leeneia, what city are you in/near?

The snow and rain hitting California will help refill the aquifers. Texas hasn't had that kind of rain (the Edwards Aquifer is still in dire need of water). It is hit or miss around the country, for places that got the moisture.

It has been a moist but not overly-wet spring in North Texas. I expect it to be Hot As Hell sooner than anyone likes it here.
