Finally rain

Meowingkitty — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 19:44:12 GMT

After 110 days of no rain and only raining 5 days this year it is raining in Arizona. Beautiful gray skies, chilly and wet. Nice to see something other than sunshine and blue skies (and heat).

@Meowingkitty. That's what we have today in the Albuquerque area but we have light snow instead of rain. One of my neighbors on the Next Door app got this picture of this morning's sunrise.

Yeah it's nice but it's just dribbling off and on in my area. I want something I can hear on the roof!

Beautiful picture! We will be getting snow here in Colorado starting tomorrow night. But not much. Locals call it an 'Albuquerque Low' and that usually means some snow for us. We need it so badly. It's as dry as the moon and the fire danger is so high.

@SilleeMee @Kachina624 we've had grey skies here all morning, but just looked out and a few flurries are falling from the sky... not sticking but ANY moisture will help....DW

@Meowingkitty

I'm also in AZ and enjoying the rain which started during the night. My area did have some rain a few months ago but they only count the amount that falls at Sky Harbor.

The latest drought monitor map, released today. The SW region is so dry.

I just checked our rain gauge, only .1 inch but still 😀.

We were lucky and had a half inch in early November so it hasn’t been quite so long for us.

No wonder...it is on the right. I must have skipped that day in school, lol

SO looking forward to this snow tonight into tomorrow here in metro Denver. Looks like a little more on Tuesday too.

I was happy to see rain too. We got more than a dribble, it was raining so hard I couldn't go for more morning walk.

Southwest here...west Texas... and we have been under extreme drought for months!! Our usual rainy month - August - was dry!! One day of rain in October, about 1/4 inch and nothing else.

But Wednesday the Dec. 9th, we finally did get some. Though it was minimal, it was off and on during the day!! Am not crazy about over the top rainy weather, but we really need some moisture!!
