The “exceptional” drought of 2011 was a very small event in the greater scheme of things. At worst, 27% of the country had drought conditions compared to 80% in 1934.
Well, the usual situation for droughts is that they break. They do not sort of alleviate slowly.
So here today, gone tomorrow is probably exactly right.
Given NOAA forecasts of a two year La Nina, the drought may not break any time soon.
I thought pink meant HOT, oh, only in Hansen’s dreams…
Was looking at some weather obs in central Colorado. Several stations are getting thunderstorms with heavy snow. The snowpack is still growing in places!
The mountains have been getting very heavy snow the last two days
