Bring on the rain...
because dry weather is back. The latest U.S. Drought Monitor which was released
this morning shows "abnormally dry" conditions have been reintroduced over
Oklahoma.

While so many of us were hoping for warm weather, we forgot to wish for rain as
well, so important for the beginning of spring as things begin to green up. Who
could blame us though after such a dark and dreary winter season? It has become
dry, however, as indicated by the Oklahoma Mesonet rainfall totals from
March 1-April 14.

So we need the rains that are forecast for this weekend, especially in western
Oklahoma.

Snowfall totals
Okay, now that the trauma of this past winter and all that horrible white stuff
that fell from the sky is past, time to take a look back at some preliminary
(PRELIMINARY!!) totals from the NWS COOPerative observing network, so the names
of the stations might throw you a bit. These totals are from December 2009-March
2010. Please keep in mind they are preliminarily preliminary.
