This summer is sure starting off crazy. Saturday's predicted high for Tucson on May 16th. 74. This is TUCSON in May? Not to mention how hammered everyone is getting in Texas and the belt?
Button down the hatches. When its this nice here...it's going to be brutal there.

When a late El Nino was predicted, the local weathermen started putting out warnings that our area in the Texas Panhandle would see an increase in tornados and severe weather this season. It's held true so far and we aren't even in the May/June time when it really kicks up a notch.
We've gotten a lot of rain here lately so I can't really complain. I remember two years ago when we were already baking (high 90's) and had no rain in sight. I said I'd take a tornado if it would just rain with it and that was the truth.
I feel sorry for everybody up north from me dealing with the snow but I'm loving the rain we've gotten. My pasture is flooded in areas but even if we need to start building an ark, I'm gonna be outside in my waders praising Jesus for the rain. I'll never cuss the rain after sitting out in the pasture over the past two years and crying over the drought that was killing everything.

We got snow on saturday here in Flagstaff. It was a cold, nasty day.... and the first gymkhana of the "summer". So it made for a long, yucky day of riding. But I won my age division. So I guess it was worth it...
RidenFly - 2015-05-11 11:55 AM Red Raider- I can just imagine how you'd feel watching your land dry up like that.
Thanks. The most brutal thing was watching the clouds form and go over to start raining about 15 miles east of the house. You could see exactly where the dry line was by the rain amounts we didn't get but Oklahoma did. You could see it, smell it and almost taste the rain in the air but it wouldn't fall. That was the worst part -- seeing it rain just miles from the house and there wasn't anything you could do about it.
