Wet Weather

[Doc]

I really didn't think that the weather has been very wet, but I still have huge areas of lawn that I can't even get near because of soggy ground. Some places I have standing water. Anybody else having any problems with waterlogged lawn, or is it just a local problem?

Forget the low water table due to the snow-less winter here. I have a small pond that is over-flowing. Also, I have a well that is pushing water out the top of the casing. So any water shortages that the dry winter may have caused are certainly all better now.

Its wet all over the place by me. Lots of places I was able to get to just a week ago are flooded out right now.

Well, when the heck did we get all this rain? yeah, I've seen some showers here and there, but nothing that would explain all this water. The only thing I can figure is I must have slept through some heavy gully-washers during the nights. I will say, I think it was Saturday morning when I was heading for town, every little culvert had logs, gravel, leaves and other debris laying all over the road, so something ugly had happened during the night. Good thing I'm a sound sleeper ..... lol. But now for the second week, there are huge places that I still can't take the mower. These areas are going to be a darned jungle by the time I can get out there to mow them.

very wet here too, i made some god awful ruts with the skid steer in places that are normally dry and had dump trucks back thru.

I really noticed it since the torrential rains we got last week, I think on Wednesday night. Im down in a valley, so it stays pretty wet alot of the time, I just didnt think we got that much rain.

Got a lot of heavy rain last night. I'm wondering what I am going to find out there when it gets light .... lol.

Yeah it wounded like it was raining pretty good for a while last night. I am already writing off some spots to turkey hunt this year, as the ground is too wet to get in there.

A repeat of May 2011. So much for the corn seed planted. Fields half under water this morning.
