I’m in Boynton Canyon near Sedona. Yesterday I saw what looked like a garter snake shoot across the road. It was about six feet long and moved fast like what we called a “black racer” in south Louisiana.

Don't think it has rained in a month here in central NC. None on the forecast either.

I can hear it now. Activists are gonna start calling it Climate Regression, and they’re gonna need donations to combat this man made catastrophe or the earth won’t last 10 more years.

It's no different in the pan handle. They're begging people not to do small burns. Some years it rains every day then we get this. Last summer it was just a touch of rain every damn day followed by the sun coming out to turn it to steam. Awful summer.

Wildfires are going to be popping up every week in florida if no substantial rain hits soon. Fires already here in April can only imagine mid summer.

For the last handful of years, Baton Rouge has moved from more frequent light rain to much less frequent heavy storms. The "rain totals" don't even up looking super different, but it's causing a lot strain on plants that normally thrive here.

Supposed to get it this afternoon in Mississippi. In fact, the baseball game in Starkville was moved to 3 PM because of it.

Hope it materializes!

Dry? Friend who retired to his place on the west side of the Pecos jumped for joy last weekend due getting 1/8 inch per his rain gauge. He doesn't even see snakes anymore, nothing for them to feed on. Mexican black bears have left and so have the deer.

Get ready for the El Niño starting next month that’s going to soak the southern US this summer.

I think you’re right. I looked it up and compared the pictures to the video I took of the snake, and it's very similar. Plus, I’ve never seen a garter snake move that fast or be that big.

I hope so. We're down 23" of rain from average here in north east Florida.
The fires in Brantley County Georgia have burnt 87 homes already.

Dude there's already wildfires all up here in the panhandle. It's bad. What's worse is I've made a big dent in the pinetree pile from when we plowed the acre and I can't burn the damn thing and need to make side piles of small sticks n dead leaves.
