And there are plenty of ponds to be filled to sustain watering as we enter a dry period. Helps the new courses get established.

According to some local weather stations, we've gotten over 3" of rain so far today! Very needed rain. I'm happy.

Sweet!!!

Much needed since we're in the dry season now.

tedquick 11-17-2023 10:32 AM
We had 4.5 inches here in Rio Ranchero. It was a nice, gentle "extended" rain and perfect for ground absorption.

As of this morning (Friday) we have had 6.5” of rain in our rain gauge here in DeLuna. Nice!

Just east of Disney 11.6”. No official inches at Disney, We were in Epcot, new rivers formed and 8’ deep tiny lakes in the walkways. Ferry boats were stopped for awhile due to the rise of water.

Ponds in DeLuna are sadly very low or empty. Makes the area look unattractive and sad. Last year were full and beautiful. Flood those ponds.

I had my snow shovel ready just in case 😂
