From the Colorado Connection (Matthew Krueger):
The US Drought Monitor released updated data on November 30, 2010 which upgrades the moderate drought in southeast Colorado to a severe drought in some cases.
Little to no significant precipitation has fallen across the area since early August. Snowfall for Colorado Springs and Pueblo is far behind this season, and almost non-existant for some parts of the state so far for the 2010-2011 season. Conditions have been steadily deteriorating with fire danger remaining a concern. The Lower Arkansas Valley has been officially put in “severe drought” status as a result.
The airport at Colorado Springs has recorded just over half of its normal yearly precipitation. Pueblo is only slightly better.
