          Hmm I didn't see that this morning.. but I was indoors

          Texas weather is really funky; it's not unusual for isolated areas to get drenched while nearby areas go dry.. oh and rain when there's not a cloud in the sky.
          where in SA are you at?

            They have a saying in Texas:

            " If you dont like the weather, just wait 5 minutes"

            In january, its common to have one week with freezing temperatures, and the next with 80 degree (farenhieght) temperatures. It can go from ice, to sunshine and heat in a matter of a night. A lot of places are like this, but most Ive found to be a bit more consistent in their weather patterns.

              That is sooooo 1692...

              ...besides, this is the south, they burn blacks and queers down there, probably what accounts for that smoke

                How many inches of rain do you get on a yearly basis?

                  well, the average is about 30 inches, but ths doesnt say much, cause like i said, the weather is very eractic. The annual rainfall is usually between 10 and 50 inches tho. The last couple years have been extremely wet. in october of 1998 we had "the flood of the century". The worst flooding ever happened then, pretty spectacualr and devestating. we werent supposed to have another thing like that for another 100 years... come fall 2000 (or 2001... forget), we had an *even* worse flood.

                  Throughout the mid 90s the SA area was racked with drought. Water restrictions sucked, especially when your a kid, adn we had to live with them for what seemed forever.

                    Cool, annual rain fluctuations of a desert, and the average rainfall of a mediterrenean climate.

                    Funky.

                    Usually, though, the fluctuations in the desert circle a different number. 10 inches. More than that and IIRC, it's not a desert anymore.

                      A desert is any area that recieves ten inches or less of rain per yer. Technically Utar is a desert.

                        Where is Utar?

                        ACK!

                          HELLO, IT WAS JUST AN INCH OF RAIN.



                          anyway, you're from Austin, why do you care?
                          The inch of rain is only part of it, the ground here is pretty saturated from, basically 2 weeks of on and off thunderstorms, so any appreciable amount, like 1 inch, does cause flooding because the ground can't absorb any more water.

                          It's still not as bad as last year at this time.

                          ACK!

                                he misspelled UTAH!!!

                                30in of rain, highly seasonal, sounds like the Texas Savanna area, but I thought that was EAST Texas?
