dailylurker Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm a bit of a farmer and I believe in the drought thread lol. This has been one of the drier winters I can remember. The ponds in my area are pretty low. I hope the drought breaks with grid clogging blizzards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Isn't this what we do best in La Nina winters? Cold and dry, warm and wet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be dead before they win a playoff game again likely. I was a sophomore in college in 1990 when last they won one. That’s a drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hagerstown finished 2017 over 6" below normal for precip for the year. That was after 12" below normal in 2016. Ever since the blizzard in January 2016 we haven't only been lacking in WSW events. In general, we have been lacking in consistent precip. Really hoping we can break the cycle early in 2018. Otherwise, issues are going to present this spring and summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qaanaaq Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I am glad you started this thread; we are and have been in a serious drought - the last events might start alleviating things because drought begets drought and rain begets rain/moisture and, we hope, snow. It is a moderate drought - severe in some sections of Virginia: http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?Southeast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Wait... if our events are busting because we are in a drought, and hence it can’t rain/snow in a drought, are we literally going to be stuck in a drought forever? Has someone done the math?! Cancel the next 50 winters until global warming moves the ocean close enough to help us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We obviously need to create a heated late in replacement of the Appalachian mountains. Sure, we'd lose CAD, but I'm pretty sure we'd be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I shouldn't have to start a thread, it should be obvious to intelligent folks like yourself, But, it is not. Your seem to be a false prophet. Please prove me wrong with the real time statistics from the USDM that show us approaching a serious drought. Can you really believe that less than 50% of normal precip. in 90 days is not significant?? If you do, you are not to be taken seriously. This situation can be reversed next week, but today, it is what it is. Oh look a thread where we can talk about drought. Crazy. I think your taking something fairly mundane and blowing it way out of proportion. We're in a drought. We have had many like this in my lifetime and we will have many more. We also have floods. Weather goes through these cycles. It will rain/snow and balance out eventually. We're not to the point where things are dire yet. That's the take of this false prophet of populist belief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall?? 45% of normal rainfall last 4 months. 6.17 compared to 13.81". You should be smart enough to recognize a serious problem for northern Virginia if this continues and recognize a connection to the disappointment of this winters snowfall threats.

It is not mundane to those it affects directly : if you live in a rural area reliant on groundwater, or you are a farmer, or your reservoir has stopped overflowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
