Drought

The weather and news people have informed us that we are not officially in a drought. The way I understand the explanation, it is somewhat like the way economists declared a recession. If you remember, it was not "officially" a recession until two straight quarters of negative numbers. The American population knew we were in recession long before we heard the official word. Well, with a drought, it takes two years of subnormal rainfall to be officially a drought. So far, that magic period has not yet occurred. However, it looks like a drought, and it feels like a drought, whether official or not. Central Texas really needs rain.
