Wtf is a chiclet?

I thought it was those little square pieces of gum you can get from Mexican restaurants and stores.

First rain in 19 days. Quarter inch so far, better than nothing.

Varieties ?

I think 1 was a macintosh and 1 honey crisp. My wife bought them. I'm more concerned with my plum and peach trees. The peach tree has a lot of peaches forming already.

We've had about 7 to 7 and a half inches in the last 3 weeks.

I’m loving these pop up storms

Storms all around me...and yet bone dry here.

My lawn is crunchy.

That rain around 5am was no joke as well. Was coming down hard here in S. Ankeny.

 

[ISUcyclones11]

I think Ankeny got more than the may rain total today alone

[Ms3r4ISU]

It was very spotty. The "official" rainfall (measured 7 miles from here) was 0.01"!

How many drops is that?

 

[FerShizzle]

3+ inches since midnight in north Ankeny.
