Au contraire! We’re still in the midst of an exceptionally severe drought.

The good thing is this near normal rainfall is keeping the drought from getting any worse. But that’s doing nothing to make up the deficit. Yet.
Yes, of course. Thank you for the correction. I do so hate lack of precision in terminology. It’s, like, some of the general stuff I, you know, umm…ah…
Heh.
I should have referred to the level of rainfall. It certainly seems as if the switch were thrown on New Year’s Eve. How does it know? 🙂
I’m pretty sure, though I’ve not double-checked, that we’ve topped our record for snowfall this season. As in, our record EVER, since we started keeping track of such nonsense. We’re due to get a LOT of rain today and into tomorrow, and a lot of folks are scrambling to get the snow off their roofs so they won’t collapse.
Oh, what fun.
Ugh. I hate doing anything involving the roof and am grateful that in our house that falls under the catagory of “husband’s duties” (as does the duties of disposing of snakes or spiders and changing the oil in the car). Having to do anything to the roof in the snow and cold sounds like an incredibly unpleasant task.
