it was interesting.  with the current round of rain storms last night and the upcoming days, the weather people seemed to completely ignore the fact that we are in what is the equivalent of a national drought and reported something like, " now we are having a good amount of rain coming in, which will greatly help our amount of rain that we need, but let's not forget that our amount of rain we received this month (January) have done well in keeping with the amount of rain that we need here, but we still need more rain to keep up with the necessary amount of rain that we need."

my point is that we are in a serious period of drought, and when i say 'serious', i mean several YEARS worth of poor rain totals.  my son in the northern VA area has told us that THEY are in a drought (northern CA is not necessarily in a drought situation as reported by my parents).  this lack of rain appears to be more wide spread than is being reported.
