 Here is the sort of "starting point". The BWCA is still in a drought. Hope the spring rains will help and soak in!.

It looks like northern MN has seen one of its wettest winters in the last 130 years. Should help with water levels at least for a while.

Glad someone is getting some rain. We are bone dry down here and have already had some grass fires. March could be real bad.

Interesting how it can vary from one of the wettest winters on record to one of the driest within a couple hundred miles.

As the map shows- it's been extremely dry in NEB etc. One of my friends owns a large cattle ranch in C.NEB. It's been so dry that the electrified fence is not working because of so little moisture in the ground.
C.IA has seen copious moisture since that map was made. Doubled totals and now actually back above avg for moisture since JAN 1st. 3.36" since Jan 1st when normal is 2.80". Just shows how quickly things can change with convective activity.
Grandma L-- those drought maps in the Far N are of little use once the ground locks up. N.MN is in a MUCH better spot than a year ago. In fact- one could switch the areas in NEB to N.MN and vice versa from last year to this year.

Yeah, pretty easy to see the trend of wetter in the Ohio valley. Looks like they're about to get hit again with more rain/snow
