As far as rainfall since May 31, we have amassed 8.95". We are still shy about 18" since May 31st. By the way...The month of November gets an historical average of 5.19" of precipitation while the month of December gets 4.3". We will see how this tracks in the coming days.

As for the current drought condition, we are in trouble water-wise. The majority of Maine is in extreme drought and we hope our well doesn't go dry this winter. We hope to heck that this will be a heavy snow winter to refill our water coffers.
