    Getting a nice long duration soaking rain today. Will go a long way towards reversing the effects of the recent winds.

    This cold spell looks to last about another 10 days and then things should warm up nicely with frequent thunderstorm chances through early May.

    If we were about 10 degrees warmer this could have been that long awaited mushroom season around here, but should end up closer to normal

    After Sunday we should start into season here, calling for rain then. Until then we're too windy and dry.

    I walked around a several-acre patch of woods tonight... no dice. As usual.

    Can't wait to get in the better numbers. My early season spot is drying up, going to need some more precip within the next week around here.

    Size is getting better, have found 19 so far this year in 3 trips.

    Nothing here yet. If anyone thinks about it take some pics of the area when you find one so we can see if there are possible patterns to look for in new areas. I feel like I am in the perfect spots but maybe if i see the terrain or ground coverage in your area i will learn that i am wrong haha
