Speaking of the great lakes. There is still ice on some bays and floe ice on Superior. The all time records were shattered this year.

Judgement.
Obama should have enough money stashed away to rent Cheney’s weather machine.

This is of concern to me. It’s one of the reasons that we are growing more of our own vegetables this year.
In other news, Kansas crops are not being destroyed by hail storms out of the rockies and pheasant and quail populations are expected to flourish........
We had quite a bit of rain in eastern Kansas the last couple of days. You may want to take us off the drought watch.
And the other half isn’t.
And yet here in California we are still building a high-speed rail system to provide “transportation” for our illegal alien farm worker population instead of building more water storage capacity. California does a big portion of feeding the nation, but it can’t do it without water. Still, we have Jerry the Fairy forging ahead on his toonerville trolley “legacy.”
Planting more than EVER in the veggie garden this season. Enjoying fresh asparagus these days. :)
It's been worse.
Parts of the area north of Houston had several inches of rain this week and we had 3 inches south of Houston. I would think that would change the drought ratings a bit for us, too.
see that darkest red part in TX, that me... we haven’t had any real rain in close to 4 years.....it’s almost beyond comprehension, we don’t even see clouds that look like they will rain anymore
my dad has farmed the same land for 70 years here and he has nothing to compare it to ...not even the drought in the 50s was close to this
the local paper said the driest 4 year period on record was 1908-1911 and we’re currently 8 inches less rain than that ....and much drier than the dustbowl 30s.....
people are at a breaking point and we just all shake our heads and pray ...we know one day it’s going to rain again ...and it may not stop for a long time ...but, man it’s tough right now ....it’s unbelievable
Texas has always been a very dry place, before we started building lakes and inventing AC, who’d want to live here besides us crazies?
How much of that drought is government created?
I don’t know how bad your drought was but in most places it will take more than a few inches to come out of the drought. Lakes, rivers and underwater aquifers have been depleted and need to be refilled.
The dry was what I disliked most about Texas. I love the rain and would be OK with rain pretty much every day.
Where I am from in western Kansas, the drought has been ongoing for 10 or 11 years. Just keeps getting worse. PFR!!!
