Some of the stuff out by me is 2-3 feet low.
That’s a lot of snow to recover over winter. This might take a few years I’m guessing.
One or two good rains and it's back to normal. Ortonville had 7 inches the week before last.
What are you basing it being low off of?
2016, 2018, and 2019 were all the wettest years in recorded history for MN precipitation....each one surpassing the previous. 2017, the "dry year," was still 6" above the average annual precipitation. I have no idea what 2020 was in terms of precipitation....I'm guessing pretty average to maybe slightly below average.
Point being, everything in this state was high as hell. Going into this year.
Humans tend to have short term memories....
Realize that the half decade immediately leading into this dry year was almost certainly the wettest in history.
Consider if the suff that's 2-3' down is actually only 6" to a foot down in the big picture.
