| The heavy snow on 1/25/2026 ended the D0-ABNORMALLY DRY beginning of drought conditions in Boone, Campbell and Kenton Counties. There is 7 inches of snow cover with about 0.80 SWE on top of the very dry ground surface. The pond level is lower than normal but frozen with 7" of snow on top of it. Both our temperatures and our precipitation has been below normal the past 2 months with about 2/3 the normal value. Made a 1 category improvement from moderately dry to mildly dry due to a significant precipitation event. It looks like this winter is going to be bad over all. Stream flow is below normal and the local shallow streams are probably all frozen on except for the Licking and Ohio River. |

| Thus far for my “Watershed,” that resides in the “Upper Passaic River” Watershed, that covers from 1.5 miles to the NW to about 1.5 miles to the SE and is about 1 mile in width and in the general shape of a diamond;
There were two days with measurable precipitation and ONE day with trace precipitation for a total of 0.59”, the past seven days [Sunday-Sat].
River and stream volume the past week of this CMR maintained their rates of flow over small lake dams west of this station. As of Sunday morning, 1/26/2026; one held its flow to 15% the width of the dam 6.5 miles from this station moving at a moderate volume with no observable turbidity. The other, 2 miles to the west, reduced its flow over its fall, covering about 40% of its respective fall and moving at a similar volume, and with no observable turbidity. The Madison Golf Course, adjacent this station remains closed for the season. The ground around this station is frozen and hydrated and is holding a snowpack of 11.5 inches. Grass and weeds remain dormant for the season.“Marcescence” continues to shroud Juvenal Oak’s with 90% of their leaves. House Finch, Dove’s, Blue Jays and Dark Eyed Junkos, Crows and Ravins continued very active this week as evidenced by daily visualization, and by the feeder was 100% consumed as of the evening of 1/21 and was refilled the same evening. Neighborhood squirrels were observed including tracks of Rabbits. The neighborhood Ginkgo trees that dropped their stinky fruits in the fall, continue their foul smell but continue to diminish. The first Frost observation for this station, this season, was reported on October 10th. Since then; I have observed and reported a total of 29 days with frost, 3 additional the past seven days.
Over the past 24 days of the New Year 2026; this station has captured and reported 1.10 inches of precipitation. There has been 6 days of precipitation the previous 24 days of CY2026 [1/1/2026 to 1/24/2026] for a “Calendar Year” [CY] total of
1.10”, compared to a total of 3 days of precipitation and a [CY] total of
0.89” the same [year to date] in CY2025. So far, compared to last year, this station has received 0.21” less precipitation than a year ago. Some other totals from previous years, for comparison, are;
YTD2024- 4.83”
YTD2023- 3.54”
YTD2022- 3.45”
YTD2021- 2.62”
YTD2020- 0.97”
YTD2019- 3.91”
YTD2018- 3.48”
YTD2017- 4.32”
YTD2016- 5.17”
YTD2015- 4.80” (First full Year.)
The running TWELVE year average reported precipitation for THIS station is: 2.25 inches, this year, for this station, holding the same station at a deficit of 1.15” less then the 12 (CY) year average and continuing this year to date the third driest start to a year, monitoring this station. Considering the twelve year annual comparable total for this station and considering the previous years total precipation, is why I believe that it is appropriate to maintain this week’s report on the “normal” side of the Condition Scale Bar.

| Mostly cloudy and cold with light winds and snow, then mostly cloudy and cold overnight with light winds. The high temperature was around eighteen degrees, and the low around five degrees Fahrenheit. Songbirds are eating a feederful every day. The local intermittent stream and nearby trout stream are flowing at Winter levels. Some stream crossings are difficult due to snow drifts and ice. |

| Bitterly cold over the past few days. Fortunately missed the brunt of Winter Storm Fern 1/24-1/26. Minimal ice accumulation of approximately 0.1 inches which melted quickly as temps rose and rain fell and melted the accumulated ice. No damage to trees or downed power lines. Creek flows seem stable as storm dumped a total of 1.90 inches off precipitation on the area. Cold weather to continue for the remainder of the week. Rhododendrons leaves are curled very tightly to protect the tree from the cold and preserve moisture. |

Energy

| As a direct result of this winter storm precipitation, the outdoor heat pump was operating outside the manufacturers recommended temperature range. Protective tarp was added to keep fins from over icing and impeding airflow thus increasing inefficiency and incessant appliance running overnight. Two additional space heaters were used indoors resulting in more energy use to achieve indoor temperature >55 F. |

| Even with 11 inches of snow, my area of SW Ohio will probably only have two-thirds of the normal January precipitation. We ended 2025 with a precipitation deficit. More of the same in 2026 it seems. |
