It's just going back to normal though. There's been a several hundred year wet spell. It is a desert out here.

Northern NM is mostly forest and grassland, not desert....droughts are a part of the normal cycle and have nothing to do with global warming.

WOW! We are having a terrible drought right now (Virginia) We have a river that is drying up. I will soon be mud. Usually this time of year, even tho' it is low we can play in it and be refreshed all summer long.

Not so this year. The water is unsafe and the fish and critters are dying. We have not had a good winter snow in quite a while either. Makes ones spirit feel oppressed. I'll be glad for a good long rainy spell. Our forecast shows no rain in sight. Of course it is hurricane season upon us but the land will not soak it up if we get heavy rains that leave quickly. But, of course we all know these things. I'm just feeling sad for the land and the farmers. Helpless is a good word.
