We're really dry in KY also. We had a total of .75 inches in February,
it was dry enough to plow new sod in January, and this month is also
under. I was in NC over the weekend, and they are in similar straits.
It's nice to be able to get spring crops planted without the mud, but, I
agree, ominous for this season. We also ended last year under - even
with the rain we got from the hurricanes.

You're in Virginia and it's that dry? I know the west has been dry for
years. The OK/TX/KS region is almost like dustbowl days. We had our
worst
drought in a long time in northern Illinois last year and we have not
recharged the subsoil yet this year. Kind of ominous.
