Down in Phoenix, and we've gotten close to 4" of rain in some spots of the valley.

Personally, where I Live (east Valley) we got around 2.5"

I have some family that lives in the Miami/Superior area and the videos they've sent are crazy. I've been around Queen Creek many times, but I've never seen it like that.
 
Let’s do this. Bring on the snow.
Not a fan of the cold/snow, but hopefully if this does come to pass it kills off a lot of the tick/mosquito/no-see-um population. They seemed to be more rampant this year than in years past.

The Asian beetles came out of no where this week and attacked the south side of my house yesterday. Literally from zero to thousands.

I just want some snow to get the kids out of the house and go sledding from time to time. If were gonna have winter then lets go full boat and be able to have some fun. These half assed winters weve had the last sever years have been tough.

It's INSANE out here, the QC Wash which i have never seen filled was rushing water.

Ellsworth by the new Mesa athletic fields was completely flooded, they had cars driving against traffic trying to get out... geniuses out here i tell ya.

Knock on wood but the population here is virtually nonexistent this year. Must have been a ton of insecticides sprayed with fungicides this year. Only explanation I can come up with. That or they are still waiting to swarm and piss me off.
 
Weather Underground still showing <20% chance until after 5pm.
You are right. I swear these just said 75% rain from 2pm to 5pm. Although, I may not have been looking at Ames earlier (AccuWeather). That might be a 'me' problem.

That’s always been a myth. Mosquito populations definitely have far more to do with moisture and temps through spring and summer. I’ve also read tick populations aren’t really determined by harshness of winter.
