The above normal rainfall for many in Oklahoman continued to make a dent in the historic drought that had lasted for months. The more general rainfall over October and November, as opposed to flooding rainfall, had allowed for a good start to the winter wheat planting. Unfortunately, December remained fairly dry. This is not unusual as the winter months (December through February) typically have the lowest average precipitation. Because of the strong end to the autumn months, many have reported a better beginning crop than what was experienced a year ago.
