Who's getting snow already?

it looked just about like that over here on the west side of the state.
plus an inch of rain too boot.
bjrogg:
Same here Kevin. It's supposed too get colder next week mid week. Our coop is hoping to get to 80% harvested by then. They can get hard to harvest after extended solid freeze even if it does thaw out again. There were a few guys trying it tonight. It can't be going good. They are getting pretty desperate. I'm hoping we can get the rest of ours Sunday. Supposed to rain again Monday and then get cold again

Whew, that's a lot of rain! Where are you? Pacific northwest I'm guessing?
BJ, hope you can get your beets in before the ground hardens up. I grew up in the Bighorn Basin (northern Wyoming) and it was always a race to get them in.
Pat B:
I live south of Brevard, NC. We have the second highest rainfall in the continental US only next to the Olympic Peninsula. Our normal amount, over the last 25 years has been 70" but last year we had 140" , this year not so much. (R
WhistlingBadger:
I had no idea it was so wet out there. I went to school in Portland, Oregon back in the 90s and we usually didn't see the sun from November until about April. It was always a challenge not to get depressed, being from cold but sunny Wyoming. It's all what you're used to I guess.
