I'm in Maine and I'm at 44º32' and I think NYC would be about 40º or 
so.  My connection so slow today I'm reluctant to go after any sort of 
graphic---all that does not of course change where you are.  Most if not 
all of MO, in my memory, is N of the TN southern border, so he must be a 
bit north, but not by much, likely.

It's been drier here than usual (well, what's 'usual' anymore?) but the 
latter part of the summer things sort of got squared away.  However, I 
lost my spring 16 years ago and drilled a well the next year.  It has 
overflowed until this year; this year I had to add a pump and pressure 
tank......not a happy picture.  I just went up the hilland checked, out 
of curiosity, and pipe is dry around outside.

I'd say about 10% of the wells locally (Waldo County, Maine, midcoastal) 
have had to be replaced in the past 10 years or so.  Many of these same 
wells had been in place for 100 years or so without supply issues. ????
