    I'll take moisture in any form. I don't want another summer of watching radars hoping for any chance of rain.

    As much as it sucked to be wrong with this one, it is another 0.70" of liquid, which is good.

    We could use another dozen or two like it, but still good.

    Not sure but it didn't really seem like the ground froze much to begin with.

    I'm in WI, sorry. Definitely frozen up here, the run-off was so bad the couple rain-following-snow fun times that we had flash flood warnings.

    That is what she said when it arrived.

    As much as I hate snow, we need a lot of moisture to replenish the water tables. The past couple of years have been brutal.

    That's kind of the way weather works.

    Far from a soils expert, but it appears a lot of area south of I-80 is right on the edge, based on average 4-inch temps.

    Buy it now so you can enjoy it while trying to determine if you need to buy more. You cannot go wrong with this methodology.

    Probably just didn't want to say "Texas or panhandle hooker..."

    No if you want a name the next one will be more like the clipper variety.
