BTW, about 24 hours before our rain started, the forecast was for about 0.7 inches of rain. We received 4.02 inches. Don't count on the forecast for precipitation.


Amazing how inaccurate it is. I use climate.com to get rainfall results after a rain event. It’s been fairly accurate through the last few years. I’ll be up at the farm later today, and compare the rain gauge vs climate.com..

Climate says we’ve had 10.6” YTD at the farm, 16.2” here near St Louis. We had a lot of .5” easy rains early in the year. Then that one big one (with runoff) in late March.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
