Good for you south boys!
Take all the rain you need.

We are so saturated in central 1/2" of rain this morning and the ground can't absorbed it.

7/10 here. More towards town and south but sure nice to see. Just a nice rain. Was starting to get hard on top. Good moisture underneath. Last 2 days I had pulled 2 shims out to get it to stay @1.5” deep.

just under 3 inches here

That's impressive, heard the same amount around the milk river area.. we had a good 40mm, were on life support

 

[snopro]

We are at 1 1/2 right now and still raining off and on. Big relief to get the biggest single rain event we have had here in 3 yrs now.

2-2.5" is what I am hearing in north central sask last night, with some thundershowers rolling through tonight again...

It was nonstop thunder and driving rain for about 4 hours last night, went to the worksite this morning to be greated by ducks in the standing water!
