Frank Lumm in Wheatland said his rain gauge showed 2 3/8th of rain last night.
Kenosha Airport showed 1.89 inches overnight.
Anybody else have a reading out there?
From what I have been reading, it sounds like this may have been enough to save your lawn for a while.
However, it seems less likely that it will help area agriculture. I talked to a Salem farmer just this morning that said the rain is about three weeks late to do much for their crops in the field.
UPDATE 12:56 p.m. — Mike Calvalenes reports 2.7 inches in Paris overnight. Paul Brown Jr. of Twin Lakes reports his gauge showed a total of 3.80 overnight — 2.40 as of midnight and another 1.40 over night.
UPDATE 1:16 p.m. — Sam reports 4.02 in Salem.
An overnight total of 2.7″ in Paris.
We had 4.2″ in our rain gauge this morning in Salem.
I think Sam’s rain gauge is too close to his neighbor’s sprinkler ; )
3.48″ offically @ the Paddock Lake Waste Water Treatment Plant.
The plant got struck by lightening as well.
