[AT] Weather

[Grant Brians]

Ralph, those are dramatic photos. They look like the bayous of Louisiana! I
am always interested in other areas and their trials and tribulations as far
as weather. Not to gloat (despite our challenges this year I love our
weather), but just to understand the challenges other areas have. I hope
that things dry down fast enough so that you can plant and more importantly
harvest and sell your crops this year. Best of luck from rapidly drying
coastal California - we are now irrigating nearly everything as per
normal....

Gene, I read your posting over at the new forum and can certainly
identify with the problems you are having with too much water. Ours is
not from rain but snow melt on top of last years saturated soils. Washed
out culverts and roads closed are very common. I ended up driving 20
miles last night to get home from what is usually a 9 mile trip.
For those that don't visit the new atis forum, here is a photo of my
yard that I posted over at red power . Taken on Monday the 26th.
