground still soaking up the water almost as quickly as it fell). Grasses already much greener since Wed's rains.

As we are forecasted to get up to a poss. 8", would gladly lend the area around Boulder, CO some/most of it - would put out some/most of the fires & keep us from being inundated & the "floods" from happening here. Mature cattle aren't happy but their calves are frolicing in the waters.
Wed Temps = 80/64º, layers of white, "dirty" white & gray clouds overtook the sun all day, sporadic light spates of Precip. By 10pm had .36" as heavier rains started by 8pm - but didn't empty gauge & will add into tom. am's report. Finally heard from family in hills of Boulder, CO -1 had been evacuated (she's up in the mtns on an old mine) & they are all waiting for the evacuation order for their area.

A few minutes after 3pm, sky clouded over & darkened. 3:15 a strong NE winds came up & temps. dropped & Thundering began again. Seems T-storms to far N of us came "down S", again jumped E of us & the sun re-appeared, but a lot more twigs are off the trees & light things have moved - some quite a distance (debris clean-up resumes). Weather Service issued Flash Flood Watch @ 7pm effective until 7am Thurs & @ 8:39pm a Severe T-storm Warning until 3am. The Thunder could be heard from 8pm as it approached from the NW, dropping down in a SE direction. Lightening showed about 9:50 & the violent winds (over 60mph) @ 10pm followed in minutes by the horizontal rains.
