The northeast looks like we're headed into a drought with no rain in sight.

You folks don't know the meaning of the word drought!  We had less than 10" last year!  We are being instructed to "let your lawn get a tan".

yeah on the local radio station here in south bay area, they ask a bunch of CA big shots what they are doing to save water. Apparently everyone has a 5 gallon bucket to collect water while the shower is warming up. Used for watering/flushing toilets/etc. 

 

I call bs.

 

 

Drought definietely stinks, my poor 4 year old knows nothing of rain storms yet!!

I live in Las Vegas, we get than 3 inches a year. I miss rain. I'm really looking forward to getting out of this desert.

Water levels are dropping that's for sure. I can barely get my canoe out from my hand-launch site. I miss May.

Yup, my home lake has been a few feet down all summer and no rain in sight. I'm not worried; we'll have feet upon feet of snow to melt next spring.

One of my fishing spots is way down.

It's been extremes here in wny this year, one of the warmest, driest Mays on record, to one of the coolest June's with record rain fall (I had a legit 26" of rain in my gage between memorial day weekend and the 4th of July) to a cooler than normal July, a "normal" August, to the third warmest, and one of the driest Septembers on record.

You live in a desert, it's suppose to be dry.

Actually, I think we are designated semi-arid.  San Diego averages about 10" of rain a year, where I live, about 15".  We have not received anywhere near that amount in several years.  To make matters worse, the snow-pack in the Sierras was at an all-time low last year.  That snow provides water for much of the Southwest.  El Nino is supposed to rescue us, we'll see.
