Pattern NC mountain fires & Drought

[Shaggy]

Man they did stick the S right on your rooftop lol. Seriously though, you're right, 1.72 here this month, only 1.07 last so yeah one system doesn't bust a drought. I don't remember ever seeing creeks and ponds around here this low in December

We had a pretty decent storm lastnight. A few rumbles of thunder and PGV reported over an inch of rain

Yesterday was the first time in a long time I've played golf in Dec-march and the greens were hard and the course wasn't muddy. Just hit 2/3 irons off the tee and let them roll out down the fairway. I was really shocked to see how low water levels were on the way to the course.

Same, I hit my irons fairly high, they're bouncing off the fairway like cement

This may become a bad situation rather quickly. My area still shows a surplus, but most areas have had less then an inch, or even less over the past 30 days. I'd really have to dig to find a drier period over a month.
