One or the wettest Texas winters
on record is causing serious
problems for agriculture, particu-
larly in Central and North Texas.
And there seems to be no let up in
sight. Weather forecasts are calling
for another 30 days of cool and wet
conditions.
After an unusually soggy 1991 that
ended with heavy December
flooding in much of the state, 1992
has begun with more of the same.
George Bomar, a meteorologist
for the Texas Water Commission
and a weather historian, said the
22.73 inches of rain in Austin through
Feb. 5 markes the wettest winter
ever, dating since 1856 when records
were first kept there.
The previous record, according to
University of Texas figures, was
17.81 inches in 1913-1914. Winter is
considered the period from Decem-
ber through February for statistical
weather purposes.
Austin’s current winter total also
surpasses any single season since
the National Weather Service began
keeping records there in 1926,
Bomar said. The previous record
was the spring of 1957, which
brought 21.89 inches of rain to Ausitn
and broke a years-long drought, he
said.
With 22 days of winter remaining,
San Antonio and Corpus Christi also
have set records, and the Dallas and
Beaumont areas are approaching
new marks.
San Antonio’s 23.30-inch rainfall
broke a 103-year-old record by
almost 9 inches, while Corpus Christi
has had 17.98 inches to break a
34-year-old record by more than an
