Shelby County: "In most El Nino years we have below average precip. and temperatures. November and the first 1/2 of December was like that. January came in wet and cloudy. We had 1 winter storm this winter back on 1/15. Since 1998 began it has been very wet with over 20 inches at my place and mild until last week. We also have had rain this month with 4.5 inches overnight on the 6th. I have the suspicion this will be a cool April and May. However I also think that this will be a hot and dry summer. But this El Nino has had lots of surprises and we shall see what happens."--Eric Hunt <mahunt@bellsouth.net
