Yes I'm in New Hampshire in that very unfun drought right now. But droughts like this were the norm. Now they're more rare.
On drought.gov if you scroll below the map and click 1895 - Present in the graph at the bottom of the page, you'll see just how common droughts in NH used to be compared to the much high "abnormally wet" conditions of today.

try clicking D3 / W3 or D4 / W4 also to get a good picture of how it's changed.
Post 2000's NH has had the most extreme wet and the least extreme drought of any time period (except maybe the 1970's)
