Cold Rain

Olathe Ks

Finally we get some rain, nice soaking rain. They claim more tonight, likely snow but I’m not buying it. Hope they prove me wrong.
I was hoping for a beautiful sunrise to compliment the rain gauge but no such luck.

Have you ever used weather underground, one of your neighbors a few blocks away has a weather station you can access for weather information. If you use the web version over the phone app you can find and access historical weather information. Paul

It was a very light rain all day, giving it time to soak in.

Soaker. I don't have rain gauge. Instead, I anecdotally use the water level of our small fish pond, which is way up. Unless, of course, there's a gap between the ice and the water below.

1 and a 1/2 inches sounds like flooding conditions for the desert since your soil is so hard and dense. I remember a light rain one of the times we were there and the curbs and gutters were overflowing. Paul

Nice. We just got 1.5 inches in our area - we desperately needed it.
