No water woes for region — yet
Water levels on the North Shore are still close to average but dropping fast due to a recent lack of precipitation.
Up through last night, not a single drop of moisture had fallen in February, and January saw just 2.67 inches. That's almost three-quarters of an inch less than the 30-year average, according to The National Weather Service. In total, the North Shore has received about an inch-and-a-half less precipitation than normal in January and February. - Police respond to NSCC
