I'll be happy to turn off my sprinkler system tonight. My yard is barely hanging on and my water bill was over $400 last month.

It's impossible for me to have that water bill because they only let us water once a week.

Polo is the dumbest name ever for a hurricane. When we repeal the 19th Amendment, we should return to naming all hurricanes after women. Name them after angry Democrat women and Liz Cheney.

I just drove from Phoenix to Tucson in one of the heaviest rains I've ever been in. It's coming.



Can we actually please have a winter this year instead of just one weekend?

No

Don't know but it rained hard all the way from Phoenix to Deming, NM. I think northern Arizona is supposed to get good rains which would help.

The problem here is - reservoirs east of a Fort worth to San Antonio line are, in general, 100% full.

https://waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/statewide

That means those lakes are going to have to let it all go. In west Texas - it's another story.


I'm skeptical of that data. I drive by Lake Lewisville every day and it is not even close to 60% full, let alone 82% full.

I would love a winter that is mostly 50s/40s with not much freezing.

Fall is nonexistent and winter is less than 1 month in Texas. Pretty much always been like that.

Well, you are going to love this. Hurricane Nolo is out there near Hawaii.

I guess YOLO is next.

So in Brazos County, we are going from basically two rains in three months to this.


No one likes a bragger.

I would have killed for two rains in three months at my house.


The one in early July was decent, but the one we had about six weeks ago was less than an inch. It's not as much of a brag as you think.


I got rain before the Missouri State game too

I'm on a well system and we had restrictions. I gave up on the yard, it's only green around the back patio (I have about 2 acres) and the rest of it is brown straw.

I've been out at 10 pm at night many times trying to keep my flower beds and newly planted trees (yeah, dumb time to do that but I lost a large crepe myrtle) alive.

I'm looking forward to the rain this weekend, just stop by 6 pm Saturday for the game.

No, we've had some cold winters, like 2021 with two large snows in Bryan. 6 inches on the second one.

It's usually several cold weeks/months (not snow, but colder), not just one like last year.

I live by Lake Lewisville and walk my dog at Stewart Creek Park several times a week. I realize the lake is down, but 80% is reasonably accurate based on my observations, from an elevation standpoint it is down about 6 feet. I'm wondering if you are seeing one of the "arms" that is flat and shallow and thus dry when the lake is dropping?

Of course it's going to rain this weekend.

It's opening day of deer season. Can't have that without the world turning into a wet mudhole. Tradition.

Wasting water on grass is idiotic. I've never understood this thought process.

The grass will come back. It always does.

On a well and have no grass. It's nice not having a water bill.

It can always be worse. 10 days ago, a tree limb fell in the power company's right away and broke the power line. That ignited the dead grass in my backyard and burned up both of my outbuildings and everything inside including my mowers, chainsaw and tillers. The fire killed two large pine trees and the insurance policy is capped at $500 each including debris removal.

Well, I like a buffer between dry native pasture and my house. Also a buffer from the dry blow sand to the house keeps a little dirt out.

That's incorrect. It will die and leave bare spots, especially when there's no rain and your city is under water restrictions.

Elephant Butte Reservoir is at 2.1% with nearly 2 million acre-feet of available capacity. None of that water is making it as far as El Paso.

It's impossible for me to have that water bill because they only let us water once a week.

Who's "they"?
