Dry as a bone here too. Outdoor burn ban starts here tomorrow and runs through the month of September.
 
You can have some of ours, I'm sick of of it...
normal average winter 41"s total for here, about the same in snow here too
usually all in Jan. & Feb., like 60 days total
I keep a bucket out on my rear deck handrail & I measure it, every season
the weather reports for here is unreliable & inaccurate, they just guess
they care about the valleys or shitty's, don't care about the sticks

the past 4-5 winters now, it's been starting in Nov. or early Dec.,
still raining into late April early May at a min.
used to be 2 months now like 5-6 (they are cloud seeding I'm 100% sure)
it's 80"s-100"s, (2-3 times or normal/average for decades)
we had a 125"s of precipitations a couple years back,
the photos below

been her for 20 years now, the past 5 have been really wet & cold/snow
like 2-3-4-5 times the norm

this is more the norm, melts off in a week or so, a lil' rain in there too
then snow again & again & again, then more rain, it's nuts

Snow in the Sierras - started getting deep.jpg


& 25 feet of snow accumulations, it was like 50ft, some 20 miles up the road

this was May 4th last year, big ol' silver dollar sized flakes

followed by rain, lots of it,
an atmospheric river they've been calling it
I call it sucks, I don't live here because the winter, crap
I live her because of it was, 10+ months usually of sunshine :BangHead:
collector car weather & the good conservative lifestyle, short winters...

Rained here yesterday afternoon for the 1st time since April 7th. The Ochlocknee river by me is so low you can almost walk across it. Georgia needs to get
a lot of rain for it to rise up again.
 
Dry as a bone here too. My yard is crunchy except where the septic tank drains. On the plus side, I haven't had to cut grass in over a month and it's been easy to get roofers out to give us replacement estimates.
 
Yea ,,,,, but you got to go the distance?

> Rained every day, 45 days straight.
> No sun or blue sky 30-70 days during winter.
> Moss ....Grows on anything that does not move for 20 days.

Unbearable heat .....82 degrees

I know you all haven't had as much rain as usual. But it just ain't dry here, it's parched. We had .31 inches of rain here last Saturday. That was the 1st measurable rain we have had since the 1st week of last November! And at that time we received 1/10 of an inch. Right now we are going on the 5th worst dry spell we have ever recorded. Doesn't look good for this summer.

At least it's a dry heat in the desert.
