Macon, Georgia has received more than eight inches of rain the last six weeks, and is listed by the US Drought Monitor as having an exceptional drought.

The only thing exceptional is the level of BS coming out of the US government.

    Yeah, there is NO WAY Georgia should be in exceptional drought, people down there have to be scratching their heads at this one.

    Here in Central Massachusetts, we have pools of moderate drought all over the place thanks to some drought pours we’ve had over the past couple days. We’ve even got drought seeping out of the ground, there’s so much of it.

    I don’t know how the stats line up, but 2007 seemed FAR worse.

      Same here, I remember it being fairly dry about 5 years ago, maybe it was 2007 or 2008. There’s no way we should even be “abnormally dry” with all the rain we have seen thanks to el nino. NOAA is ridiculous, seriously though, why is there still exceptional drought in Georgia? Absolute BS.

    I live in the thumb of Michigan. The color chart for my county is absurd. It was dry for a good portion of June and early July, but since then one wouldn’t even know there was a drought. Virtually everything is green and third cutting hay is doable unless it rains too much!

  5. The only thing exceptional is the level of BS coming out of the US government.

    I need a graph for that. I think the current level is about at the average over the last four years, even with NOAA’s recent contributions skewing things.

    Is there even any way to measure the amount of Government BS in single year, much less in a single day? Where and how are the sensors sited? What are the units? Can we get instantaneous read-outs? Do MSM sponsored announcements add to the total?

    Perhaps measurements could be made by measuring the distance or at what velocity one’s skin crawls.

    Macon has gone from exceptional drought to exceptional droughtflood, all due to exceptional Global Weirding. Exceptional minds like Dr. Hayhoe know it to be true.

    Part of the trouble, I think, is that the drought index is based upon an arbitrary baseline. Where I live the annual average rainfall is 55 inches +/- 5. We have had several years below ‘average’, but average here is quite wet. We are about to enter our dry season (ASO), with October being the driest on average (3 inches for the month on average). It has to be really hot here and dry with a persistent high to get dry enough for stuff to turn brown. So far, this summer has been average to below average temp and rain wise. It was anomalously hot and dry here from March through June.
