Its about the same here, I was out in the fields Friday, and then woke up to a dusting of snow sat. morning. More snow is in the forecast for tomorrow, and they are saying 3-7 inches. Not what we need now.

We had several guys planting corn last week. I hope they got stock in the seed company cause it's been wet and cold for 2 days now and probably have 4 more about the same. If you get any new snow outta the storm tomorrow, please don't let it melt off for at least another week. My brother wanted to haul things up here cause the rivers gonna be in his yard and I'm afraid the trailer wheels will grow roots once they're here.

Sorry guys. I feel for ya, but it got up to 84 here today, and should hit 86 tomorrow. I kinda miss the cooler weather. I have this condition where my skin stops holding water in after the temp gets up over 80.LOL! ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |

I has about been "HOT" here in Burns Kansas, we are really dry and have been in the 90's but now it is colder again. Every one has in their corn and some of it is already up and since then we have had a couple frost. I never know what the weather is going to do next |

Loveland Ski Area, about 100 miles west of me just passed the 500" of snow mark for the season. Down here on the plains it's a lot drier, although we have had 1.3" of moisture, mostly rain, since last week. The guys down in SE Colorado can't get a break. No rain, lots of wind and 10% humidity. Not as bad as Texas tho.

| Frost this morning after 5" of rain since last Friday. We were already wet before the rain last Friday. This is near Terre haute, Ind. The Wabash is going to be 6 ft. over flood stage Friday. Or customers will be putting on Nh3 and planting and we'll be spraying, spreading Fertilizer and all the other services needed at one time. It's all going to be at one time. |
