Same here in SouthEastern Wisconsin. Ground is hard as a rock. June we had a monsoon, and Aug we did not even get 1 inch of rain for the whole month, Got to yell at my son he works for the National Weather Service in Lincoln, Illinois. They are very dry down in the corn & soy bean belt also.. Maybe we will get another 99 inches of snow this winter to make up for no rain, LOL Shane21st Century Analog Boy said:Yeah, it's absolutely unreal. It's like the African Savannah here in NE Wisconsin. Hot, dry. The ground is hard and completely and utterly PARCHED. It has threatened rain BIG TIME about 6 times and has not produced since early July. It is beautiful but MISERABLE. It feels exactly like Vegas in April. I said a month ago lets all do a rain dance for the midwest. I'd gladly take some of what Gustav's giving New Orleans again. I found what I think might be virgin hunting ground and signals are too unreliable without some moisture in the ground.
Good idea. I have been hottong the beaches also/and is nice & dry . Easy to sift in it. Shane19Blockhead64 said:Do what I do, go to a public beach or a construction site or some place it doesn't matter.
