Drought persists with limited winter relief in Kansas
AccuWeather expert notes little winter drought relief with hope for later moisture in spring and summer for the Great Plains. Kansas imposes watering restrictions in Augusta Mulvane and Montgomery County districts while Russell bans outdoor watering and 21 counties face burn bans. Forecasters say it takes 6 to 9 inches of rain to erase Wichita area drought as experts urge deep soil soaking and careful lawn tree watering amid lasting dry conditions.

Leaders seek balanced approach to deficit as talks stall
Leaders voice cautious optimism on resolving the fiscal cliff and November elections. Obama campaigns for a term with a balanced approach that raises taxes on income over 200000 for individuals and 250000 for couples while Democrats push for savings from Medicare and Medicaid. Republicans insist on spending cuts to curb deficits and spur job growth amid 7.9 percent unemployment.
