Wasn't it supposed to be dry down here? I appreciate the generous rain over the past few weeks but the 10-day forecast still looks a bit foul for some of our best "season" :P

Please do not put that evil on us, Ricky Bobby.
Don't taunt Mother Nature into throwing us into a drought.
It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

Sounds like you have little experience living outside of Texas.

Lake Somerville is six feet below pool level. La Niña still has a strong grip on this area.

I think the La/El Niño effect is sort of a scientifically accepted thing. Or at least until a few weeks ago.
Then welcome to the La Niña Deniers Club. Glad to have you.doubledog said:So was blood letting..mhnatt said:doubledog said:

We have a pond, that when full is around 14' deep. It is completely bone dry (it is normally down this time of year, but we are told it still had water at the height of the drought in 2011, and this is the first time we have seen it dry- as well as several other local ponds in our area) . We still need WAY more rain than we will be getting this week or likely even in the next month.
Also OP, as someone who grew up on a farm, this is the first time I have ever heard a "farmer" complain about getting rain. Normally I hear "we really need to get crops out of the field, but I'll take rain any day. It can only help next year's crop"

Happy to have it. Everyone in the county had the hay down and out a couple of weeks ago. This time of year is always unpredictable. As they say, make hay when the sun shines. It's not just a cute quip.

I think your emoji choice reflects the satire, but for anyone else seeing this it's worth mentioning that looking at model runs that far in the future is typically not very accurate. Consistent agreement across multiple runs and models can help indicate that a certain pattern is more likely, but models are basically never 100% accurate at 15 days out.Tailgate88 said:
