How dry is it where you live

[mtelkhntr]

I was making sales calls the other day and stopped at a farm up north and commented to the gent how dry it looked.
He looked at me and said, "It is dry. Remember in the Bible it told about it raining 40 days and 40 nights?"
I said I knew the story very well.
He said with a straight face, "We only got two tenths out of that one".
That's when I just lost it. I've been laughing ever since.

Now we are back to normal.

Since then - lite sprinkles. Sunny right now.

I live in the high desert. 2800 ft. elevation. Nothing grows on undeveloped land except desert scrub and cactus. Some areas have numerous joshua trees. A lot of tumbleweed. a variety of cactus. Normally during mid day the humidity is around 10 to 15%.

Here in NE Fl we got the other 8 tenth of that 40 days and nights of rain the farmer gent spoke of.

Last week it was so dry I had to pull the bottom of the well up and wring it out just to give the canary a drink.

It's so dry here that the rattlesnakes are carrying two canteens this year.

In northern NJ it hasn't rained in about 2 months prior to yesterday. The leaves are turning and falling already. We did get about 3/4 of an inch yesterday with a little more coming today.

How dry is it where I live? I live across the lake from Seattle. We don't do "dry." At least not between October and May.

"It's so dry here they have to spray the catfish for ticks".
It's usually that way but not this summer, there has been a lot of flooding and all the lakes are overflowing.

Well this IS Wyoming. We are all the way up to 4 1/2 inches this year. Cody did have 8 inches of hail back in July..but that is more'n 45 miles from me. Had a T storm go by 2 weeks ago..plenty thunder lightning and wind... no rain. As someone else pointed out..the rattlesnakes are toting canteens and heading up to Montany. No snow left on the mountain across from home

It is soooo dry here in Southern Nevada that when we go rabbit hunting all we do is aim for their canteens. If one hits the canteen the rabbit just gives up, lies down and dies!............

We always seem to be changing. First we get too much for too long a time and them we just dry up and blow away. It seems like I remember when It used to be clear and bright for a few days and then rain a day or so and maintain well balanced patters of rain and shine. It hasn't been like that for along time now.

It's dry in here and in the grill where the chicken is smoking. Otherwise the usual downpour started right on time (4:00 pm). Sun hasn't been out all day, glad I did the yardwork early in the am. Joe

It's so dry here, the oak tree in my front yard is begging dogs to stop by.

I live on The Olympic Peninsula in Washington. The Olympic Mountains have less than 14% of their normal snow pack this year. This was caused not only by this summer's drought but also by the warm winter we had last year which meant not as much snow pack as usual formed so we were in trouble even before the summer started.

The weather has been awesome all year though so I'm happy for that.

 

[mike from st pete]

According to the weather guy Tampa is so far ahead in rainfall this will be one of the top ten wettest years.
With four months to go that is saying a mouthful.

Yup, its been way drier than normal over here in eastern side of WA too. The central part of the state has had record wildfires due to the lack of rain pretty much all summer.

We had a few showers last weekend, and that's about the first rain we've had in a couple of months.
