    This weather is beyond a sick joke. At least there was the 2 or 3 nice enough days a month ago when spring was so close to being here. This is just annoying and useless for anything

    I hope the 49 comes through this time. The later part of the extended forecast has been showing 40s and even 50s for over a month and keeps changing as it gets closer. Id be happy with just cutting out the snow for a few days. I guess on the good side it wont be a dry spring

    It was rain for us. Up to 9 inches. No school today because many major highways and most county roads were under water. Some of the worst flooding I have ever seen here. One of my farms is mostly under up to 6 feet of water. I had a really nice two acre green plot there that was supposed to be a great spot to kill some turkeys. Now, it will be better suited for fishing. lol

    Schultzy, its the field you and Coop saw the booner in. The stand you sat in would have water more than half way up the ladder.

    We got 3 inches of rain in less than an hour yesterday afternoon. That's all I have to complain about.

    Not making light of the snow or massive rainfall totals. However, in the grand scheme of the drought that destroyed the midwest last year, is this not natures way of making up for averages. It sucks, but sure beats another hot, dusty, dry spring and summer.

    Wow Fletch!! I can see that happening there In that low flat spot. Your sheds are going to wash away. lol! 9 Inches of rain Is ridiculous. I'll take the snow Instead. Best of luck with everything.

    Edit: we got about 10 Inches total yesterday. That's about 24 Inches of snow In a week. What a crazy April this has been. I've never seen this much snow this late ever.

    Lakes will be high if they ever open this spring.

    Just a beautiful April morning, and 3 hours of snow blowing and shoveling. Hopefully we'll have a week without so this can go away. Guess on the good side wont be so dangerously dry as some springs.
