Did I misunderstand my science classes in junior high?
I thought you had to have evaporation of ground water
to get rain. Something called “The Water Cycle”?

Water evaporates from the world ocean, lakes, rivers, isolated seas, and, lo and behold, the ground!

Rain forms when warm moist air moves in from one place to another and encounters colder air.

Today's snowfall ~ widely spaced around thenation ~ trivial amounts really ~ hit 34 different states over the last 2 hours. That's a sign of little moisture in large air masses ~ just local stuff, evaporated mostly from lakes, rivers and the ground ~ in the presence of cold air.

Drought continues.
