Yep it sprinkled at my house yesterday for a whole 3 minutes, I went out and stood in it, 1st I've seen in about 10 weeks.
Last year in NW Alabama we had a 2 month drought, this year we have had heavy rain 2 or 3 times a week up until a week or so ago and it looks like the rain is coming back next week.
If the rain kell eps up here in NE PA I will have to find a recepie foe water proof black powder. :haha:

It's been raining here every day for over two weeks. Rivers are high and swamps are full. However, the lightning fried my modem a week ago.
The grass is getting out of hand because my mower bit the dust on Tuesday. I wish we could send some of the rain out west where they really need it.

My yard "squishes" when I walk across it. We've had rain every other day for a month. Sometimes just a thunderstorm (we've lost power about eight times in the past two months), but sometimes 2" a day.

Been too dry up here to grow anything. But its humid as Alabama. If I had any time to shoot, I'd see my fouling turn to blackstrap by the third shot.

We are getting some rain here on the east side of the divide but it looks like we are heading back to the dry!
Hope it starts raining on your side. We can still get more fires like the Spring fire.

N AZ reporting .......
After the worst scariest dry drought hell like period in my 51 years here we got Monsoons right on time. My son lives around the horn of the mountain from me and he had 10" in three days. We went from whining about drought to squealing about 4" a day weed growth :grin: Summer Monsoons in N AZ at night...Ahhh Nothing better than a walk down a dirt road just after dark with a slight breeze, a slight drizzle, a beer or coffee and a good woman. Enjoy what the Garden Of Eden was like and watch the tremendous lightning storms.
We get our water from snows and rely on winter to replenish the lakes and wells. We usually get 120-220 inches of snow a winter. Last year they said 34" but at my house it was 8 :shocked2:
Hoping all of ya get relief asap.

Not sure if its too late for horn growth but I have a trophy hunting buddy drew the same tag as me and he was whining bout antler growth being down the one time he draws trophy tag. He needs to shut his pie hole as he also drew trophy elk. Spent 10K on a fancy inline from gunwerks.com.
Heres hoping my $350.00 cabelas .58 shoots a bigger deer :blah:

You might try that over east, them Denver boys will buy anything.
In western Colorado they done seen a drought before, there is this here thing called irrigation.
We'll be fine keep your hay :blah:
For weeks up here in Alberta, the weather forecast has said "showers" nearly every day, and we are as dry as chips!
Hay crops are half of last years at best. We can see it raining to the north and south of us, and we get a few drops, not enough to wet the surface.
Land awful hard and dry.
Last time it was this dry was in 2003.

Today was LITERALLY our 90th consecutive day of rain here in NE Florida.
I've been keeping track because I have projects that need to be done and I can't do them til it dries out.
