| The mud from last week is finally drying out. Cold at night all week, but warm during the afternoon with a high one day this week being 70.5°F. This is too much for mid-February! I was hoping we would get one more good snow before Winter was over, but I don't think that is happening. Deer have been on the move several mornings this week. Lots of birds and squirrels. With the warmth and sun the green tops of Star of Bethlehem are popping out of the ground again. It shouldn't feel like Spring so early. |

| Total Accumulation:
Approximately 1.19" to 1.42" of total liquid precipitation has been recorded as of mid-February.
Departure from Normal: Rainfall is roughly 72% to 76% below average for this time of year. The region is currently about 3 inches below its typical year-to-date rainfall total.
January 2026: Totaled approximately (~1.96") of rainfall. Notable daily events included 0.15" on January 14.
February 2026 (to date): Recorded a modest (~0.21") as of February 13.
Recent Events & Outlook
Snowfall: A recent winter event brought roughly 3.3 to 10 inches of snow to the area. However, because 10 inches of snow typically correlates to only 1 inch of liquid precipitation, this did not significantly alleviate the dry conditions.
Drought Status: Due to the persistent lack of rain, extreme drought conditions have returned to the region for the first time in over 17 years. |

| Some lake, pond and creek levels observed lower following a surge of the last precipitation. Indoor air RH hovered between 10 & 20% for a while necessitating use of a room humidifier a few days for better comfort. Tap water temperature measured daily for the last 26 mornings was 15.1 C with standard deviation of 0.6 C. With the exception of a few gallons in the water heater and a few cooking appliances in the kitchen the air and water temperature indoors and outdoors has been lower than the critical temperature for carbon dioxide. The measured cation and anion profiles of tap water, bottled water, precipitation, and ductless dryer distillate were measured recently, and some distinguishing differences were noted. |
