the Backyard Rain Gauge

Filed under:

No votes yet

Now that spring is finally here, it is time to break out "the Rain Gauge" once again. Throughout the summer of 2008, you will find the official National Weather Service rainfall totals for the city of Chaska posted within this forum. And, of course, you can always pull up a chair in the backyard and visit with friends about the weather, recent storm damage, any weather related phenomenon that you have seen, and/or just about anything else that you would like to talk about!

May started out wet this year, with Chaska receiving 1.54" of rain between May 1 and May 3. It almost seems as though you can see the grass turning green right before your very eyes! Soon our neighborhoods will be filled with the delightful sounds of buzzing lawn mowers and churning tillers....

What a beautiful weekend! Saturday (May 3) started out chilly, but it ended up being a nice day for 'Christmas in May' activities in Chaska, with a high temperature of 55 degrees. Sunday was even warmer, with a high temp of 68 degrees. I saw a lot of neighbors out in their yards this weekend - a sight that I had not seen in 6 months!

Boats on Prior Lake and fishermen galore on the shore! A full parking lot at the dog park! Bicycles, scooters, runners and, yes, even a gentleman on his riding lawn mower!

That's what I saw -- It was definitely a well-rounded weekend!

More, more, more!
