Cheyenne has had 30″ of snow this April, 38″ for Casper and 40″ for Lander. Wyoming has a dry climate to begin with and that constitutes a drought??

Fargo, ND, flooding … but that happens every 4 out of 10 years. Nothing new.
Fargo, ND is also in a drought, according to NOAA. As is Grand Forks. Yet both of these places are expecting a record flood on the Red River of the North.
