Iowa's dry spell

After the torrential rains at the end of last month, it's been very dry across the Hawkeye State. The National Weather Service has an interesting compilation of dry spells. The surprise for me is that the fifth longest dry spell in Cedar Rapids ocurred this year. It was 25 days ending on February 8th.

I was home during that period and I wanted it to snow. Nah, of course not. It was just cold. Bone chilling cold.
