In the 8 years I've been here it seems like it. I remember a few years back (2014?) we had a rainy spring and the summer before that there was a drought. Anyway, I'm wondering if it necessarily means a bad winter.

Indeed. Guess I’ll bow out of the weather discussion over on your side of the time zone!

I'm in Gillette, and it's been the rainiest summer I can recall, at least for the past 20 years. Usually I have to water my lawn constantly from mid-June until September, but I've only watered maybe a total of 15 hours all summer, and that was only in my front yard. Front and back are both green right now and have been all summer.

Even the buffalo grass on the prairie has stayed fairly green all summer! I don't think I've ever seen that before. I travel all of NE Wyoming every couple weeks, and it's the same way all over, from Ranchester to Beulah and Newcastle to Wright.

spoke yesterday with the Director of the UWYO Ag Research Station in Wyarno [just east of Sheridan]

he said that while total amount of rainfall is up slightly, it is the more even distribution of the total over the summer months that is keeping the prairie green this time of year - which is unusual
