Yep. Currently 93.16% of the state is in at least some category of drought. This time last year, and we know how bad last year was, 0.00% of the state was in some category of drought. This year could make last year look good.

We are basically 2.5 weeks removed from being under threat of killing frosts and it feels like July already. Usual spring-time pattern around here is rain at least 2-3 x weekly like someone else said, and here we are going on day 16 or 17 of no rain. In April. That's unheard of. Gonna be a bad one this year.

My pond has already quit running; it's usually August before that happens. I planted some corn and milo this week; probably a waste of time and money.

central ala,
Last year was the poorest deer I've ever seen in my area. Not the usual fat on the rump down the straps or inside on the loins. Was it the drought??? I don't know but it surely didn't help. We were in good shape until Sept. which is our normal start to dryness with Oct. the driest month. But it got abnorminally dry and didn't catch up in the winter and now starting out hotter and drier than normal. If last year poor deer was due to a few months drought, what will 12 - 18 months of drought do to all wildlife?? What's it going to do to a lot of peoples lives??

I saw a lot of lean deer this past season also.
Especially the does. Especially the younger does.

Just noticed that one of my beautiful monument ancient pine trees on my Big Hill is dying. Thing is giant. Now all the top is brown. Guess that old age and the 2016 drought finished it off. frown

I got less than .1". Totally sux. I think the corn I planted 2 weeks ago will be a bust. RR corn and nitrogen fertilizer ain't cheap. If it comes up now, as dry as the ground is, I don't have high hopes for it to do very well unless we get substantial rain in may.

Less than a 1/4" here. I'll take it but more, much more, is needed. West Cullman County.

Looks like this system coming in is going to be a drought buster, flood warnings are up for a big piece of west Alabama.

I sure hope so. It's definitely not too late for us to still have a bad drought but things are at least shaping up for a much better early summer than last year.

We got that, then .5" later in the week and it's raining now again! I'm loving it and so thankful for it.

I'm missing it every time. Once again, right at 1/10th if some more doesn't happen tonight. Last year we where catching all of it until Sept.
