The McLeod County Fire Chiefs Association and the McLeod County Sheriff's Office are urging citizens to use extreme caution when conducting controlled burns because of the dry conditions. They also said if the conditions worsen the authorities will be forced to implement countywide burning restrictions. This was reported in the McLeod County Chronicle on April 11, 2012. |

This weekend we expect no precipitation, which hasn't happened since March 30th!
This past period of rain/hail/snow/sleet has added up to over 3 inches all at once. The farmers in our region have some concerns about seeds planted that have washed away and will have to be replanted. There are areas where farmland has standing water with obvious washout. |

We haven't had any rain in 5 days. The only thing that I found in my rain gauge were two spiders settng up shop. Yesterday we had winds of 20-40 mph gusting to 50 mph. The dirt and dust from the area farm fields eclipsed the sunlight yesterday. The towns of Hutchinson and Gaylord reported 1/2 mile visibility due to the dust/dirt. |

We had dime sized hail(1/2 inch)between 8:36 p.m. and 8:38 p.m. It was very little that happened at the start of the torrential rainfall. According to Tom Skilling at WGN weather in Chicago we had thunderstorm clouds at 50,000 ft. We had continuous lighting for hours after the rain. I deployed my hail pad and captured some dents. I will send to Colorado University for analysis. |

Not enough rain for a drought buster but enough to lower the fire danger. |

Gusty winds overnight while a cold front was passing through. Still continue to water trees this fall with encouragement from the media to do so. My robins are having a jolly old time bathing in my water sprinkler! |
