The Drought Map for NH Says There’s a Good Chance You’re Abnomally Dry
I couldn't believe it when I looked at The United States Drought Monitor map for NH and saw that the area I live in is 'Abnormally Dry'. Especially when my sneakers are still soaked.
I guarantee you that if you took a walk in any fields in the highlighted (Abnormally Dry) area this weekend, your shoes would be squishing. But, if you take the time to read into the data provided, you'll see that it's all based on yearly averages.
It seems silly for me to whine about having damp sneakers when you consider the plight of California. I couldn't imagine dealing with floods and mudslides WHILE looking at a map with thousands and thousands of acres of EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT.
Drought stricken AND underwater has to be the most ironic and cruel condition combination in the entire world of precipitation study.
