Dry Creek
January 2, 2006
Pretty good gullywasher with 4.15" of slow, steady rain measured for the past thirty-six hours, bringing our New Year total here on Dry Creek to 5.39", a little more than a third of our seasonal average rainfall. A major mindset reversal as we are no longer worried about stockwater, canyons running and stock ponds full or filling. No storms predicted for the next week, but dense fog in the Valley. Typically, we're above the fog here and some sunshine now will really help the grass. Unless faced with some unusually cold weather, the rain ought to get us over the hump and into warming weather by the end of January when we could use a little moisture.
36-hour Totals:
Dry Creek: 5.39"
Greasy Creek: 5.90"
Paregien: 5.36"
It will be a couple of days before the roads dry out to check the accumulated totals either side of Dry Creek, but we've got plenty of rain for awhile, as good a Christmas present as we could want.
