Default Rainfall updates.

Any new rainfall updates from the year rounders? We use to have a gentleman post occasionally on TOTV. Any news on how he is doing?
We are getting some much needed rain today in Wisconsin. I am missing my home in the villages counting the days until I can return.

Had 1 1/2" of rain yesterday pm at our house in Hadley. Also had a heavy shower around 1pm today followed by on and off sprinkles since then but have not checked the rain gage yet.

Thanks for the information. Should save some $$$$ on the water bill which seems high to me every month.

In keeping with the request by the original poster:

Had just under 1" of rain over three days the end of July at our house in Hadley. Decent t-storm came through late yesterday, 8/6, that gave us heavy rain for maybe a couple of hours and then changed to a light drizzle for a couple of more hours. End result was close to 1 1/2" of rain. That with the watering restrictions being lifted should be a big help to the golf courses.

Thanks for the update. Yards should be doing okay regarding the water. Sure hope the water sensor is working okay.

Wesh TV said we had 0.16 in of rain yesterdayin their 5 oclock news.

THEN the rain came at 1" /hr and stayed for 3 hours and it never crossed into Marion County (how does the Villages do that?). 3" of rain !

Everything is green and lush today!
