Though with how dry it had been since September 18th (only 0.38") I will only move us down to Mildly Dry for now. The ground will probably soak this up quickly. |

| Closing out the fall with some soil moisture but not a lot. Most farmers have their fall tillage and inputs completed which says a lot for the weather we have had this past month as there hasn't been any snow accumulation or hard freezes to the soil. The deer seem to know it's a dangerous time to be on the move as not seeing many since hunting season began. The pheasants are plentiful but hunkered down in crp acres. Many mornings begin with dense fog as is this morning again. |

The soil and vegetation are continuing to dry out with only 0.25 inch of rain this week. This light rain temporarily helped the grass to green slightly but everything else is dry. The ground is cracking and getting hard in sunny areas. Much of the vegetation is turning brown. Trees are continuing to show signs of stress. Temperatures were near normal on November 10, but have since averaged 17 degrees above normal most of the week except Friday November 22 when the temperature reached 64 degrees (17 degrees above normal). We have only received 0.40 inch of rain in November, which is 0.66 inch below normal (38 percent of normal). Total precipitation for the year here is 99 percent of normal (0.35 inch below normal). Precipitation for the water year is 72 percent of normal.
Plants and wildlife.
Soil is hard and dry at the surface and cracking open in many areas. Generally, soil is slightly moist to a depth of 2 inches, then dry to a depth of 6 inches. Grass and other vegetation are a mix of green and brown depending upon sun exposure and water needs. Bird visits to the bird bath have remained steady this week, with approximately 20 species of birds (about 90 to 100 birds each day).
Water Supply
Water level in Standing Bear Lake (approximately 0.2 mile to the east of here) is about 1 foot below normal. Area creeks and ponds are also below normal.

Canadian and western U.S. “wildfire” smoke or haze has been less this week this week with improving air quality. Skies have been blue to slightly milky light blue with diffuse sunlight when clear or partly cloudy.

Leaf fall is continuing, with approximately 2/3 of leaves down. No killing freeze in areas around the Sound, but there has been one up the county. However, evapotranspiration has essentially stopped.

The Shagbark Hickory has lost all its leaves and the ground is covered in leaves. Some trees still have a number of leaves on them but they are well past their peak in color. The Forsythia has buds on its stems.
Due to the mild but dry Fall, the birds are not eating as much from the feeders. The Shargbark Hickory has had an abundant supply of nuts this season. If this is any indication, there are then plenty of natural foods available for the birds. |

| Without watering, we would have nothing growing in our vegetable garden. What little dew we are getting is helping the pasture, however the wind soon carries it away. The cattle on our property is having to be fed every three days. It's frustrating having to use the winter hay for drought feeding. Our ponds continue to shrink. They had looked so much better this spring and now they seem to be even lower as before. Burn bans are in effect for multiple counties, including Grimes. Several fires have occurred. Thankfully, they were quickly contained. |

This week, the area enjoyed spring-like weather. High in the 60’s and Lows in the 40’s. Most of the leaves have fallen, and the trees look ready for winter. My neighbors have mowed their lawns for the last time this season, prepared their lawn mowers for winter, and gas up their snow blowers. The geese seemed confused as they flew south in groups, then turned around and flew back. The only birds at my feeder are the American Gold Finch and the sparrows.
The DesPlaines River has not changed much since the last report. The farmers' fields are tilled, and equipment is winterized and put away. |

| No measurable rain during the week again made the wildfire danger stay in the moderate range. Mornings with frost made the dry leaves and grasses wet. Farmers that did fall tillage moved some plant stubble into the ground and helped to keep the danger level from going to high. Little fieldwork or yardwork was left to do in this area. A few geese were still around, likely the "residents", the ones that stop here in spring and don't go farther north. Some turkeys were seen in flocks of 10 to 20 usually, they were gleaning fields. Few deer were seen during the day, many were seen after dark-with headlights. It seemed to be that the bucks were still in rut. The creek had ice on the edges of slow moving areas and stagnant pools most mornings. The ponds also had some thin ice near the banks most mornings. A few days the ice melted during the day. Rivers didn't have any ice. Some days geese were on the open waters of ponds and rivers. |

| I measured a trace of rain on Nov. 12, which was the last time precipitation fell. At 6.2mm (plus 6.4mm of SWE reported on Nov. 10) I am far behind the 1971-2000 November average to date, which would be about 58mm. Rain and/or snow appears likely this week and would be very welcome! I’m in Moderately Dry condition.
Corn harvest is largely done and other than some manuring, disking, etc. there’s little agricultural activity.
I’ve recorded three frosts (low temperatures from 0C to -2C) and one freeze (-3C) this month. This years’ frost-free season ended at 208 days on Nov. 10. Most deciduous trees and bushes have lost all or nearly all of their leaves; only the late senders like Norway Maples and my witch hazel still have any foliage. Feeding songbirds and plugging the bird bath in for a few hours each morning.
Environment Canada’s Sydenham River gauge at Florence, about 30 river kilometers upstream, has level and discharge measurements of 3.076 meters and 1.036 m3/s respectively the day before yesterday at 12:45PM, which appears to be the last reliable reading. |
