So 2012 is the year the drought ends in San Antonio.

Maybe that is what the Mayans meant... lol

2012 is definitely off to a good start as far as rain
so much for the weather morons and their la nina this and el nino that. Mother Nature is just once again doing whatever she wants to do. I wish I had a rain gauge here because there surely was a LOT of rain and my dogs and granddaughter were not exactly loving all the lightning. I had four little friends with me all night long.. and that's not a bad thing either.

I don't easily scare, my big brother spent our entire childhood jumping out and scaring me so I concentrated on steeling myself and not reacting to it so he would stop or at least not get any pleasure from it.

At one point a strike must have hit very close, it was very loud and I jumped out of my skin.
The kids had been asleep for a couple of hours and they all came running out of their rooms. It scared the daylights out of their little bottoms.
Our dogs never seem to really care.

I was driving home last night and saw an awesome lightning storm by Potranco/1604. I pulled over into the Academy parking lot to watch it for awhile. It was amazing. Sheet lightning everywhere!

Not sure how much rain we got up in the Canyon Springs area. My bad but I forgot to dump our rain gage out so it's full. Do know that most of what we got happened in the middle of the night, like around 3 AM or so. Late Friday I had to pick Mrs. K up at the airport. She actually got on the ground right around their scheduled arrival time of 10:30 PM but was held on the ramp as they'd closed it down due to lightning strikes around the airport. Finally got out of there around 11:15 PM and home about 11:45 PM. It rained hard until we got just north of 1604 and by the time we turned off 281 to head west on Evans Road there was hardly any rain. Could pretty well tell we'd not gotten much of that large cell that had passed over the airport.

We are still in a stage 1 drought. Still dry as hell out there and the rivers/lakes are STILL PARCHED. That's how bad 2011 was, folks.

Just went for a bit of a drive around the neighborhood and it felt as though we hadn't gotten THAT much rain. A bit of soaked land here & there, but very little standing water. Soil must be so dry underneath it just absorbs like crazy. Or we just didn't get quite enough rain.

On another note, Happy SNOWNIVERSARY! It's been a year since that snow in 2011: http://www.kens5.com/news/slideshows...=y&c=y&c=y&c=y
