Rain Is Better Then Snow...



...PROLONGED PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL MAY LEAD TO FLOODING EARLY
NEXT WEEK...

A stalled frontal boundary extending from the Plains to northern
Great Lakes will focus a corridor of nearly continuous rainfall,
occasionally heavy, across the Upper Midwest from Sunday night
through early Wednesday.

Widespread rainfall amounts will range from 2 to 3 inches through
Wednesday, but a corridor of 4 to 6 inches could set up somewhere
across southern and eastern Minnesota into western and northern
Wisconsin.

This rain will cause rises on rivers and streams and will likely
lead to flooding in some areas, especially in the corridor of
heaviest rainfall. In addition, lowland flooding may also occur
as the ground quickly becomes saturated. Keep updated on the
latest forecast for any future watches and warnings.
 
If this was snow we would more then likey be looking at feet of 
snow vs inches of rain. Rain is always welcome, but it will make
it hard for the farmers to get the harvest finished with the corn, 
and soy beans. 

Stay dry and warm my friends. I see there was a tilt to the right
in D.C. The Left lied and throw a fit, but it didn't work.

We're having heat here in the Mid-Ohio-Valley. It, too, beats snow.

thanks to God, maybe if we keep praying He will put His Hand back over this country and heal, cleanse and protect the nation and all of us.

Down here near the coast in Texas, we're receiving daily showers. Usually, this time of the year brings clear, cool days, with dry conditions. Instead, these daily rains only add more humidity to the afternoons that are around ninety.
