Winter's last bite!

Rumor has it that most sinkholes around here are due to farmers over watering making the underground streams cave in.
When i lived in south Alabama my shallow well ran dry and the guy who drilled my new well told me the water table had fallen due to farmers sinking irrigation wells.
My shallow well was just over sixty feet deep, my new well went almost two hundred feet.
 
Winter brought us snow twice, then in no time it got hot. We spent a week setting new high temp records for feburary; and rain, lots and lots of rain. My shop is up the hill from the house and for the first time we’re having days where it’s too wet to drive a vehicle up fourty feet of a gentle incline. Walking on our lawn is like walking on a sponge. It’s raining right now and is forecast to continue unabated until saturday. We spent most of January in the teens and twenties, then most of February in the sixties to low nineties. Now we are back to high thirties and low fifties, and it’s been almost almost constantly wet since new years day, snowing, sleet/ice and now plain old rain.
 
We had a rare occurrence here in Sac the day before yesterday. I was surprised the roads were relatively accident free.

This was out my back door at work.
Yep...it took late February/early March for us to finally get December/January weather.

A lot of rain in the valley/snow in the mountains today.

8 to 16 inches expected here tomorrow, and I doubt that's the last one we'll see this year... ...gotta get that snowblower running today...
The view out my bedroom window 8:35 AM - maybe 4" already - expecting 16 more hours of this:
