It’s not often that the swamp drops …
From peak flood to deep drought in the span of a half year.

But that’s what happened this year …
From November to May.

And it just goes to show:
No matter how prolific a late fall rain event, all it takes is a run of dry weeks in April and/or May for the swamp to completely bottom out.

Last time I checked the rainfall tally for May was under an inch which puts us in a bit of a pinch considering the long-term averaged combined rainfall for May and June is 13 inches.
Or in other words, June has its work cut out for it.
