We're getting it up here in Oklahoma as well, a good, light, steady, soaker.
Fuck it’s been drier than most can remember here in eastern TN, send it our way
It's coming. The front is moving this way. Sunday evening to Monday sometime. Too late in the season though. I've been feeding hay for weeks already.
We got over 7 inches just Noth of us last night, that's in the lake Buchanan watershed ,so the lake I'm on will come up some , the llano river is rolling , so lake Travis will get some of that ,
Been trying to get a trench excavated for the last 3 days so we can get conduit in the ground... But it's too wet to get the HydroVac truck in to get it done.
We sure needed the rain though so I won't gripe too much.

North central Idaho we got a lot of rain that started in August. Unusual. And now today (10/26) we are getting snow.
Thats good, I read a few weeks back they had restricted swimming in parts of the Llano River because of bacteria.
We'll get it, this evening in NW Louisiana. We've had a good bit of rain for the year, but it's been way dry and hot for the past five months. Farmer's Almanac says we'll have a very cold, very wet winter, but they were wrong about summer. Meteorologists are like medical doctors... a bunch of overpaid guessers.
@ironman56 - where are you situated , my property is between Burnet and Lampassas - looking at the radar it shows around 2" of rain damn I need it my creek has been dry for 18 months , my ponds have been dry for 12 months
I'm on the south side of lake Buchanan, Golden beach, sounds like your around lake victor.
I remember the drought of 1980. Started feeding hay in late June, early July. Kept right on through October and was running low for my winter supply. Then it hit, perhaps the wettest and semi warmest November in memory. Had green grass almost knee deep in every pasture. Didn’t feed a sprig until deep into December. It saved me. (And my cows)
And rain up here and in Oklahoma is helping out Lake Texoma. I like to fish there, at times.
My grandpa sat beneath the shade of a post Oak,
Pulled out his watch and he looked at the sky.
Wondered out loud "Will it ever rain? Can't remember when it was this dry."
And he looked at his wife and his dusty children,
And he pondered the fate of a farmin' man.
You make a crop and it ain't worth nothing.
The next year the weather got him again.
And it was dry in 1930, and it was dry in '32.
I don't need a New Deal handout,
A little rain will do.

I dunno, talking rain and some of you guys talking about hay got that started in my head.

Ironman, I'm in HIll Country too.
Nice three days of rain. Guadalupe river came up some but not the hard flood we need at this point.

I am west and south of Fort Worth, thank God we got almost 8 inches rain in last 36 hrs. Only way to break a drought is a flood. Almost there. Stock tank was dry and now it ran around this eve. Won't have to sell any cattle now!
Yup, been feeding hay since July. I bought everything I could find. Cows are selling high so I dedicated some to the cause do I could keep the best. My coastal fields were looking rough and this rain has for sure helped.
This was what I woke up to this morning...
I lived in Llano for a bunch of years and remember the flood circa 2005 that nearly washed the town away.
Rivers are the lowest I’ve ever seen in middle Tennessee. Relic hunters scouring the banks on refuge land.
Good to hear. My sister lives on Burnet side of the lake and currently can’t even see the lake due to all the lake bed growth and the fact that the shoreline has moved almost a half mile away from their property. They will be happy.
Often I will fish near the bridge over the back water (closer to the warden station.) Sometimes, the creek west of there near that other bridge. I have thought about the pads, too.
No harper is about 80 miles west of me , my sisters son and his wife live in harper though.
Finally getting some No bullshit rain …we’ve been under burn bans last few weeks.
Low temps today was 78 f , low Sunday 30 f
So much for easing into things .In the deep south. Cactus 
popping up in front yard and tumble weeds rolled by.

Be more than happy to send some wet stuff your way. The 50 degree swing from 70’s to the lower 20’s mid week is going to be brutal for a week or so.In the deep south. Cactus
Sounds like a bunch of old farmers in here.
BTW river is up about 10 feet this week.

Century plant, supposed to bloom once in 100 years. I planted a big one which has bloomed twice in twenty years.In the deep south. Cactus
When I went to boot camp in Orlando many moons ago , seemed like it rained 20 times a day ,15- 30 minutes at a whack. Sun popped out , got steamy fast.
Not anymore, sold the farm, moved away. Only regrets, some darned good deer hunting.
However,
Built a cottage on a lake when the prices were cheap, never looked back. Too old to get hit with Capital Gains, Unless biden does one of his famous executive oder/rules. However, probably die right here in 30 to 35 years, maybe longer, so, it may be a moot point anyway
It's 9* right now.
We were the first place in the state to hit 0* for the year, but didn't even come close to the record of -26*.
I'm hoping we keep getting pounded with snow. It's way cheaper to snowmobile when you're not finding trees under 3" of snow.
