I meant to say, "Good for you!" You got all OUR weather. We got--I think--.2" rain total for the month. We're over 8" low on rainfall this year.

That can't be right for Odessa. Or for San Angelo where I'm originally from. I remember August with almost every day being 100 degrees or more. One year we had 53 straight days of at least 100 degrees. Dave |

The El Paso/Las Cruces received 13" over a 72 hour period. That is twice their normal yearly rainfall. And it still raining off and on. We saw pictures of El Paso that made us cringe and cry. I hope your rain was slow and soaked in to replenish the aquifers. We in the PNW are on schedule to break the record for the driest summer. Mother Nature is definately cranky of late. |

[QUOTE=Aoibeann] I hope your rain was slow and soaked in to replenish the aquifers. [/QUOTE] Aquifers? Is that what feeds the conifers? Guess I still have a lot to learn. |

Yup, aquifers do feed the conifers. |

I can remember the days when it would rain here in the pines and hardwood forests, just barely. We got 2/10's today. Interesting fact, the highest concentration of cattle in America is in Texas.....the highest concentration in Texas is East Texas.........the average herd size is around 20 but lots of them. I believe we have about 100 head still here, nothing to eat. Mike White Oak, Texas |

Mike I remember spending a two week job related trip on a well sight near White Oak back in 2002 and it rained non stop, and I do mean non stop for 6 straight days. It was not a hard rain but a constant light rain. We could not get the truck off location due to the mud |
