I just emptied our rain gauge and it had a little over 3" from the last day and a half
Thats not fun to deal with that much rain, ....i feel really bad for all getting drenched. And trying to manage their animals...........our water levels are getting almost high enough to cover some low roads in our county....the road to the river is flooded from the the boat ramp up about a quarter mile , and that has traveled through the woods , road ditches and peoples yards....we could of bought river front property, lol....thanks i will keep a safe distance ....why ask for trouble, pay double and get zapped with higher property taxs ? Sure do hope the rain quits for you guys and things dry up.

We had a dusting of snow early this morning but all should melt by the afternoon. Supposed to get up to 40 degrees today, will be partly sunny. Tomorrow will be warm-ish(for @Bruce and I, 40 degrees is "warm" lol) and sunny, so should be nice.

I've been sleeping in the guest bed while my son was here and though not terrible, it isn't "home" if you catch my drift.
Yeah, we KNOW your sleeping habit. ;):lol:

Talk about "in this together"...:th The rains are just not letting up for anyone! Some of you have HUGE issues with flood and mud. I see ditches along the roads holding water which are generally dry within a day. Nope, nothing dry for couple weeks. Farmers can't farm! Closer to coast near me, yep neighborhoods are underwater. Even though those with "known" issues that they "plan" for, it's getting really, really tough. This constant thing is so bad.

I'm looking out there and thinking "what to do" :he

We are all sharing these thoughts in the SE areas. :caf It's so not fair. It's so depressing. Just sunshine could "help".

I believe this is an "eat a donut or 12" type day!! :old:D

I actually understand how my goats feel -- just looking out & wishing. :lol:

Like the Forrest Gump caption... Beginning to feel like it.

Yup... as I expected last night... Considered using a row boat to do animal chores this morning. Woke up and it was still dark outside. Heard the rain pounding down on the roof. Rolled over to see what time it was, contemplating going back to sleep for a while only to see the clock destroy that idea... it was 8am. :ep So much for more sleep. Up & at 'em. Caught a slight lull in the rain to go feed the goats but soaked through my footwear and have water/poo mud "collars" around the bottom of my pant legs. :sick 1st wear of these clean jeans... :( Oh well, another wet day in store.

Gotta say GB, sure makes me glad to be living near the top of a hill. Long as I have enough food, there's no need to hurry out and about and deal with flooded roads etc. Hope that flow doesn't wash the road bed out on you. Is there any way you could install a line of culverts at the low point and raise the road bed by a foot or so over the top of them? I mean I don't know if the road is on your property or govt property...
