Still about 6.5 inches short of "average". Not critical, but pray for a wet winter/spring.

Thank you for that find...
The chief problem: I'm Red-green color blind and so...I had to ask someone to do the interpretation.
Looks like SoMd is under Normal conditions.-Good.

Say, you know history - did you know that during WWII they recruited color blind soldiers? They were able to see through the camouflage and were credited with saving many lives. Wow - I wonder how I remembered that?

I don't know who drew that map or who is saying it is normal, but it isn't.
I have lived here for 66 years,some observations. The farm ponds are down, they arent full Church Swamp normally would be wet, it isnt. When I say wet I mean water laying in a lot of places. There isnt .The ditches in the 7th District should have water in them , they dont. That map shows us as normal and the Eastern Shore as on a watch, we all know our weather is passed on to the eastern shore and there shouldbt be that much difference.
Now that isnt scientific, but its accurate, we are still in a drought. Officially recognised or not. Mist and rain dont cut the mustard we need a good tropical storm to lay here for a good 2 days to get even. That or a lot of snow.

Yeah...its been a little pet peeve.
I have seen so many adaptions for different learnign difficulties but no publisher is willing to adapt color charts/maps/graphics for the 6% of American Boys who are color deficient.
One of my capable youth was crushed when he learned he couldn't be in the seals.-Color Blind.
I urged him to switch into intel gathering/ satellite interpretation-His "deficiency" earned him a spot in that field.
Yeah---I still hate stop lights.

Agree! We've had to re-dig some fence post holes dug during the summer before the rains came. About 8 - 10" of soil at the top has moisture and is even muddy, below that down to 36" the soil is so dry it blows away on the wind. It will take a heavy snow to make a difference at this point.
