WHOA! 3 inches of rain - from one storm!

We had 20 inches in 6 hours overnight at my place last April. Flat land around Houston, too, so it doesn't run off anywhere for days or weeks.

Problem is not so much the rain as it is the rain melting snow... Lake Tahoe rose about 1.5 ft over 10 days with that 3” of rain). And sometimes, it’s just the snow: hard to dig out from well over 10ft of heavy snow. Not complaining though... rather have too much than too little.

We have this one area in our backyard where everything else drains. We’ve had so much rain that it has killed the grass and is now a mud pile. Just a few drops of rain and it becomes a lake again.
