Western Oregon is in Drought Officially! [View all]

[Redlo Nosrep]

I'm just kind of stunned to see that western Oregon has all that yellow shading on the latest Drought Monitor map:



I grew up in the Eugene/Springfield area and spent the first 15 or so years of my married life there and in Grants Pass and Salem before relocating to Washington.

I always had webbed feet and moss growing in my hair when I lived there, and it was UNTHINKABLE that the phrases "drought monitor map" and "western Oregon" would ever be linked together.

What are you experiencing there, boots on the ground???
