According to Climate.com. We’ve had 20.3” at our place in St. Louis, and 12.7” up by Mark Twain Lake. So I did exaggerate a little.

The beans are out, he no tills the ground, so most of what comes down, runs off. The alfalfa wasn’t as generous.

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.
