Our entire last year was wetter than normal. Us too. Many of the farmers around here had to plant their corn and soybeans late last spring, luckily we had a warm fall so they still had good yields. |

The town near us - the one that's the "official" reporting station - got just under 5 FEET of snow during the month of February. Pretty much a whole winter's worth of snow in the shortest month of the year.
Last year was only slightly wetter than normal for us - less than 2 inches over the norm. The rest of the state was a lot wetter so apparently we were under a bubble of dry air much of the time.
The two years prior to that - BOTH of them were 10 inches ABOVE the normal annual precipitation. The drought years - where people had well trouble due to the drop in ground water levels, and lakes receded and pulled away from the shores and the levels dropped - have become a distant memory lately.
When all this snow starts melting, it's gonna get REAL INTERESTING. And not in a good way.

Duluth MN set a new record for snowfall for Feb, 39" up from 33" set in 1917. Was pretty snowy here in the bog. Shoveled my roof twice. Last blow left 3' on the lee side. Warm weather is here for the next week. Going to be a muddy spring. The Mississippi river communities are going to be hit hard if this all melts off quick.

It has been a good many years since we have had a drought. Last summer was almost impossible to get any hay put up.
