Oliver Koit is a scientist. He says that snow usually comes in November. But this time, snow is rare. There is little snow. This means there will be no major flood.
Koit says that sometimes snow melts in December. If snow comes late, there is less water in the spring. Recent years have been warm. There have been few floods.
Ilmar Tamm is an expert in rural life. He says that a warm winter is good for winter crops. The ground is not cold. Water goes into the soil. This helps plants grow. But a warm winter is bad for summer crops. In spring, there may be little water. This causes drought.
Arvo Järvet is a scientist. He says that nature has cycles. Sometimes there is a wet year. Sometimes there is a dry year. For example, in 2008, a wet period began. It continues to this day. Spring precipitation determines whether the year is wet or dry.
