I just moved to SHSU back on 8/20 and as I was coming here, I noticed all the burn ban signs. Seeing how Bell County doesnt have this and knowing that rain usually comes this way from the northwest, I'm curious to know if the bans are lifted after some rainfall here. I know in Bell County where I'm from, if it rains about an inch or so, they lift the ban temporarily.

i see rain i see rain nope not really it was a waterhose still on lol well this winter is going to be cold and wet

All I'lve gotten is acouple of thunder showers

No chance of rain BoB?...... Toss out all of your computers and just call me bob i'll tell you when its gonna rain.

We keep hearing you say 50 or so days without rain. When we received .6" on Sunday, 07/19 we had been 11 weeks or 77 days without any measurable precipitation. I know that 50 or so days is bad, but we have never gone this long without any rain. Please report that some of us are EXTREMELY DRY.

Toying with starting a betting pool as to when we will next receive at least 1 inch of rain in BCS. Takers anyone? My own perusal of the NOAA websites suggests we may not see one inch of rain until September, barring a tropical storm. Anyone care to suggest a spread?

I love how when storms pop up, they either form north of us and head north, or south of us and head south. We just can't catch a break.

I think we all need to get on our knees and pray! To often we leave the Man Upstairs out of the equation, and that's our problem! Join me and pray! I believe God will provide!

THESE ARE TOUGH TIMES, EVEN MY RAIN GAUGE IS UNEMPLOYED. WILL WORK FOR RAIN

Don, I agree with your opinion for snook. LOL

I hate to admit I am just 1 mile outside Snook since Snook is such a rotten little small minded town but for location purposes I am 1.6 miles SW of Snook. I had a 106.5 on the digital weather station out here. Yikes! Still plenty of water in my stock pond and some of the pasture forage is still greenish but man do we need rain. Talking to my hay providers they are all getting very worried that this year may be worse than last year. They are all starting to be very circumspect about what hay will cost next month and on into the near future. Don

I cannot believe that there is no burn ban in Burleson County as well. We are parched and in such desperate need of rain. I washed my car this morning hoping that it would help it rain....but the doppler doesn't look very promising for Somerville. Hopefully people will know how dangerous the conditions are and won't start a fire or use fireworks. My apologies to the Vendors of fireworks...but we have to be extremely careful because of the Extreme dry conditions.

We also got a nice little shower last night and it was WONDERFUL. I hope we get some more of that rain tomorrow during the day. I don't know about the rest of ya, but I could definitely go for an all day long drizzle. So could my greenish yellow lawn for that matter.

I cannot understand why the Burleson County Commissioners have not put a burn ban in effect. Every county adjoining Burleson and the counties adjoining those have been wise enough to see the need for a burn ban. No rain extreme heat= HIGH FIRE DANGER!

It's been so dry that I have been watching reruns of Hurricane Allison.
