January brought largest drought footprint in nearly 4 years to U.S.
Description: Depending on your location, January brought a warmer or colder start to the year. Data show that much-above-average temperatures in the West offset below-average conditions in the East and made for a slightly warmer-than-average January for the nation as a whole. Perhaps the bigger news: The U.S. drought continued to expand and intensify to its largest area in nearly four years (May 2014). [Source: NOAA News]
