Precipitation in November 2013 was generally above normal with a statewide average of 0.30 inches above normal, resulting in the 22nd wettest November on record.  However, reported precipitation was variable across the state. Precipitation, mainly in the form of snow, favored the north-central and northwest mountains where significant snow accumulations were recorded during two notable winter storms during the month. The southern tier of the area generally missed out on precipitation resulting in a dry start to the water year.   Severe drought areas (D2 category) were trimmed slightly in northern New Mexico, with the improvements tempered by low reservoir conditions in the northwest quadrant of the state. Overall,  the percent of the state classified as severe or worse drought remained in the 36 to 37 percent range during the month.
