Going into the fall and winter of 2019-20!

Forsyth MO. - After the rather wet and hot summer of 2019, all eyes turned to expectations of what kind of winter we might have and then going forward into the sprint of 2020, whether or the not the area parks would flood once again!

At right is a pic of the last five years of rain I've recorded for the Forsyth Missouri area. The C4 column is an average of the last four years not counting this year. One interesting note was the fact that those four years were statistically behind the 30 year posted averages for West Plains, MO. This year was looking to come in about normal, although it remained to be seen if that would come true.

As far as the Winter months for 2019-20 were forecast, the thinking was for a possibly colder and dryer than normal December through February period for the state of Missouri. See https://youtu.be/VGZJ8tSFLDs for a full video forecast. All indications, then, were that both Shadowrock and River Run parks would remain high and dry.... OK. I can live with that!
