Another day of heavy rain. We are at 148% above the amount of rain last year from the same period! But we are at 81% of our annual norm. And the Sea of Galilee is 1.48 meters below the full line. But the rains aren’t finished, and it’s snowing on Hermon. Hermon’s accumulated snows will add to the water table of the Kinerret until about Apr or May. Will we make it to full? I’m hoping we will.
While in the south, in our sweet spot that gave us the earliest barley last year, they are running at only about 65% of the rainfall totals of last year during the same period of time…..meaning they are the contender for the earliest barley again this year. They are also below their annual norms at 31%. BUT it’s not over until it’s over. We’re still in the wet season. So we watch.Updated Jan 20, 2020, 5:58 PM
