More Rain
Well, the rains have really been plentiful over the last 2 to 3 weeks. The pattern has shifted such that we're getting periodic, beneficial rains. Today, we've received another 1.35 inches, and we could get some more tonight. The yard needed to be mowed, as garbage collection is tomorrow. It was still wet, but I plowed through it anyhow. Well, the grass wasn't so wet, but the ground sure was. Soggy in fact. But, it's done, and looks great. The humidity over the last week has really been oppressive as well. Dewpoints have been in the mid to upper 70s. That's very moist. In fact, so moist, that when you walk outside, you immediately break into a sweat.

Van,
I'm over here in NW Missouri getting ready to leave for PA to start classes here in about 2 weeks. I measured 4.5 inches of rain on the vantage pro thursday. I went out spotting during the evening storms as there was a hook on radar, but did not see anything although it looked terribly ominous. I know you've core punched before, but I couldn't do it this time.
Core punching is definitely not something you should be doing. I've done it mostly when I've had realtime radar imagery on board, and did it one other time without. Scary either way though.
Definately agree, I'm not the core punching type just because everything can go wrong if you do and you never know what you'll see on the other side.
