Eleven consecutive days without precipitation, not even a trace. In southwestern Michigan, that constitutes and mini-dought! Since I became a CoCoRaHS volunteer beginning 6/30/2008, there has been only one longer stretch of time without precipitation, a period of 13 days in September 2008. I have recorded four 10-day periods without precipitation. |
