Don't know about NY, but Wyoming has been unseaonalbly warm (until the last 3 days---avg. 15 F) but damn sure too dry!! No snow, rain, etc. to speak of all winter (so far). A few small flurries but nothing that "stuck" or added to ground water.

Going to be a long, dry summer. Probably HOT too, like last year, but even less water. No clue what we'll do, other than not water and have no gardens/lawns.
