We are in pretty good shape out here.
I emptied my 5 inch rain gauge again this morning, as it was full and overflowing. I had emptied yesterday as well. The water was starting to breach the curb this morning, then the village diverted the water drainage and it went down right away.
My lawn should be pretty nice this year, as we have been getting lots of rain now for three weeks. Fortunately we had a couple of nice weekends that allowed me to get the yard work done for spring.
