I know that it does not necessarily mean this summer will hold with higher than normal temps but if it does it will make last years month + of 100 degrees or greater seem like nothing. No moisture here either. They say we are not directly in a drought here where I am located but my pond is down between about 4 feet from last year, not frozen to hold in any kind of moisture and no snow. .2 inches so far, not once below 0 degrees. It is creepy.
