Waterlogged here in Farner, TN

I am not complaining, mind you. Two summers ago, the lack of rain caused a lot of wells to go dry. Nope, let it rain and rain. We live on high ground, so no chance of flooding, but I have to say it is really soggy here!

As I type this, we have had 2.48 inches since last evening. (I installed a electronic rain gauge at my father in laws apartment, next to our house). Also got him a wireless weather station, so he monitors everything. It's like having your own personal weatherman!

That's great you're high and dry. And hopefully you won't have a dry summer.

But seeing you now have a personal weatherman, is he more accurate than the real ones? ;) If so you are truely lucky. Me I use the stick method for forecasts. Dry it curls up and wet it uncurls. Usually on a hot dry day in the summer I spray it with the hose to mess with the neighbors mind. :whistle:
 
Actually, the weather station we got for him is very accurate! More so, in a way, because the tv station we watch is in Chattanooga (about 1 3/4 hours away from here), so the measurements are more tailored, I guess.

Spent the day in Millington at the Navy Base there and got soaked a couple of times getting in and out of the truck. It's done nothing but rain here in West Tennessee since yesterday and supposed to keep on until tomorrow.

Like NC, I'm living on a hilltop and darned proud of it right now.
 
At least it won't last for 38 more days Willy. ;)

At least you guys live on high ground. We get a really big wave here and we're scrod.
 
Pete,

It's not an air base anymore. The airfield is now Millington Regional and the rest of the base on the other side of Navy Rd is what the Navy kept. It's now called Naval Support Activity MidSouth and BuPers moved from DC to there. They also moved EPMAC up from New Orleans after Katrina. Those two should have been at the same base years ago.

We're definitely waterlogged here in Eastern Tn, cute weather girl :amen: says to expect maybe 3 inches total

Got 2 inches of white stuff overnight, now it's sleeting. Calling for about a foot of snow by tomorrow.

Ahh, the joys of living in Vermont.

Brian:faint:
 
It was still sprinkling when I went to bed last night, but today it's warmer and the sun is shining.
 
Brian, come on down here where Railrunner and I are. It's wet but no snow or sleet. :d
 
Water is ankle deep in parts of our front yard from the rain--now it has changed over to snow flurries. Ice on I-40 along the Monterey grade. But its clearing off here now...
 
The record snow fall in Spokane, Washington, was set in the winter of 1949/1950 and that has now been broken by the amount that fell in just December. We had over 2 feet on the the garden shed roof up north closer to the Canadian border. Now it's been raining for a few days. I, too, am on the high ground, thankfully.
 
Dried up overnight here and the sun was out today. Now the itsy bitsy spider can come out to play.... if it wasn't so darn cold. :costumes:
