Obviously, we've gotten more than usual precipitation in the last month. But probably below normal for last year still?

How does it work?

Depends. Are you on the specific map that i posted?

The map you posted says that it focuses on a "broad scale"...

I've been hearing about drought since I was a kid. Only exceptions '83 and '93.

It makes sense. There are some weird people there. Who knows what they are doing.

Is that the dark red dot?

Correct

RSL

Yes, but they didn't end the drought. CBers keep posting about droughts as if they think getting a $5K Christmas bonus

Water cycle in Utah is something like 120 years

Looking at the data, I think it is a year-long average they use.

You guys live in a desert. Every year is a drought.

I don’t live in a dessert. I live in Salt Lake County.

You live in a veritable ice cream sundae

Give me the desert anyday over somewhere rainy and humid. The last city I served

I believe the term is semi-arid, which would be "almost desert" . . .
