Most of Ellis County (3 down, 5 right from northwest corner of map) remains in a moderate drought with the extreme south/southeast portion of the county classified abnormally dry as of Dec. 15 by the U.S. Drought Monitor.&nbsp;

There is an improvement to the latest drought monitor with more areas having no drought at all due to the recent snow in counties along the Oklahoma border from Meade to Barber counties.
