Chillin’ in Hades

In response to “It’s not drought, but what do we call it?” from Big Pivots No. 35

“How about ‘desertification’? Or Brad Udall’s word isn’t too scientifically wonky: ‘aridification’…. But I also know that you know those words…. So if you’re looking for something simpler, how about, ‘Ongoing dry spell that will last till hell freezes over….’ (Although if Texas freezes over, can hell be far behind?)
