Crazy Weather Pattern For These New York State Locations

The month of November is already halfway over and last year at this point, portions of New York State were bracing for a big snow fall. It is amazing what a year can do as things are much different in 2023.

Do you remember the last time it rained? When was the last time we had a significant rainfall? In the month of October, the first two weekends were wet and we had some rain on Halloween. However, it seems to have been a drop in the proverbial bucket as the New York State drought map indicates.

Take a peek at the map and notice that there is a need for rain in some locations as a moderate drought seems to be underway.

There are 5, nearly 6, counties in New York State that are in a moderate and one in a severe drought. Orleans, Monroe,Genesee, Livingston and a portion of Allegany Counties are all in the moderate range and there does not seem to be much relief in sight.

For those who live in a home that uses a well for water, things are getting a little dicey. Try to shower or wash clothes may be tough if there is not much water in the ground to refresh the well fast enough or at all.
