Fozz Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Honestly, looking back at the drought monitor data, you'll be able to see that we haven't had a widespread severe drought in the region in 20 years. We have been very fortunate. A lot of other regions of the country have not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember how horrible the 2002 drought was, and how hot, dry, and miserable that summer was. We've had a few minor droughts since then, but nothing has come close to the horror of summer 2002. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early in the month, we still had that lousy summer pattern. Later that month, we got a (rainy) noreaster and then another rainy day where BWI had a high of 39 (a record cold high for the whole month). Soon enough the drought was wiped out, and then I knew that we were in for a great winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Journal day 129 of drought 2022. It only rained 3/4" today. Tomatoes are bursting and mosquitoes are enforce. I almost had to water the garden 42 days ago but it poured rain so I didn't. Not sure how we're going to make it but we press on. The high sun angle won't allow for snow much less cooling rain. Will continue to update assuming we can make it more days with only moderate rain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
