Let's hope not......

oh, did a meteorologist write this?


if he can tell me if it's going to rain 3 weeks from today, I'll give him some street cred. otherwise, he's just looking to get his name in the media.

guaranteed he would be wrong too!

If the guy that predicted that 15 year drought is the same guy that said we had a 90% chance of rain last night, then we have nothing to worry about.

They are studying trends and tree rings!

They kind of missed predicting the start of this drought, or did they just now decide to look into it, after we didn't get rain for months?

PLEEEEZZ! These are the same people that can't even ACCURATELY tell us what the weather will be 48 hours from now.

What happened to the guy that predicted just a few months ago that La Nina was going to move out and we would be back into a rainy pattern by September?

He must have crawled back under his rock!

These people seem to come out of the woodwork just to get media attention.

lmao dont worry its the end of thwe world soon 2012 lol

In December 2012. We can still get a few hunts in November. Before the end.

And to think they get paid to be wrong most of time. If they were paid on accuracy they would be more accurate.

I said La Nina was falling apart a few month ago, and it was. It was almost completely gone. And then it just reorganized and now we're facing another year of it.

The problem is that long-term trends are easier to predict than whether it's going to rain a week from now in a particular place. And the history overwhelmingly suggests we'll have a multi-year drought at this point.

Hope he's wrong, but I'm not going to plant any more trees.

Ask Al Gore... If you don't believe what he says then he will have a temperature tantrum.

HEY!!! I just realized that it'll still be hunting sesason when the end of the world comes..I can go out in my stand!!!!!

OK, that right there is funny, I don't care who y'are!

Don't know if yall realize this but we've been in a drought state for the last 10 yrs. They are saying we could get 10 more yrs of the same.

Not a joke to those of us trying to devise a survival strategy!

We will all have to move to Las Vegas if this last another 30 years.

The world is is gonna end in 2012 anyways so why worry?

Has anyone looked at a copy of the Farmer's Almanac for this year? I haven't, but would be curious to see if the drought is alluded to.

Don't know about 2012, but the 2011 almanac didn't prove very accurate.

That was funny.Texas has been in a state of desertification for some time.Since the last ice age.

I heard the same kinda just a few years ago when we had a drought. They claimed we would look like west Texas in 5 years and then a few weeks later we had flooding rivers, streams and lakes and next thing you know all the "experts" were having to look for some other way to get thier name out there.

They now say El Nino will continue another year and if so, it will stay rough.

One more reason i'm moving to wyoming...lol

So you dont have to worry about drought years anymore since they are always dry?

Just saw on news that today we just reached a new record low of 11.2" for ANY 12 month period in history. That's just crazy! That was for the Austin area I think is what it said.
