Wed Temps = 22/3º, NW varying to WN winds from low single digits to mid 20's & sunny. Winds still blowing the light fluffy dry Snow all around, creating drifts in the most inconvenient places & leaving other areas down to the grass.

Fri Temps = 55/50º, Rains were very light in the a.m., but picked up as day progressed into night. Fog never completely lifted until after dark.

Now, if can only get the cattle to eat most of the varieties we have (which are very healthy & good for them), it would be a blessing. As it is, they do eat a little, as the older ones learned to in previous Droughts & passed the learning on. Maybe they don't eat them now, in case there is a bad Drought & then they'll have something to eat . Non-domesticated (pets) animals have great instincts for survival.

Over an 1.50" for 4 days (& counting, we hope), not bad after years of Drought. Best thing is that the Precip. has been slow enough to limit run-off & spacing leaves enough time for the ground & flora to soak it up. Fri Temps = 76/62º, winds from every direction & by nightfall coming from the NE (but staying in the teens) & once the rains ended a sunny warm day. By the time the morning Rains ended, we had another 0.21" in the gauge = 0.99" for the morning.

Mon Temps = 64/48º, WN winds gusting all day from mid teens to mid 20's & sunny. Puddles going down quickly & ground sopping up the water, ponds fully & waterways moving quickly (the race is bet. absorbing & run-off).

The whole thing lasted maybe an hr & was gone, except for some short-lived light Precip. This a.m. the Gauge held 1.04". Finally, I can say our ground is really saturated - the run-off S of our Drive has water standing in it. Sat. Temps = 83/66º w/varying S winds from low teens w/gusting into mid 20's & stronger as day progressed, & very humid. Windy & air heavy all morning. '@ 12:08pm "Rains" moved in - not heavy, more like a flight of birds, leaving "nothing" in the Gauge. Shortly after 10pm the NWS issued a Tornado Watch until 5am tomorrow, Sun.

Temps = 75/56º, SE breezes thru-out day w/gusting into mid 20's & more clouds than sun. If not for the damp chill due to the E winds factor, would have been much nice - but, all in all, a nice day.

A light rain was all we got after 8pm, but winds rather active.

At 3:30am the N.W.S. issued a Flood Advisory until 10am today for Dade, just 3 mi. N of us & which sometimes impacts us. Tues Temps = 77/60º, SW winds pretty gentle & quite the nice day as waters seep into the earth. Just wish for a few days window to get the hay down & in.

Thurs Temps = 77/63º, SE mostly light winds in low teens w/gusting in the low-mid 20's during the downpours.

The N.W.S. issued a Flood Warning until 9am earlier this morning. Fri Temps = 74/64º, primarily ES winds (but as weather/day progressed from every direction) pretty gentle except when storming, then gusting strongly into 20's range.

Temps = 67/57º, cloudy & threatening all day - w/brief period of Rain in a.m. & a misty Rain @ night. At 9am the N.W.S. extended the Flood Warning until 9pm as small steams & low water xings will be rising & the heavy rainfall will cause water to flow more quickly. At 8:46pm the N.W.S. issued a Flood Advisory replacing the earlier Flood Warning until Noon on Sunday as creeks & streams are starting to crest @ higher levels than previously thought. A pretty good idea as it is Raining again, tho very lightly.

Temps = 66/57º, NE winds in single digits w/some gusting to mid teens & the clouds wouldn't let go, but did make glimmers of sun visible a few times in the afternoon. We need some good sun now to help the waters go down & the earth to dry enough to allow haying & crop tending.

All the gauge had this a.m. were bugs & dust - not even a hint of moisture. Fri Temps = 86/66º, SW mild breezes except when T-storms moving into area - then in hi 20's & fr the WS. Mainly a sunny, hot, muggy, humid day w/little air to breathe & gentle breezes, until, about 5:30 when Thunder c/b heard coming nearer & the skies to the NW & SW darkened in a threatening way & the trees' leaves turned - it jumped around us & we only got, maybe, 6 droplets of water.

About 2:15pm the skies opened w/a pretty heavy downpour - obliterating the sun & visibility. Rains light by 2:40pm. As coming back from getting the mail the skies again opened in a semi-torrential downpour, this time from the SW & in thru the open windows. Needless to say, any hay that was raked & ready for baling will have to re-dry. The cut hay waiting t/b raked w/b okay. This storm lasted about 1-1/2hrs ranging from very heavy to a Drizzle & back.

Can't say we're sad that the Rains have ended, past time to get hay cut & in, &, for the farmers to get their crops tended to. It'll take a few days until the fields dry out enough to get machinery &/or horses (in the case of the Amish & Mennonites) in to get the work done. Fri Temps = 79/68º, only another 0.03" fell in the morning, then clouds slowly replaced by sun, light breezes & utter mugginess. The N.W.S. extended the Flood Warning until 8pm tonight. In the meantime almost all our fields are covered in water.

Need a break fr. these THI's up to & into the 100's - it's just the beginning of Summer, what comes next? Tues Temps = 91/76º, WS winds which could have been strong to offset some of the glaring sun (even when thru the thin clouds). Tho creeks & waterways still have water, the ground is drying out fast. Haying is going well in most areas. Unfortunately, the weeds took heart w/the Rains last week & are abounding - why do they grow faster than the grasses & forbes?

Waiting for water in the fields to go down & start to dry out so can get back to work. Fri Temps = 81/65º, by 8:10am the T-storm was up & "running", but we could breathe. Almost all the hay is either down or bailed, once the Rains dry out we can rake & bale it - Rains won't hurt the cut hay. We got great stands of grasses this year - finally - & maybe won't have to buy hay. Gauge emptied @ noon w/another 0.86" for a total of 0.89" for the day. Sun out about 4pm.

Midnight, on the nose, the Rains hit & cont'd. thru @ least 3am, putting 0.16" in the gauge. Somewhere they got heavy Rains as @ 7:27am the N.W.S. issued a Flash Flood Warning until 11am. Wed Temps = 86/73º, winds whipping wildly all day, no real sign of the sun until shortly before 4pm & very muggy. Several "spits" of water, but no accumulation except for droplets on windshields & dampness on concrete. Guess we could say we got a Trace. At 6:04pm the N.W.S. issued a Tornado Watch until 12am Thu, 7/2. Hope it's as false as last night T-storm warnings. We could use the water (actually, still need more than we've gotten last 2 mths), but not the Tornadoes. They are also calling for T-storms dropping anywhere from 1 - 3". Would like to see (if we lived in Camelot) a nice steady rain for several hrs. so it can seep into the ground w/little to no flooding. Lightning about 10:30 & Thunder & violently whipping winds approx. 11:30pm, but still no Precip.
