The drought situation has expanded over NWFL over the past week. We now have severe to extreme drought conditions. Rainfall totals over the past year are now 20" below average for a lot of our area. Don't expect much rain over the next week to improve things.

A trough of low pressure will mosey into the NE Gulf over the upcoming work week. It has a 20% chance of developing into a tropical system over the next 7 days. Regardless of development, rain chances increase quite a bit by mid-week

@MitchpRTaggie Phenomenal job Mitch. So many memories - the T Junction, the Munday triangle, Tribune, Scott Ranch w/Dead Man Hill and the Old Disk Field, Sweetgrass checkpoint, Yak Hanager…. But, mostly the professional job Scott always provided. You did a great job of capturing it all!!
@TheHippieFarmer@MitchpRTaggie@JoeWecker He is good in general but they have had some continual health challenges. Sometimes hard to visit with real long due to voice getting weary fairly quickly. Linda has had two back surgeries and they are not traveling south for winters anymore. Missy was with us when we went.
@TheHippieFarmer@MitchpRTaggie@JoeWecker I missed you by one year. My wife and I went in 1999 and I went back in 2001 a short bit to help after Scott’s accident. I was just visiting with Scott this week.
@MitchpRTaggie @PupCup345585 Well, I do believe you are correct now that I think about it. You have a better memory than me but I do recall that now. Time FLIES!! Good luck with your presentation!!
@MitchpRTaggie @PupCup345585 Scott and Linda are the best!!! My wife and I went in 1999 and then I went back to help in 2001 after his accident. Fine fine fine folks!!
@GaFarmer80 Don’t give up hope. One day at a time. One step at a time. One hard push to get through at a time. One smile at a time. One hug at a time. One tree at a time. One trailer and one bale at a time. One acre at a time. You can do this and you will get through it.
