Before the heavy rain came in Saturday, we got 2,000 pine seedlings in the ground. Still have 1,000 to go. Unfortunately, the loggers haven't been able to pull the logs off some of the areas I want to plant. Guess I'm going to find out just how long pine seedlings can stay viable in a climate-controlled cooler. I've received widely varying opinions on that.
Longer range models suggest no serious rain until a week from Friday, so I'm hoping nearly two weeks of drier weather will help.
And by the way, our concrete-hard chert ridge-top roads absolutely went to pieces once the soggy weather started in early February. And they held up so well during January...
