A majority of the state no longer in drought thanks to recent storm.

The late March snow storm that passed through Minnesota left much needed moisture in its wake.

This moved us from the moderate drought level to just abnormally dry.

Though it will take more precipitation this spring to start filling lakes back up, it sure has helped to have some moisture!
