(Des Moines)– All of that rain that fell over the Christmas holiday will go a long way toward easing the drought. Tim Hall is with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources…
Hall says even then, 2023 is going to go down as a very dry year…
Hall adds the late December rain came at a crucial time…
He adds the fact that there’s no frost in the ground was a huge win, as that allowed the moisture to soak into the soil, instead of running off.
A little more than an inch and-a-half of rain fell on the Iowa Great Lakes Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
