| Another week with one pretty good dose of rainfall. It came down a bit heavy at times though with some severe weather that passed through quickly. The turf is greening up quickly and grass is standing back up. Some unseasonably warm weather has made things really pop maybe a bit too early. |

| It’s been a gray and drizzly week, but only 0.13” total in the preceding seven days. MTD the total is 2.21”, with a PRISM average for the month of 5.14”. Medium range models suggest we may get close to that. Soils present as moist, though worth noting that there’s still frost in the ground so moisture gathers on top. Pond level is slightly elevated, in part to fact that ice from the winter bog flood is now almost entirely melted and drained back. Pond itself now has perhaps 50% ice cover and that’s been melting fast. Wildlife activity is normal. Still lots of blizzard cleanup going on around here – the arborists have been extremely busy. All but the largest plowbanks have now disappeared. |

| Local area seems to be doing ok. Plenty of melting snow over past 2 weeks has kept ground wet, streams running close to but not over banks, no issues for animals (saw a very healthy fox yesterday), and daffodils are up and getting ready to bloom. |

| Current conditions are mildly wet. This week can be characterized as occasionally rainy, usually overcast, and beginning unseasonably warm but cooling to overnight frost by the weekend. Tuesday, the 10th, was near freezing all day with a few unmeasurable snow flurries; after dark, temperatures rose rapidly, relative humidities remained high, and a series of active thunderstorms arrived overnight dropping 0.85 inches of rain and leaving heavy field flooding and full drainage ditches. Although the immediate area avoided severe weather, the same storm, while passing to the south, dropped tornadoes and large hail. The 13th brought high southerly winds which caused wide-spread and extended power outages. Field flooding persists but is noticeably reduced from its mid-week peek. The St. Joe River is high and muddy but not flooding. More signs of spring are arriving: spring peepers were audible by Tuesday morning. Daffodils are on the verge of blooming; although subtle, red buds are visible on red maple trees; even more subtle, lawns are showing slight greening and growth. The catch gauge captured 1.12 inches of precipitation this week, all in the form of rain. Moving forward, there is no place to absorb or channel any future rain or snowmelt. |

| Received .99 inches of rain over several days this week. Creeks, ponds and streams are normal. Grass is beginning to grow, especially the fescue with a few people mowing their yards between showers. Cattle moved from hayfields to pasture this week. Cattle are looking good, as well as the wildlife. Hearing and seeing lots of turkey. Birds are not eating as much out of the feeders now. Many different trees have budded in the woods and peoples lawns. Some trees are blooming, especially the ornamentals. Some early spring bushes and lots of flowers are blooming too. We are thankful. |

| A quiet week for precip with lots of snow melt. A week ago my snowpack number was 15" and today it will be a trace with more than 1/2 the lawn areas around here bare. I still have maybe 2/3 of my lawn snow covered but it is more shaded. This week 0.04" moisture bringing 0.6" of snow, all melted, plus a couple traces. For the month staying on the dry side with 1.17" compared to the normal for this point in March of 1.75". I am at 77% of the normal water year number. Quite a change for skiing this week. Went once on Tuesday for really good spring skiing. The trail count has dropped considerably and will need a warm day to ski again next week. Lots of rain predicted for Monday into Tuesday. Much less people at the Mt now. Birds have been very vocal this past week, hearing Robins all over on the warm days and Song Sparrows in my yard. |
