The total of .74" was great help.   And the cool, cloudy conditions of the last 3 days have been very helpful.  However, all this is just keeping us in place and from conditions deteriorating even more.  A few inches down in the soil there is no change.  And rivers/streams have not been helped.  We did sow some seed for a cover crop in the garden just before the rain and this weather has been good for that.  Really hoping for more rain the next few days!
