I like the rain but not these temps, my poor little tomatoes out there in 41 and a cold ass rain

My lettuce really likes it though.

I would have thought Van Buren and Davis Co would have gotten more than that, when I looked at the radar on KTVO, looked like a lot of rain in the area. FYI our granddaughters softball game was canceled last night, and we are hoping the make up game for tonight also will be. Why are they have makeup games for 9 year olds?

Another thing I shake my head when you have 9U baseball and softball tourneys and all the kids get Super Bowl type rings.

Current conditions at MSP airport

44 degrees
Rain Fog/Mist
Winds East at 22 mph, gusts to 35 MPH

No end in sight for the rain. Looks like it will last all day. It's just a miserable day

My spinach will be going nuts, I'm sure!

4" of rain in my gauge in Grimes this morning. Was at half an inch from the day up until about 5pm so 3.5" from then until this morning.

Lots of standing water in the pothole country east of Ames. Gonna probably need a bunch of replanting.

I doubt much, provided no more rain. Given how dry the soils were overall the water should drain fairly quickly in most areas. Generally both soybeans and corn are good for at least 48 hrs of standing water, likely more given the cool conditions forecast for the next few days.

1.3” since it started yesterday afternoon. Just right.
Go Cyclones

Ridiculous how fast that thing came at them

Crochet them some little sweaters

 

[Cyclonepride]

Golfed last night. Wasn't terrible I guess, but the first two holes were kind of a soaking mist and obviously a bit chillier than you'd like for this time of year. Glad that stopped somewhat quickly.

.7” for week in SW Iowa in water restricted area.

Not ideal, for sure, but better than nothing. 1.8" in another part of it, but outside the Nishnabotna watershed.

In my location, incessant, lingering rain is not helping my mood.
