Would have rather had snow! - Rick Mulhern - 03-11-2016 Untitled by Rick Mulhern, on Flickr Photo from opposite direction: Untitled by Rick Mulhern, on Flickr Our local Volunteer Fire Department guaged 24" of rain over a 2.5 day period. And late this afternoon we got SUNSHINE for the first time in ten days! PRAISE THE LORD!! RE: Would have rather had snow! - Semtav - 03-11-2016 24 " of moisture in the form of snow and you might not be able to see the roof of your house !!!! Thats a lot of moisture. Sure wish you'd send us 2" of it !! RE: Would have rather had snow! - Don McDowell - 03-11-2016 Look at all the new fishing holes. RE: Would have rather had snow! - Mike - 03-11-2016 It's been wet out here on the "wet coast" too, creeks and rivers are high but containing things for the most part. Shoot sharp, Mike RE: Would have rather had snow! - Lumpy Grits - 03-12-2016 Rick-With the soil you have there. What's your SWAG on how long will it take to soak up that standing water? We got over 1/2" of rain here Friday, and that's rare for the Mojave Desert. Gary RE: Would have rather had snow! - Rick Mulhern - 03-12-2016 Lumpy If you'll enlarge the photo by clicking on it you can see a white stake out at the road way. Just to left of that is a highway department 30" concrete drainage pipe and the lake on east side of the road got so high the water backed through that opening. I'll have a vertical closure gate on that pipe across the road when the lake drains down. The water in this photo is already down to the highway and by this afternoon late it will be drained out of my yard...if the lake continues to recede! Normal pool stage for the lake is at the base of the cypress trees seen in this photo whereas right now it's up against the highway shown! Untitled by Rick Mulhern, on Flickr Enlarge the photo by clicking on it and observe in the background the boathouse of a friend on the east side of the lake! Water is over the platform and at normal pool stage the water is six feet below his floor level! Oh...I've seen a few 12-14# bass caught out of this lake and 2# white perch are common!! RE: Would have rather had snow! - Lumpy Grits - 03-12-2016 DANG Think this is gonna be an extra 'buggy' summer for you?
