3+ inches in 24 hrs.

Here in Texas (near Waco) we are getting some much needed rain! Slow steady rain for over 24hrs. and a 100% chance of rain today. My water bill is loving it. I have a huge St. Augustine front yard that I water 3 days a week to basically keep it alive. Our ditches and creeks are full. Garden is all purcked up. Chickens are enjoying the temps in the 70's. Supposed to rain a few more days too. I sure hope so.

Heck yeah, lucky! I love rain in the middle of the summer, if it ever happens that is.

We had a good rain come across Tomball yesterday!

 

[w_r_ranch]

That great Cody! We got .38" yesterday & .03" today... All the rain is northeast & the 'pop-ups' off the Gulf are sliding east of us.

We're still hopeful here, there is a good chance everyday this week.

I got about one-tenth inch of rain Saturday afternoon and 1.1 inch last evening. We needed it bad and I am so thankful for it.

 

[Cody]

Well, we have reports around the Waco area anywhere from 4.5"+ to 6"+. Hope y'all down south of me get some more today.

Had a good steady rain most of the day yesterday! I really need to get a rain gauge so I can keep track. There is nothing like coming home from work and sitting in the Man Cave drinkin' and watching the rain. Oh yeah, and watching The Rifleman...!

 

[Cody]

That's what I did! I sat in the Garage with the radio going and sipping a Ziegenbock.

Funny, Man Cave = Garage for me too. The only room in the house my wife gave me And I am fine with that!

My man cave was my 16ft.X 16ft. shed. It was awesome. Had rope lights,couches,poker table and a window unit. Drink,smoke or whatever we wanted. No kids and no women. Now it has Kayaks,deer stands and a Riding mower in there. I had to settle for the garage. Better then nothing though. Every now and then I put the window unit in there and have a brew day. Even mop the floor! :0

Get yourself a Ambient-2080 weather station. It is pretty accurate once you get everything calibrated.

The unit was installed about 1 1/2 years ago & has worked like a champ. I find myself looking at it for the 'local' weather more often than I ever imagined. Many of my neighbors have made comments & are utilizing it to determine whether to make the drive out here or stay home & save the gas.

The ranch's station is also online at Weather Underground

 

[finkikin]

Holy cow that is a technical thing. I like it!

 

[w_r_ranch]

Here you go, everything to replicate my exact setup:

Ambient Weather WS-2080 Wireless Home Weather Station

Ambient Weather SRS100LX Temperature and Humidity Solar Radiation Shield

Ambient Weather EZ2-35W2MC Weather Station Pole Mounting Kit

 

[finkikin]

Just under $200 for material, not bad at all.

 

[Cody]

Freaking Awesome! I seriously need to come visit one day. I could learn a lot.

 

[w_r_ranch]

Guests are always welcomed here. Sometimes we even make it up your way... on the way to/from CO.

I thought the same thing. Looking at the pictures I just assumed it was going to be far more expensive than $200.

It was when I bought it... about $400 total back then (the story of my life).
