We have had a nice string of rainy days lately. Monday we recorded 0.42 inches. The total since December 1, when our terrible string of day days ended, we have had 2.16 inches of rain. Most of the rain has been slow and gentle, just what we need.
The forecast is for a cold front to pass through, dropping the temperature to around 19 F by Friday night. The next rain is not expected until next Monday. We are still in a drought, but you couldn’t tell it by the soggy conditions.
Really good to know you are getting that much-needed rain. Here in Humboldt County we are out of the drought, unlike the rest of parch-dry California. We are already at 44% of total average rainfall after only two months into the season. I wouldn’t mind if it slowed down a bit!
Robin — As of Thursday, this part of Georgia is still in exceptional drought, but apparently county officials are considering lifting the outdoor burn ban they instituted a while back. Also, according to news reports, the Rough Ridge fire is considered over.
