WINTER MEMORIES: COLD, WARM, DRY, WET
In Westchester, March must be considered as winter, and so winter is stretched to four months instead of the conventional three. Drought is the one word characterizing this past winter. December, with 0.69 inches of precipitation, was the third-driest twelfth month in the Croton watershed - barely edging out December 1862 (0.68 inches) and December 1955 (0.7 inches) in the 151-year county precipitation records. December was followed by another bone-dry month. The 0.62 inches in January was more than three inches below normal and was the thirddriest first month in the Croton watershed since 1860 - only slightly wetter than the Januarys of 1866 (0.59 inches) and 1970 (0.51 inches). Within the Croton watershed, there have never been two backto-back Decembers and Januarys with less than one inch of precipitation. March brought us back again to drought, with a sparse 0.45 inches recorded in northern Westchester as of March 29. It was the seconddriest March of the century - only March 1915 was drier, with six weather stations in the Croton watershed showing an average of 0.43 inches.

THE WINTER OF 1980-1981 FROM COLD TO PARCHED
Even as the winter cold begins to wane, another meteorological disaster assumes greater proportions -drought. Communities in nearby New Jersey and Connecticut are not blessed with reservoirs as extensive as those providing Westchester and New York City. Their remaining water supply is down to the countdown stage with only a few weeks to go before the proverbial well runs dry. The Croton Watershed is also parched; only a few storage lakes are filled - not from local sources but from the Catskill System, which runs into some of the Westchester reservoirs such as Croton Lake. The .69 inches of precipitation that fell in December was only one-100th of an inch more than in the driest December recorded. (Daily recording of precipitation began in Westchester in 1830.) This amount - 17 1/2 percent of the normal level - was followed by .62 inches in January, making it only .12 inches short of the county's driest January in the last 150 years.
