With the goose egg being a colloquialism to represent the shape of the number zero, a number of locations over northwestern Iowa ended up with zero precipitation for the month of November. The featured map presents NOAA MRMS based estimates for the month. The white area represents an amount less than the minimum possible measurement of 0.01 inches. Actual observed reports in the area confirm this RADAR-based estimate with places like Spencer not even reporting a trace for the month. Things continue to look rather dire for improvements to the ongoing drought situation and the impacts from decreased surface water flows are increasing.
