Rain and more rain

BowEd:
I'm sure others in other parts of the country have experienced this recent excessive rainfall lately.We've gotten more rain in the last week than through the whole summer total.No real damage here yet but the news shows a lot of flooding in other parts of the country.
Around here we are used to that coming this time of year.We call it the fall rains hopefully in time to have the crops benefit from it before harvest.This amount is a little excessive though.
Also I feel concerned about the people in the west with all of the fires.Sure wish they could get some of this rain.

Pat B:
Ed, I understand your concern about too much rain. Normally we would get between 68" to 80". We used to have the highest rain fall in the continental US, next to the Olympic Peninsula. This year we have had over 94" already, this month over 17". Since we have lived here in the Southern Appalachian Mountains our highest amount was 115" but that was after 3 hurricane remnants pass over us dropping over 28" that September. We live in an area of the 7 headwaters rivers of the French Broad River, the 3rd oldest river in the world and has always been an area of heavy rainfall.

We've been getting just enough rain to keep the grass growing like its spring time.  I'm getting tired of mowing and raking.

mullet:
We've had rain almost everyday since March. We had over 2' the month of June and now the little Tropical storm that blew through dumped some more.

This! It’s rained more here this summer than any in recent memory, if I don’t mow every 3-4 days my yard looks like a hay meadow. I let it grow a full 7 days lady mowing and my mower struggled to stay cleared out while mowing very slow. Usually this time of year my grass has been dried up for a long while  and mowing comes every 2 weeks.
