Looks like the Canadian was right after all. We reached up a little under an inch of rain. Good soaking stuff. I'd take this week's weather all year long. No question about it. Sprinklers and A/C OFF, just where I like them! 8-)

Just emptied 1.33 inches from the rain gage. If we keep this up, no drought worries for our part of the State for a while... ;)

Managed 2.5 inches south of town, so thankfully can keep the sprinklers locked up.
