Heard Lake Lillian had 10"s of rain. Lot of rain in the nw corner of S.Dak and some drains to Minnesota.
Yes the area I was generally referring to was Willmar to Granite Falls. The crop insurance guys will be busy. There was water spurting up like a fountain out of field tile spots, Unreal what the man made ditches looked like. Further down by Marshall looked better
The bulk of SW MN did not get anywhere near as much rain as the Willmar area did. South of the MN River, the most I've seen cumulatively is in the 2-3 inch range over the last week. It was above 50 degrees overnight all but maybe one night--so cooler, but not that cold, and wet, but not terrible. Just enough rain to keep the hay jockeys and recreational mowers from hammering the road ditches. Looks like we'll have another 3-4 day span of rain next week, but with overnight temps above 60.
SW MN overwintered a ton of birds. There are chicks on the ground. It's shaping up to be the best year in a long, long time. And for what it's worth, the best hunting last fall was in the areas that got 15+ inches of rain in late June.
