Finally, we’ve seen relief from the drought…
WXII12 viewer, Leanne Evans sent us this photograph of her 10 gallon fish tank filled with rainfall:
Several towns in the Foothills and Mountains received more than 8 inches of rainfall. Although, rain totals of more than 6 inches in Greensboro between October 19th & October 26th put a major dent in the rainfall deficit, we need another 10 inches to reach the yearly average.
With a dry winter likely, it’s a good time for us to continue our water conservation efforts. A great way to figure out how many gallons of water you’re using in your house is a water use calculator:

The drought outlook through January suggests rainfall will be below average.
Enjoy your week!
