We finally have a good chance of Rain tonight!! 80% last time I looked. It’s been 162 days since we last saw a raindrop fall. I hope they don’t miss this forecast:( if it does rain I plan on standing in it and getting soaked, but I’m not getting my hopes up to high. It’s all in the Lords hands and I know HE knows what he’s doing. Praying

That's almost half a year. Hope you get some. A good nice and slow all day rain would help.

Yeah. Dry here. I cannot imagine God controlling the rain. So will pass on the prayers. But rain will sure be welcome when it comes.

The average rainfall in Kansas goes from a 16-18" area in western Kansas, to a 44-46"area in southeast Kansas.

I think I saw it has been 180+ days for Dodge City since any measurable rain.

We normally get around 36 inches a year up in the north east. It has been since Oct that we have had anything of substance. We got one little ice storm over winter that left close to a half inch, but it and most of the other trace amounts have just evaporated. One thing can be said, it was the nicest dirt trapping conditions that I can remember in my 71 years! Now it's time to rain!

Tac20 another thing to remember is that KS, OK, and TX have higher evaporation rates (on average) than us up here. So what 25-30 inches of precip in se SD or nw IA can do for crop production isn't what it can do down there.

You Kansan guys I hope you get your rain. Low commodity prices with normal production is tough enough. Low commodity prices and below normal production is a double whammy unless a drought is expansive enough (area wise) to actually affect the markets.

Grandpa always said “it doesn’t have to rain “, and all the old timers around here always joke that in the time of Noah and the great flood we only got a 1/2 inch out of the whole darn thing.

We had an old family friend that grew up in Oklahoma during the dirty thirties. He said it was so dry the Red River only tested 10% moisture.

Praise the lord. 1.25 of rain and now it’s snowing!!!!!!!!! It’s beautiful boys grin thanks for the thoughts, prayers and concern. It’s been a long wait and a bit stressful to say the least.

No rain gauge out but I'd say we r well on north side of 1 1/2. It's a blessing. We will at least have some grass to turn out on in a couple of months. No run off and ponds are drying up but it's a great start.
