Any of this rain make it into the Mississippi?

[Silvercreek Farmer]

Been raining pretty much non-stop here the past 4 days and more on the way. I wouldn't argue if someone told me we had gotten 6+ inches ...

Getting tiny dribble, heavy mist is all, and light snows, up here by the top of the river.

Can walk the bottom of my ditch, only the third time in my life its been dry.

Going to be minus 15 or so here by Monday. Not precip to measure in the forecast.

The Minnesota river is fairly big, and it is flowing (under the ice) about as low as I've ever seen.

According to the map, the streams around Morganton, NC, form the Catawba river which joins the Wateree river and then the Santee river in SC which then flows into the Atlantic ocean. The just mentioned names are names of Indian tribes if anyone is wondering. The streams around Asheville, NC do flow into the Mississippi. The French Broad river at Asheville flows into the Tennessee river which joins the Ohio river which joins the Mississippi.

I'm a fair drive south of you, near Spartanburg, SC and I just emptied 2.2 inches out of the rain gage. Temperature is 42 and going down with a wet North wind.

here too....got boot-sucking mud everywhere around the barn and pasture. Told Dh, dont be surprised if he found me sucked into the ground somewhere with my feet up in the air with no boots on. I think it is worse than having snow or ice its so nasty here...even the rabbits are getting cranky...lol

Now, if it is warm enough to have mud, you might want to reconsider on that....

Been near zero every night, been walking like a 90 year old to get across the yard here on the ice, and had 2 cattle fall down on their ice patch, one I was able to save, the other one I didn't see in time, she didn't make it.

While I enjoy living in Minnesota, ice has not ever been fun around here, as it doesn't go away for a long, long time when it comes.

Unusual January, been cold, but a few days have gotten to 35 degrees and we get these very light rains, which soaks up the couple inches of snow we have and turns it into ice, anywhere we drive ot walk, the compacted snow has turned into sheets of ice.

So of course, a person needs to walk in the places we've walked and driven, so of course we have to walk on the ice....

Your right Paul....ice is no fun( I should thought before I typed), in fact it scares me because I had a car wreck on a patch of black ice back in 2009, lost control...truck jumped the ditch, hit a tree, swung the truck and put it back on the road going the other way. Broke my leg completely off the hip..2 yrs later it still wasnt healed and had to have hip replacement.....so yeah I take my words back..lol

We did have a couple of days last week in the 70's
