However, the Temp rose enough that the iciness of the early a.m. left & all we were left w/was muck & mire. Unfortunately, the Earthworms suffered the most. Just like this past Spring, found hundreds drowned. Only thing to do for them is move them to drier land & hope they make it - they're so very important for the health of the earth.

Fri Temps = 41/18º, sun was out but not very strong & by 3pm the clouds had taken over & it was nasty. However, warm enough for some intense melting - here we go again, puddles, puddles everywhere. Pastures w/o livestock still covered in Snow, but where the animals or vehicles are, it is mud & puddles.

What a difference a strong sun makes. Sat. Temps = 49/29º, what a cutting day. Sun disappeared by 10am & tho Ice melted the winds were bad - cold & gusting. However, sun's bright light was visible thru the clouds, just no real heat from it.

Total SWE Monday from 2/10 thru this am = 0.50". Sun. Temps = 59/28º, sun never really made it thru the cloud cover &, coupled w/those ES breezes definitely didn't feel like a hi of 59º.

Puddles much smaller & some disappeared entirely, if you discount the mud they left behind, but ground is finally firming up & doesn't feel that we're living in a swamp. Looks like they're projecting a Rainy week-10 days starting Monday - hope it really dries of fast before then. That's assuming that they're right about the forecast. Thurs Temps = 60/33º, those strong & gusting NW winds brought a chill to the air. At times the gusts were slamming strong & knocked a person backward a step or two. Had to put more bark down by some of the muddier areas so can walk & stand w/o slipping & sliding.

The weather combo's been great for drying everything out - just in time for wet weather they're forecasting for next week. Have to jump the clocks ahead 1 hr. @ 2am tomorrow - why can't they leave us on Standard Time, why play w/our natural rhythms! Fri Temps = 56/31º, a beautiful sunny day, especially when the winds turned friendly (SW).

Only those left that are in the 2' ruts cut by the tractor when giving hay.

Temps = 69/40º, a beautiful Spring-like day w/gusting forceful, mainly, S winds. Understand from the forecasters the next couple of weeks w/b April-like as far as Rain is concerned. Get out your waders & boats.

Mon Temps = 62/40º, Rains stopped in late a.m./early p.m. & sun finally made it thru the clouds just about 4pm. Emptied gauge of 0.13. At 7:20pm a heavy driving squall hit pretty much from the S coming down so hard & fast couldn't see more than several feet in any direction. It was all over by 7:30pm. & gauge held another 0.22", for a day's total of 0.53"

T-storms moved in @ 5:05am with brilliant white Lightning & awakening Thunder. Didn't stay long, just long enough to leave 0.56" in the gauge (over by 6:30am) & some new wet weather run-offs. Now we wait for tonight/tomorrow's Rains. Tues Temps = 58/37º, a very nice day as we wait for the Rains & T-storms to move in over pm. Hoped they would cancel the cattlemen's meeting for tonight due to the Covid-19 Epi/Pandemic, but no such luck. Will be careful & not touch my face, other people, etc. & wash thoroughly w/S&W + use the Alcohol cleaner. What a life - with all we know = so very little.

Fri Temps = 52/41º, a rather raw day = cold cutting winds, lack of sun & a dampness to the air. Very light, spotty Rain started about 7pm, never really wetting the walks, but dampening the grasses & vehicles. This Covid-19 pandemic is starting to make me nervous - w/weather being on a roller coaster & its Flu season, etc. people's immunity is extra-stressed. Not hearing anything about animal health & Covid-19.

The weather forecast for the upcoming week looks like a preview of April Showers. Sat. Temps = 43/36º, never saw the sun but skies did brighten some in latter afternoon when sun did try to break thru clouds - all in all was a nasty raw day. Rains returned about 9am & were spotty. Emptied gauge of another 0.12" about 2pm when drying of the walk indicated the Rains were over.
3/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.29 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Mon 8:00am 38º, H=99%, DP 37º, AP 30.29", ES breezes nearing teens & Raining @ a nice clip. So far gauge held 0.29". Rain started just after 5am. Total SWE Monday from 3/9 thru this am = 0.0". Sun. Temps = 40/36º, definitely not the nicest of days, but at least a dry one as we wait for the waters to be further absorbed by the earth - hopefully before the Rains return tonight/early tomorrow. Could have used some warming sun - help the plants, etc., not to mention warm us up.
3/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.57 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Tues 8:00am 44º, H=99%, DP 42º, AP 30.30", NE mild breezes & cloudy w/some Fog remaining. Seem Rains/T-storms over for the day, but more to come tonight.

Already have new grassed wet weather creeks - 1 running diagonally across the Bull Pen. At 5:33am the N.W.S. issued a Flash Flood Warning until 11:30am & the Flood Watch is still in effect. Wed Temps = 73/47º, not a bad day, especially since a lovely sun broke thru the clouds in early afternoon & stayed out. All this Rain has created big deep mud "holes" & 1 just about swallowed one of our best 5 yr. old Cows & her newborn Heifer. Can't afford this, especially w/CoVID-19 & not being able to get a fair price for livestock, or even sell them. The N.W.S. issued a Flash Flood Watch from 1am to 7pm Thurs as starting tonight will have multiple rounds of Showers & T-storms w/moderate to heavy Rain tonight into Thurs. amts. = to 1-2" w/possibility up to 3".

Sun came out about 2pm, crazy warm gale-force winds continued until sunset. Not bad, got a total of 2.04" of water & it's like we live in a marsh, but the grass is growing fast &, unfortunately, some weeds are starting to show their unwanted heads. The N.W.S. issued a Flood Warning from 5:15pm today thru 5:15pm tomorrow.
3/21/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sat.7:55am, 28º, H=93%, DP 26º, AP 30.54", NE light breezes, a very light Frost on vehicles but puddles/creeks flowing freely & a big beautiful sun doing its job. Fri Temps = 32/63º dropped from midnight on. N gusting winds, coupled w/no to a weak sun kept it from warming up. Waters going down very, very slowly, but at least no Earth Worms in the overflow.
3/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.40 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sun. 8:00am 40º, H=95%, DP 38º, AP 30.26", ES winds in mid teens & a cold Rain, which started a couple of hrs. ago, is still coming down from the EN. So Emptied the gauge of 0.40". Sat. Temps = 49/26º, a beautiful sunny day w/a strong sun making it feel warmer than the Temp indicated. Ground a little firmer, but the "new" wet weather creeks haven't disappeared yet. The N.W.S. extended the Flood Advisory until 10:30am Sunday.
3/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Mon 8:00am 47º, H=99%, DP 45º, AP 30.14", SE minimal air movement & sun's breaking thru the "Pea Soup" Fog that settled in earlier this morning. Total SWE Monday from 3/16 thru this am = 0.0". Sun. Temps = 50/39º, a raw day, but @ least the Rain stopped & waters had a chance to run off. Can barely get into the Bull Pen & when there have to try to avoid the deepest of the new "Wet Weather Creeks". When Rain finally ended had another 0.02" in the gauge.
3/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.86 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Tues 8:00am 49º, H=96%, DP 47º, AP 29.86", EN winds in mid teens & T-storm, which moved in @ 5:10am is still pouring down. Most of T & L have stopped, & due to the amount of Rain (emptied gauge of 0.86") since started not surprised the N.W.S. issued a Flash Flood Warning until 11:45am today. Storm projected t/b over by 11:15am. Mon Temps = 59/744, unfortunately the strong sun the rather quickly burned off the Fog didn't last too well. Most of day was overcast & the dampness from all the water standing that can't be absorbed by the earth makes for a damp feeling - & more to come tonight.
3/25/2020 8:00 AM 0.12 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Wed 8:00am 46º, H=97%, DP 44º, AP 29.94", SE breezes just about reaching teens & "Pea Soup" is back w/no signs of the sun.

So far this month 4 of the 5 days we s/h had Precip. we did, if you follow the 90 day O.W.T. Unfortunate;y, sun only made it until about 11am & then the clouds took over.

A lot of water was absorbed by the earth yesterday, still plenty to go. Grasses growing great where not under water & dandelions in bloom. Calving is a problem this season - too much Rain & mud puddles - some deep. Wed Temps = 75/44º, a very nice day but for the water that hasn't sunk in yet & is causing dampness.
3/27/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Fri 8:00am 67º, H=100%, DP 63º, AP 29.64", SW winds in mid teens & sunny. The bad T-storms & accompanying large Hail never came early this am. Now saying scattered T-storms this afternoon. Ground drying slowly & grasses growing quickly (& so are the weeds). Thurs Temps = 82/56º tied the record hi & it was just a beautiful Summery day only marred by the CoVID-19 precautions. But, that's life.

Fri Temps = 81/62º, sun didn't make it much past noon before the steel gray/blue grey clouds too over & became more & more ominous until 4:20pm when Thunder boomed & 10 minutes later Lightning & a quick Rain which was over w/in 10-12 min. leaving only 0.02" in the gauge.

Tues Temps = 65/47º, turned into a lovely warm day w/o Rains returning, tho it did threaten several times. Water seems t/b absorbed by the earth much quicker than in past several weeks.

Wed Temps = 73/41º, a very pleasant 1/2 & 1/2 sunny/cloudy day w/some period of strongish warm winds. Some of the ground has firmed up nicely - at least not squishing when walk.

Thurs Temps = 75/53º, the forecasted Rains were to move in about 1pm, but instead held off. At 3:30pm Lightning to the w/some to the W, At 3:40 strong gusting winds & rumbling Thunder, followed by a quick horizontal driving Rain from 3:37-4:04pm. Then the sun returned & the winds died. The "big" storm only left a scant 0.01" in the gauge.

Sat. Temps = 41/33º, received another 0.02" before the Rains completely cleared out & then played the game "Fog/No Fog" for the next few hours &, then, finally, it cleared up but the sun wasn't part of the picture, unfortunately. Ground has returned to almost swamp conditions, but that's better than Drought - at least plants can grow, wildlife can eat & drink, & mankind can continue to mess up this phenomenal Planet.
4/6/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Mon 8:00am 57º, H=94%, DP 55º, AP 30.02", SE winds in low teens & cloudy w/no sign of the sun w/a chilly dampness pervading everything.

Top layer(s) of ground have pretty much dried out & can finally walk w/o mud gear. Mon Temps = 75/49º, never had much sun but skies were lightened by the sun behind the clouds. So far have 2 live calves on the ground (heifer & bull). At least they didn't drown like the other 3 & 1 Dam. With prices so bad, don't want to sell last Fall's calves - guess we'll have to keep them until, hopefully, things get somewhat back to normal.

The N.W.S. issued a Freeze Warning from 2 - 9am Fri as they expect sub-freezing Temps into the 20's w/Frost which can kill Crops & other sensitive plants - &, stupid us, thought we only had to worry about CoVID-19 pandemic & enjoy the beautiful Summery weather. Ah, well, that's life. Wed Temps = 86/58º (nothing like a record hi), what a gorgeous day. Hopefully, the scientific people were correct when they said that the Virus would abate or die back w/the hot weather. Too many dead & too many just going about their lives as if nothing is going on. But when they get sick they want someone to risk their own lives to save them.

Weird weather from record hi on Wed. to Freeze this morning. Thurs. Temps = 60/43º, definitely not as hot as yesterday, but much more comfortable. Guess happy medium w/b somewhere between today & yesterday. Dream on.

Can't believe that "religious" people are willing to risk the lives of others so they can sit in church v.s. watching on TV, listening to radio, going to a church who is holding Easter services outdoors - w/everyone separated to hopefully avoid exposure to the CoVID-19 killer. G-d is hanging his head - again. Sat. Temps = 70/42º, by 8am Rain Shower had finally moved in, wetting everything. At 9:55am someone turned off the tap, leaving us w/0.05" in the gauge & the sun brightening the skies - at least for a little while. The rest of the day had strong gusting winds & peek-a-boo sun.

Sun. Temps = 61/33º, just about 11am, shortly after the clouds obscured the sun, faint rumbling Thunder c/b heard & @ 11:50am the 1st drops of Rain started falling. Rains continued thru the day & into the evening - sometimes light, others heavy, w/some short periods of nothing. Turned into a cold nasty day, but at least those celebrating Easter had a sunny warmish morning.

Have t/b concerned that the fruit trees didn't lose their buds & we (including wildlife) won't have fruit from them this year. But not to worry - the weeds are thriving, as usual. The N.W.S. issued another Freeze Warning from 3:00am-9:00am Tues.
4/15/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Wed 7:55am 38º, H=76%, DP 31º, AP 30.17", SW winds in the mid teens & sunny w/no sign of Frost. It's really wonderful living rurally. Where else can you see a herd of Deer crossing your pasture, while your calves "play" w/their babies; &, when they're crossing the hiway, 2 pick-ups, going in opposite directions, stop to let them cross in safety. When the wildlife get near our cattle, it drives the cattle dogs crazy (invaders near our charges), but they're trained to only bark @ them, not attack. Wish I had had my camera w/me. Tues Temps = 51/33º, tuned into a sort of comfortable day w/sun playing w/the clouds. The N.W.S. issued a Frost Advisory from 1:00am-8:00am Wednesday.,
4/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thurs 8:00am 42º, H=76%, DP 35º, AP 30.20", SE increasing breezes & sunny. Breezes t/b strong & gusting winds as day progresses, followed by Rain tonight. Wed Temps = 59/33º, seemed warmer than it was, but we'll take it. Driving was interesting, esp. when those SW winds were gusting.
4/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.10 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Fri 8:00am 45º, H=95%, DP 44º, AP 30.02", NW chilly breezes & cloudy w/no sign of the sun. Emptied gauge of 0.10" water that fell early this morning - stiff breezes blew water off vehicles, but left some on grasses & walk. W/all those working from home & children not in school, computer sure is slowing down. But is is worth it if it keeps even 1 person from getting CoVID-19. Thurs Temps = 70/36º, a warm comfortable day w/a nice sun w/few small white clouds against the blue sky. Couldn't have been much better.
4/18/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sat. 7:55am 33º, H=83%, DP 30º, AP 30.16", S mild breezes & sunny. Everything is covered in a very thin layer of Frost & the air has that early Winter stillness after a Snow Storm - but, thankfully, we didn't get that. The fields, which are covered in Clover, abound & would have been very unhappy if that was killed off. This year, Clover seems t/b the "grass of the year" - never had so much of it. Just hope it doesn't invade the Original Native Prairie. Fri Temps = 53/34, mostly cloudy but bright, a cold cutting wind & a sense of dampness. Have had better days. The N.W.S. issued a Freeze Warning from 1:00 to 10:00am Sat.
4/19/2020 7:55 AM 0.23 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sun. 7:55am 51º, H=97%, DP 49º, AP 29.80", SE breezes nearing teens & sunny w/some cloud-over. Emptied gauge of 0.23" from the Rains that began after 1am. Guess that's it for the day. Last pm's forecast was for Showers to continue until mid/late afternoon. So be it. Sat. Temps = 67/26º, was a beautiful day. At most only needed a light jacket.
4/20/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Mon 7:55am 48º, H=90%, DP 46º, AP 29.87", SE light breezes & clear skies w/few clouds. Total SWE Monday from 4/13 thru this am = 0.0". Sun. Temps = 71/47º, a beautiful day, but for the cow stuck in the NWP in the mud. Pulled her out w/the tractor, but have to hope now that she'll make it. This CoVID-19 + the Rains is "killing" us. So far lost 1 other cow & 3 calves in the mud & can't call neighbors for help. Both cows are Pathfinders which makes it even worse.
4/21/2020 7:55 AM 0.03 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Tues 7:55am 53º, H=74%, DP 44º, AP 30.02", WS barely noticeable air movement & sunny w/a nice Dew. Mon Temps = 73/40º & a beautiful sunny day w/comfortable breezes. At 4:20pm, nasty sounding Thunder coming from the SSW accompanied by angry clouds interspersed w/white clouds & the sun. At 5:05pm a quick Rain Shower w/strong gusting winds & a fall in the H & T. By 6pm it was back to status prior to the Thunder. Emptied gauge of 0.03".
4/22/2020 7:55 AM 0.05 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Wed 7:55am 56º, H=72%, DP 48º, AP 29.88", SE winds in mid teens & gusting, cloudy but light w/no sign of the sun. Storms projected t/b here about 5am never moved in, however, tho everything dry (probably due to fierce gusting S winds), gauge had 0.05" possibly due to a fast run-thu of Rain. Only other thing that showed sign of Rain was a small amount of water in the wheelbarrow. Found landline & internet out of service - guess phone company's backup messed up. Tues Temps = 75/45º, a beautiful day, weeds fighting w/clover for control of the ground. Better than when grasses had to fight the controlling weeds. Hopefully weeds won't take over.
4/23/2020 7:55 AM 1.84 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thurs 7:55am 56º, Rains in hiatus, but supposed to end 9-10am. Emptied gauge of 1.15" + the 0.69' from last evening = 1.84". Well, this a.m. we have no internet or landline phone service. They can't seem to fix the update. Great!! Finally got service back this afternoon w/no guarantee what will happen tomorrow. Wed Temps = 58/53º, a very nasty chilly day. Just a preview of the night. At 11:35am, light Thunder c/b heard to the W as skies darkened slightly. At 10:35am w/a loud, earth-shaking boom of Thunder announcing its arrival, the Rains moved in. At 4:20pm, when the Rains let up to a Drizzle, emptied gauge of 0.69". At 7pm, w/a bang of Thunder & Gale force icy ES winds the Storm returned w/a vengeance - more like a Winter storm than Spring. The N.W.S. issued a Significant Weather Advisory until 9:30pm for strong T-storms, wind gusts of 55mph range & cloud to ground Lightning.
4/24/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Fri 7:55am 58º, H=91%, DP 56º, AP 29.79", SE mild breezes & cloudy w/no sign of the sun. Thurs Temps = 69/52º, Rains never returned & we had a beautiful, very muddy day. Puddles are back, as are tractor ruts, some 2' deep, filled w/water. Grasses & weeds are still vying for control of the earth & trees greening up nicely sans about 1/3-1/5 of their buds due to the violence of the Storms.
4/25/2020 7:55 AM 1.54 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sat. 7:55am 52º, H=92%, DP 49º, AP 29.83", NW winds gusting in the mid-hi teens & tho clearing to the W, clouds layered from dark lower down to light higher up w/no sign of the sun. Emptied gauge of 1.46" from over pm T-Storms. Grassed Waterways (i.e. wet weather creeks) are fast flowing again & we have new "lakes" & "rivers" until the waters can be absorbed by the earth. Branches everywhere as well as polliwogs & buds. Even some drowned earthworms - not good. Fri Temps = 71/52º, morning's light Rain = 0.08" & it turned into a rather nice day. At 7:30pm the sky to the W turned very dark & angry, 10 minutes later Lightning started, followed a few minutes later by a heavy downpour, which continued at various intensities thru the night accompanied by strong gusting winds & a little Thunder. The N.W.S. issued a Flood Watch from 9pm tonight thru 9am tomorrow as we s/h T-storms w/moderate to heavy Rain w/up to 1 to 2" of water & may be as much as 3".
4/26/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sun. 7:55am 48º, H=90%, DP 45º, AP 30.18", hard to find WS air movement, everything is dripping from the over pm Dew & we have a stranger in our skies - the sun. Sat. Temps = 65/46º, turned into a lovely day, not too hot or cold, just a little to much in the force of the NW-NE winds. Back to "don't forget your muck boots". At least the fertilizer the cattle are putting down will get deep into the earth - & quickly. Just wish we could get into the pastures to drag, aerate & spread the compost (including the barn cleanings & old hay), but the ground will swallow any of the tractors down at least 1 & a 1/2'. Then we have damaged feet.
4/27/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Mon 7:55am 58º, H=73%, DP 48º, AP 30.10", SE cool winds in low teens & sunny w/clouds moving in. Total SWE Monday from 4/20 thru this am = 0.0". Sun. Temps = 71/41º, a beautiful windy day w/plenty of sun. Puddles going down nicely & grounds drying out slowly. Too many cows & calves lost to this wet weather - if mot drowning in the suddenly appearing mud holes, diseases normally in the ground popping up.
4/28/2020 7:55 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Tues 7:55am 65º, H=81%, DP 57º, AP 29.87", S winds in mid teens, an extremely light Dew & sunny. You can almost see the grasses/weeds growing, we've gotten so much Rain, nice Temps & enough sun. Mon Temps = 68/44º, a slight chill in the air from the strong gusting SE winds. Waited all day for the T-storms that were supposed to move in about 8:30am. Had to wait for the Thunder until 4:40pm & a slight fast heavy Rain leaving 0.02" in the gauge. Water blown off everything w/in minutes as the winds picked up w/very strong spaced gusts. The main Storm hit S of us.
4/29/2020 7:55 AM 0.46 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Wed 7:55am 51º, H-82%, DP 45º, AP 29.86", chilly WN winds in low teens & tho bright, more clouds than sun. Emptied gauge of 0.46" from yesterday's Storm. some tree damage @ the Homestead w/1 or 2 large limbs torn off trees & plenty of small twigs. haven't looked over the entire place yet, but can almost say "the Clover is as high as an elephant's thigh...". Can't wait until can get out to the Prairie - way too wet yet. Tues Temps = 80/55º, this afternoon, the N.W.S. issued a Tornado Watch until 11:00pm for Lawrence County & a Severe Thunderstorm Watch from 4:07pm to 11:00pm for Dade - which we are on the S border of - warning of very destructive winds, Hail, etc. Looks like we're in for it, as the skies suddenly darkened w/cloud cover about 4:45pm & the animals started to act as they do when a severe storm is near. A beautiful eerie feeling after the T-storms moved out as to the W we had a beautiful Rainbow w/Lightning still shooting bolts thru it.
4/30/2020 7:50 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thurs 7:50am 52º, H=79%, DP 45º, AP 30.06", weak W breezes, a nice Dew & sunny. Wed Temps = 65/48º, chilly, possibly due to the strong gusting winds w/a NW origin & the fact that the threatening clouds kept a variable presence, but never really got dark - just a medium grey
5/1/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Fri 7:55am 58º, H=71%, DP 48º, AP 29.98", SE breezes just reaching teens, a very nice Dew & mostly sunny. Thurs Temps = 73/45º, a sunny, rather windy comfortable day. Still cleaning up large tree limbs, etc. & other debris the Straight Force Winds brought Tues. pm. Letting the Native Grasses come back is a Godsend - they're helping to wipe out the "invasives" plants & this year seems to be the turning point. Just that the CoVID-19 keeps us from bringing in someone to I.D. all the Prairie flowers & can't find pix of all of them.
5/2/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sat. 7:55am 70º, H=69%, DP 57º, AP 29.94", S breezes picking up, a nice Dew & sunny. Fri Temps = 82/47º, a great sunny day w/strong gusting winds into the hi 20's/low 30's. Still finding up smaller branches & twigs from the storms the other day that were buried in the tall grasses that all this Rain has speeded up the growth of.
5/3/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sun. 7:55am 66º, H=84%, DP 61º, AP 29.94", NE breezes nearing teens, most of the over pm Dew has been blown off & cloudy. T-storms forecasted for last pm/early this am never reached us. What else is new. Now we wait all day for the T-storms/Rains to reach us - if they do. Sat. Temps = 87/62º beat the previous record hi for this time of the year by 1º. A wonderful sunny windy day & still picking up tree parts that are hidden by the grasses - mostly clover.
5/4/2020 7:55 AM 0.82 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Mon 7:55am 60º, H=79%, DP 54º, AP 29.92", ES winds in mid teens, any Dew's been blown off & sunny w/plenty of clouds ready to take over. At 6:34am the N.W.S. a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 3:00pm, If it Rains as hard & the winds are as bad as yesterday's T-storm, we may be in for it. A little early, but we'll take it - some of the Red Clover is starting to bloom. Total SWE Monday from 4/27 thru this am = 0.0". Sun. Temps = 73/55º, well, the T-storms didn't come in when forecasted (3pm). They dropped in w/T & L @ 9:40am. This was after the sky getting progressively darker starting about 8:30am & the winds picking up about 9:30am. When the sometimes torrential Rain ended, about 10:30am, we had 0.82" in the gauge.
5/5/2020 7:55 AM 0.22 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Tues 7:55am 55º, H=88%, DP 51º, AP 30.03", NW cutting gusting winds in mid teens & mostly sunny. No more Rain predicted for the next couple-few days, hopefully, enough time for the puddles t/b absorbed. Mon Temps = 66/55º, the a.m. T-storm moved in a fury dropping a little small hail & obscuring visibility down to maybe 2/10 mile. Thankfully it was gone w/in 1/2 hr. We even had sun during mid afternoon for about 2 hours. Unfortunately the tree that has had the hardest its in this series, one of our few Redbud Trees got it again. The N.W.S. issued a Tornado Watch until 10pm during the afternoon, shortly before Thunder c/b heard to the W about 4:30pm & as the skies darkened again. Thankfully the warnings/watches for us came to nothing, everything moved S. Gauge emptied of 0.22:.
5/6/2020 7:50 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Wed 7;50am 50º, H=79%, DP 43º, AP 30.27", NW breezes nearing teen, no sign of last pm's Dew & mostly sunny. Clover is starting to bloom - only the Red & White. Guess the Yellow, which is much less, is biding its time. Tues Temps = 69/53º, just a lovely day. Felt much warmer than the thermometer read & when out of the chilly NW gusty winds was very comfortable.
5/7/2020 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thurs 7:55am 50º, H=94%, DP 46â, AP 30.20", ES light breezes, a very nice Dew & sunny. Wed Temps = 65/47º, turned into a nice sunny warm day & would have been warmer if not for those NW cutting light winds.

Emptied gauge of 0.74" from over pm Rains. Thurs Temps = 65/41º, incoming clouds pretty much obscured the sun by 11:30am. Other than that was a pleasant day until 3:30pm when the Rains moved in for the night coming down in varying rates. The N.W.S. issued a Frost Advisory from 12:00a.m. to 7:00a.m. Sat. as Temps are expected to fall into the low - mid 30's.
5/9/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sat. 8:00am 46º, H=75%, DP 38º, AP 30.31", barely any SW air movement, a very nice Dew & quite sunny. Fri Temps = 61/41º, turned into a very nice mostly sunny day until late afternoon when clouds took over & winds died down.

Most of puddles gone & ground drying out nicely - just in time for more weather. Sat. Temps = 65/34º, a nice sunny day w/mild SW breezes & sunny w/a very slight chill to the air. Still finding branches & limbs hidden in the tall grass that are still amazing us - so very tall, thick & vibrant colors.
5/11/2020 7:50 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Mon 7:50am 45º, H=72%, DP 37º, AP 30.38", the faint air movement seems t/b coming from the WS, cloudy but brightening & a light Dew.Don't see much sign of an early am Frost. Total SWE Monday from 5/4 thru this am = 0.0". Sun. Temps = 61/43º, turned into a beautiful day for Mothers' Day, even if CoVID-19 is keeping everyone (that cares for themselves, their loved ones & others), distanced from all but those they live with. But this too shall pass. The N.W.S. issued a Frost Advisory from 1:00-7:00am Monday.
5/12/2020 7:55 AM 1.49 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Tues 7:55am 43º, H=97%, DP 42í, AP 30.24", ES breezes pushing teens & still Raining, tho on the light side. Emptied gauge of 1.49" & counting. Puddles & recently developed "waterways" back, but at least it's on the warm side. Mon Temps = 51/35º, a pretty nice, if coolish day until a light Rains moved in @ 1:10pm just as bringing wood in & continued thru day into night in an on & off pattern. The N.W.S. issued a Flood Watch until 5pm Tues as accum. a minimum of 1-2" inches Precip. expected w/a strong possibility of higher amounts.

Emptied gauge of another 0.68". Tues Temps = 50/40º, a nasty late Fall-like Rainy day. The Flood Watch has been extended until 7pm Wed. & a Flood Advisory issued from 7:01pm tonight until 10am Wed. as more than 2" of Rain has fallen w/more expected. AT times couldn't see more than, maybe, 1/8 mi., due to the Mist.
5/14/2020 7:55 AM 0.12 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thurs 7:55am 68º, H=86%, DP 64º, AP 29.90", S warm gusting winds in mid teens & early a.m. sun seems t/b slowly being replaced by clouds. Emptied gauge of another 0.12" from yesterday's Rain. The N.W.S. issued a Flash Flood Watch from midnight tonight thru Noon on Fri. as T-storms are expected to bring 1-3" more Rain. Wed Temps = 70/48º, started out as a pleasant day as cloudy moved out & sun took over, not strong but bright. About 2pm the skies started to darken & by 3pm the walks were wet again. Light sporadic showers cont'd. thru the evening.
5/15/2020 8:00 AM 0.67 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Fri 8:00am 58º, H=96%, DP 58º, AP 29.90", SE winds in low teens & Rain almost in hiatus - just a droplet here & there - but to look to the sky & hear the Thunder, we know its coming. Don't need a map. A booming T-storm slammed in just about 4:05am & so far we have 0.67" in the gauge. The N.W.S. issued a Flood Advisory from 4:20am-4:15pm today. Thurs Temps = 81/61º, the clouding over the sun disappeared by 12:30pm & it turned into a beautiful sunny windy day. Even when the clouds returned in force & covered the sun, late afternoon, the skies were bright. A good day for the plants & to give the waters a chance to go down.
5/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.28 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sat. 8:00am 65º, H=91%, DP 62º, AP 29.90", SE breezes nearing teens & a beautiful warming sun. The N.W.S. issued a Flood Advisory until 1:00pm today. Fri Temps = 70/57º, tuned into a nice day, once the additional Rain ended, leaving 0.28" in the gauge. Have to admit the mud is getting to everyone, even the livestock. All this Rain leads to Scours = calf loss, etc. Bad enough that newborns drown in the mud holes - holes that weren't there a day ago - & some of their Dams w/them, trying to save them.
5/17/2020 7:55 AM 0.17 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sun. 7:55am 64º, H=97%, DP 63º, AP 29.81", NW winds in low teens, light grey clouds covering the sky & we're living in a "a swamp". Emptied the gauge of 0.17" from last pm's thru early am's Rain & it seems to have been the final straw for the ground - it seems like it's giving it back. Sat. Temps = 78/60º, was a wonderful sunny windy day. If this weather continues & the Rains leave us alone for a few days, maybe the ground will settle down & we can walk w/o slipping & sliding int the muck & mire when not wading thru the puddles & new wet weather creeks. Not a chance in 20 of getting into the fields to hay or work the ground (dragging, aerating, etc.). But, have to admit never have seen the grasses, etc. so lush & high, even plants that haven't seen in years coming up. Found a few earthworms for the composter.
5/18/2020 7:50 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Mon 7:50am 54º, H=87%, DP 51º, AP 29.92", WN breezes nearing teens, a light Dew & overcast w/no sign of the sun. There's a stillness & a damp feeling in the air, tho no Rain is forecasted for the next several days. Total SWE Monday from 5/11 thru this am = 0.0". Sun. Temps = 69/56º, a lovely sunny day - need more of them, esp. now that we have all that water to get into the ground w/o causing too much damage to the floral.
5/19/2020 7:50 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Tues 7:50am 56º, H=91%, DP 53º, AP 29.94", NW mild breezes, a faint Dew & no sun for the cloud, but sky is light. Mon Temps = 61/49º, a quiet pleasant day, bright w/a slight chill in the air. Could feel the dampness also.

Tues Temps = 69/47º, another very pleasant day w/the only thing that could be better w/b if the sun didn't have to fight w/the clouds. Puddles disappearing nicely & Flora's coming along just fine. Some of the grasses are shoulder hi (& I'm about 5'3").
5/21/2020 7:50 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thurs 7:50am 60º, H=98%, DP 59º, AP 29.97", ES winds in the low teens, minimal Dew & cloudy w/Rain expected tonight. Wed Temps = 70/50º, sun made a hasty retreat by 9am & we were left w/a cloudy but bright day w/ the cloud going from a dark grey down to very light grey, but no Precip. thankfully, as the ground & Flora need time to work thru what we already have. Still can't get into some pastures unless want to sink into the mud/muck/mire.
5/22/2020 7:55 AM 1.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Fri 7:55am 63º, H=99%, DP 63º, AP 29.91", ES winds in the low teens, Rains in hiatus w/Thunder to our S. Emptied gauge of Rains fr. last pm thru T-storms that came in early this am of 1.01". Back to mud/mire & mire, puddles & temporary wet weather creeks.

Sometime between 5 & 6am the Lightning & Thunder stopped. Thurs Temps = 92/67º, cloudy day until about 1:30pm when the sun appeared. A quick "lick, spit & a promise" of Precip. leaving barely a Trace water. At 10:05pm, just as the Weatherman was explaining the the T-storms, primarily 60 mi. SW of us wouldn't affect us, but would hit S Lawrence County, a spooky Lightning Storm hit & continued thru the night into Fri. am., sometimes accompanied by Thunder.

No chirping/singing birds again this a.m. - guess this weather is taking the song from them, too much effort. Even the Raptors aren't much in evidence. As for Precip., all we get are 1/2 baked promises, which are more like wishful thinking. Tues Temps = 90/71º, what can I say - just another day like the last few, hoping/waiting for some Precip. to refill (@ least a little) the ponds, etc. & give some relief to the Flora.

Those really dangerous toxic invasive weeds are coming up fast & furious - some w/their seed pods already formed. Weeds like the Colorado Bur w/insidious minute thorns on them that stick to the livestock's tongue impeding their intake of nutrition. Thurs Temps = 94/68º, what can I say - just another oppressive Summer day & not a drop falling from the sky.

Still comfortable enough to get some fence repairs in, but getting oppressive quickly. Fri Temps = 96/70º, getting tired of hearing the weather "authorities" saying scattered Showers & T-storms in our area when nothing's fallen since a Trace on the 15th & 16th - & both were stretching it to call them a Trace.

Can feel the nice morning disappearing by the minute - back to oppressive. Do we dare believe the forcasters that we'll get some meaningful Rains Mon-Wed of this week????? Sat. Temps = 93/70º, one day is just like the one(s) previous - oppressive heat, humidity, mugginess w/o enough air movement to give much, or for that matter, any relief.

What a difference a change in air movement makes - now can breathe & be comfortable w/livable Humidity. Fri Temps = 73/63º, Rain went into hiatus by 9am, but a light Mist is still visible. Light Rains returned by 9:30am & continued until 3:15pm when someone turned off the faucet. Even had sun before sunset. Emptied gauge of 0.42", which gives us a total of 4.62" for 3 days, not bad - helps combat the Drought.
