Added another 0.55" as the storm moved out. 3.60 total rain today. Quite a soaker, 24.50" YTD Low tonight forecast at 39. My bottom ground will be colder, maybe even freezing.

3.05" so far today at the Ponderosa and still raining and likely to end around 8PM. It is a soaker and there will be no bottom to many of the roads and fields.

3:30PM and added another 0.70", that's 3.05" for the day and 23.95" YTD. I am really old and forgetful, but I don't remember the last time the Ponderosa got a soaker like this. There will be no bottom to many of the roads and fields and CRP grass. Radar looks like it might clear out about 7 to 8...

Here at noon and dumped another 1.05" from gauge, that's 2.35" for the day and radar forecast shows rain until 7PM. YTD now 23.25"

Here at 7AM and I just dumped 1.30" out of the rain gauge and it is still raining and rain in the forecast for all day. Makes YTD 22.20", well above my 17.50" average. It is total slop at the Ponderosa, which is good for the wheat, CRP, ponds and pastures, but not ideal weather for tomorrow's...

Beautiful pup. Welcome to the forum

What was supposed to be a big rain event only ended up dropping 0.10" early Monday morning. YTD 20.90" On road trips around the general area, I am not seeing any pheasants, but seeing an occasional quail covey in areas that I don't normally see quail. Strange.

The shower Saturday morning produced 0.45" bringing YTD to 20.80" Wonderful my winter wheat.

4AM Saturday November 2, 2024. Rain has started. Forecast is for a wet weekend. Last evening's run across the Ponderosa produced one covey of quail and a lone lesser prairie chicken(the first one I have seen this year here). No pheasants although I do hear a occasional crow of an evening. Two...

Two beautiful roosters in a lush green wheat field. That was it.

Had to make a parts run today and with the red flag warning and RH less than 20% the milo is really drying down. From what I saw today, with lots of combines going I may have to change my prediction of lots of uncut milo fields to mostly cut. There is a little chance of rain on Wednesday, then...

Welcome

A little shower just passed through leaving 0.25" bringing YTD to 20.35"

Some of my farmer friends are not able to cut their milo because it won't dry down. They are waiting for a hard freeze to help them, but for the next ten days the low temperatures are forecast to be 45-50 degrees. There is a chance of rain on Monday morning, which would help the planted wheat. I...

Yesterday was brutal, high winds and blowing dust. Good subsoil moisture but powder dry on the surface. I planted my winter wheat three weeks ago and buried the seed deep to reach some moisture. It is up, but could sure use a rain to settle the powdery surface between the rows and keep it from...

wnb5th- Tell me about your dog. I had one heck of a dog, a Drahthaar .

Certainly not used to this, but it can change without warning. I'll take it while I can.

Shower on Saturday night added 0.70", 20.10" YTD

A little shower in the wee hours this morning at the Ponderosa. Adding 0.45" equals 19.40" YTD Dodge City Airport added about 2" I think.
