The back yard was so flooded I almost went to Harbor Freight and bought a pump!<br /><br />We had to sandbag the garage door because the water was starting to go in the garage!<br /><br />So far today we just have some big puddles in the back yard, but then we hav[en't received 4" of rain in one storm like back then!<br /><br />As of 1530 local (2330 UTC), we've received .78", and it's still raining.<br /><br />As long as we get a good snow pack this year, things should improve slightly, but who knows how many "wet" winters we'll need to replenish the aquifers.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-87927632788399455322014-12-02T15:19:31.949-08:002014-12-02T15:19:31.949-08:00I was actually thinking about you and Wirecutter i...I was actually thinking about you and Wirecutter in this rain.
