New York City and New Jersey are currently under a drought warning. We've had a gorgeous autumn, great for going on walks in the park, but only 1/4" of rain in the past seven weeks; there are burn bans, and people are vaguely encouraged to run dishwashers and laundry as seldom as possible, but they haven't instituted mandatory water-saving measures yet. Fortunately, we're expecting 2" of rain between this Wednesday night and Friday morning, which will reduce the immediate fire hazard but not substantially replenish the reservoirs.
