It has been a dry winter, normal snowfall in December and January, but then no precipitation of any kind until a rainstorm when the Mid Atlantic coast got all that snow, then essentially nothing until yesterday when we got 1.67 inches of rain.

Had a drought a few years back and lots of people on East Side Rd had to have new wells drilled. I was fine - when I had got the house, I dowsed (sp) the site for the well. I get 22 gallons of water a minute of the sweetest, coldest water you could ever want, at 125 feet. In contrast the summer neighbor's well is 435 feet and has a strong odor of sulfur.

Last summer was very rainy, in fact we only had 2 weeks of "summer" in August - terrible gardening year. I did not get the blight here though, I think because I grew my own tomato seedlings.
