Again: Dry Warm Seasons, Very Wet Cool Seasons

This week, the Ticker focused on a remarkable climate episode that
continues to evolve across Oklahoma.  Specifically, we've presented
the concurrence of exceptionally dry summer periods with the some of
the wettest cool seasons observed.

It should be pointed out that this four-year episode does not
necessarily represent any change in the long-term climate of Oklahoma.
It does, however, represent an exceptional four-year period within
our state's climate record.

The following page will present numbers (and graphics, finally!)
related to this episode.
