You may be onto something? Lol. It makes it sound like folks are out there filling their pools and watering their gardens on March 18th...

well... given another 70 years of unabated CC and maybe that will have become common March practice.

River flood warnings, basement flooding, and moderate drought here. Ponds are full. Can we DOGE those maps please? 
Clearly, , they are weighting precipitation deficits way too much. I get maybe since 2024 we’re a little below normal precip wise…But when you get decent precipitation over the winter and there’s nothing to absorb it, It goes right into the ground reservoirs, etc. At least around here right now I don’t see any signs of any low level reservoirs or groundwater issues, etc. Those maps are absolutely horrific.

We’re in bad shape going into the spring up here. Most of the snow has melted and there has been no mud season or puddles in the backyard. Can’t remember the last time it’s been like that here. This little bit of water in the soil will be gone quickly when the plants start sucking it up.

Keep the rain coming.

Man we euro this weekend. That would be fantastic. 

I'll take it! It's my birthday weekend, so would be quite the gift. I have Friday off work as well and hope to spend some time outside

If we have a dry spring this will look a lot worse once last spring is wiped off the yearly total.

IDK, almost 40” of snow on the ground a few weeks ago and almost 2.5” of rain yesterday and I don’t see much in the way of runoff while driving around and not many basement pumping calls came in yesterday…..I think we are drier than you think

That’s why I said at least around here.

People are glomming onto drought because there are no other headlines to make this engagement a dopa hit right now, Scott

It’s real and it sucks up here…not as bad south of the NH border.

I hear ya on the maps though…we’ve made fun of them for a decade. Water pouring out of hillsides yet they paint everyone in D1.

I think that was the year of the May 18 freeze. Summer got a really late start that year.

Meanwhile it’s July, lawn drying up, pond so low it’s unveiling dugout canoes from the Wampanoags and I’m in the normal zone because of a surplus of rain in early April.
