(Tx) I have never seen a spring season with so many dry thunderstorms.

Some of the last snow falls I saw this year, the snow didn't melt normally at all. Almost like it immediately evaporated. No mud.

Nature is still green here, but it's obviously still a serious drought. I'm more worried about farming yields than my comfort... and the coming increase of warning signs Like future historic wildfires... & heat bulbs

We’re in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our county is in the top ten percent of safest counties in the US from climate change. We’re considered a temperate rain forest.

It’s so incredibly dry. Scary dry. Worried about forest fires kinda dry.

I'm in the Willamette Valley in Oregon and it's the same for us here. The lack of rain we got this winter and spring has been shocking.

It's so nice here too. Showers off an on today are nice, and in between I'm chainsawing the heck out of this overgrown tree. A pair of robins nested under out deck again and are fighting it out with the nearby bluejays over territory is entertaining. Hoping we don't have a repeat of 2020 wildfires this year.

Same for the Everglades where I am. Worst dought in 25 years. Some communities are running out of ground water and drilling into their brackish layer for water.

Objective_Ant_9083@reddit

Any idea how many feet deep they are drilling? Thank you!

MrBrawn@reddit

No idea, it will vary.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Just varying degrees of hell

I’m very glad to live in the Great Lakes.

Yeah.... I'm borderline considering water preps for the first time.
Had like... barely one impactful drought in my lifetime, now its looking like I should have a way to save and pull more water at home.
