We have fall rains to endure for a bit though it could snow any day now.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216131219986318633.post-32049828449804597702012-11-20T11:16:03.491+10:002012-11-20T11:16:03.491+10:00Red, your 14in is rain, right? But I guess you'...Red, your 14in is rain, right? But I guess you'd have to include snow in your precipitation totals, as the melting snow probably gives a more important source of hydration in your climate. Once or twice during our rainy season (Nov to Feb usually) we will have a day or two when we get 12in of rain in a single day. Two years ago the rainy season started early (October) and finished late (April) and in those 7 months we had almost 9 feet of rain (2760mm). In December alone that year we had 29in. Needless to say there was massive flooding here in north-east Australia - include a large amount of our capital city. Luckily, we're up in the hills so we escaped the floods. But we were marooned for a few days as all roads down to nearby towns and highways were cut off. So you see, we usually have no trouble keeping our 10,000gal rainwater tank topped up during the summer, and we just have to make it last through the rest of the year, when monthly falls will average just 2 or 3 inches.Chartreusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919069110736697400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216131219986318633.post-83359967590178211602012-11-20T09:50:59.937+10:002012-11-20T09:50:59.937+10:00Congratulations on your 100th post!

We get an average of 14 in. of moisture a year but we have cool temperatures so less evaporation.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.com
