This has been the driest October and November in the 17 years we've lived in this location, zero precipitation for the entire month of November and no precipitation since the 17th of October. Also, Red Flag fire warnings are almost a daily occurrence and being in a rural area with dirt roads a constant cloud of dust now hangs in the air and settles on everything. The Ponderosa Pine forest seems to be doing okay but the ground is severely dry and all other ground vegetation is parched. Persistent low humidity and windy conditions are exacerbating already bad conditions. CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Black Forest 2.1 SSE on 11/15/2016
