I thought it might be nice to have an area to post up your local area weather and keep a running track.
Just today, well last 36 hours, we've had 4.65" of rain here at the house. On the news tonight they were showing some all time records. We've had a months worth of rain just today. So far for the year we are in 2nd place all time for total rainfall since Jan 1. Records go back to the 1870's. More rain coming tonight.
It has been raining here nonstop for months. Getting hard to get in and out of my house. My 2wd F-250 will not make it. Good thing we have the Subaru. Temps have been up and down, one day around 30, the next 70.

Sounds a lot like what we've been having since around thanksgiving. We've already had 25" of rain since Jan 1. Our yearly totals average around 50".
Haven't done the data research but listening to NOAA on the radio, they were talkin another couple of inches our way. This is the worst I have seen it in the 12yrs I lived here. You can't get to the creek behind my place it's a lake now. Just glad both places are on high ground, watch your trees people, they have a tendancy to fall down in this mush. We have some windy days ahead.
Be safe.............the night is your friend.
Our ground has been mushy thru the fall season and right through the winter. Tons of snow then high temps. then rain. Luckily our house sits atop a raised mound of earth. Water flows to the S.E. side of property sometimes leaving a shallow pond effect. Soil is totally saturated at the moment. Until we get some warmer days in a row I either walk horse shoe driveway or the berm at the back of property line to get to my sheds or man cave / wood shop.

Belay my last, the bubble burst and it's all going around us now. BP's probably going to get the rest of it.

It stopped raining for a while from around 5 till 8 or so. It's pouring again now. Heard a little thunder earlier. I've saw more water pooled up and run off than we've had in the 25 years we've lived here.
We have one low spot next to our neighbors driveway and a tile that runs under his drive that 12" diameter. We had so much so quick that filled up and went over his driveway and into a pond he has on the other side. His pond topped and was running over into his dads pond on the other side of it. Some wild weather for sure.
Got about 3' of snow now, and after a week of -10/-25C, it feels like Spring... No not really, we've got another 6-8 weeks before it'll start warming up, and we'll definitely hit the deep freeze again.

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
We ended up with another .96" of rain over night. 5.61" from the whole event in about 48 hours.
Its beautiful today, low 60s. But very gusty winds approching 40 mph at times. The upcoming week is forecast 50s and mostly sunny.
Been having high winds since early morning . 25 to 60 mph. Mostly on the high side . In open area ; the hawk is screaming.It took down part of t.v. tower antenna. Dangling by the t.v. wire. Secured all items that could possibly fly away. Will probably climb tower and cut loose after this passes.
Good thing I remember how to do a good PLF. ( parachute landing fall )
