How Dry I Am

Average Rainfall for Houston, Texas

According to official weather bureau statistics – totals measured at Bush Intercontinental Airport – January is the only month slightly wetter than normal this year.  If you don’t count the almost 2 inch deluge of January 24 (when we hardly got any rain at all at our house) January would’ve been drier than normal, too.

So far, our rainfall is  10 inches below normal for the year, and that does not take into account a drier than normal fall.  We had no – zero, zilch, nada -  measurable rainfall in April, none so far in May, and none predicted in today’s forecast.  There is no more than a 30% chance of precipitation forecast for any day in the foreseeable future.

If the Boggy Thicket becomes desert property, do you think the horny toads will come back?
