| We are at the end of March and the total for the month is less than .1 inches. By contrast, the figures for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were 5.73, 7.32 and 11.69 respectively. March 2022 was 1.53, the lowest I'd recorded to this point. There is rain in the forecast for next week, but the total is predicted to be around an inch. If we get that, the total for the year will still be just under 35 inches, or about 5 inches below what we need each year. More mild, sunny days this week makes the local farmers happy, though. Fishing boats were out for most of the week, though the ocean was bit rough towards the end due to the return of the north wind. Delightful to look out over the landscape and see the bright green of new leaves and ferns. The Violet-green Swallows have returned for the summer and in good numbers this year. We watched a group of about 10 from a second floor window swoop by under our eaves and above the gardens after insects yesterday. More RVs and boats showing up for the summer season. Easter weekend should be busy. |

| General: We are on parity for snow in March, but down < 2sd on moisture. We expect 12.5" of snow in March, and have received 12.3". We expect 2.93" of liquid (rain/snowmelt) and have received 1.45" (sd = 1.29"). For the water year, we have received 12.16", and expect (7 year average) 18.45" (sd=6.6"). We're almost 1 sd below our average for moisture.
Agriculture: Our neighbors have now planted, and, with all of us, are hoping for rain. They say the soil moisture is pretty good, which is hopeful. They use no-til procedures, so the top soil retention is great (in contrast to the dust storms we're seeing down in the valley with potato farms).
Energy: High energy production phase now: 79.94 kWHR produced yesterday, and only 28.84 kWHR consumed.
Fire: I'd put it at high danger at this point. We haven't had moisture of any sort since March 6.
Plants/wildlife: We should have seen/heard the following birds, as of March 23 (based on 2024 bird identification):American Crow
Black-billed Magpie
Common Raven
Red-winged Blackbird
Bullock’s Oriole
American Robin
Black-capped Chickadee

We have not seen/heard the following yet: Bullock’s Oriole
Snow Goose. We are pretty well on-target as far as bird species is concerned. I haven't seen an ermine in a long time, and no chipmunks or squirrels. These are all vulnerable due to winged predators (and feral cats).

Warm and windy conditions expected the next couple of days causing fire concerns for dry vegetation. By Monday evening into Tuesday there is a chance for rain and some severe thunderstorms which will cause temperatures to become more seasonal mid-week.

The Mississippi River has been on the rise all week, with the Rock and Green Rivers rising and now slowly dropping. Farm equipment has been seen as farmers prepare for spring field work.

Warm temperatures early in the week continued to melt the snowpack and only a few patches remain where the snow had drifted in northern shadows. There are larger patches of old snowpack along Bassett Brook and at higher elevations on Mt Greylock. The rest of the ice melted on my pond and the warm rain on Thursday night brought the first Wood Frogs and a healthy population of Spotted Salamanders in to deposit eggs. Colder weather for the end of the week refroze the pond and the frogs and salamanders are tucked away awaiting the return of warm weather. Tree swallows have returned and are competing with bluebirds for my birdhouses. The crocuses are still flowering, but the daffodils and rhubarb haven’t grown much. I spotted some wild leeks sprouting in the woods. A porcupine wandered by checking out my raspberry canes which have not sprouted leaves yet. Warm mornings are a melody of birdsong, but cold mornings are still silent. Maple sugaring season is winding down.

Drainage ditches, persistent puddling in low fields, and Hickory Creek are reduced from last week; nevertheless, wet soil conditions are inhibiting water absorption. Temperatures have varied through the week but have avoided extremes; there have been some overnight hard freezes but always with daytime thaws.

| The two heavier Snowfalls that came through the last couple of weeks apparently didn’t make an impact on the dry grounds. The water content was not significant, and the Snowpack was gone within 2-3 days. A week of zero Precipitation didn’t help. Most of our state was under a Red Flag Warning yesterday due to the dry conditions, along with high winds and low humidity. The tinge of green in the grass has not expanded, but I do feel some shrubs have started looking a little healthier. I’m itching to start cleaning up some of the rotting leaves and mess but now is still a little early. I’m also watching closely for a period of light Rain Showers so I can drop some grass seed in my backyard. We have Ice-out on smaller area lakes and several more ducks and geese enjoying being around. Our roller coaster Temperatures are normalizing to seasonal levels this week.
Forecast: Warm to start the week with Temps reaching the 60’s and 70’s as an April Fool’s joke for the next two days, then dropping to the 40’s the rest of the week. Mostly Cloudy skies with random chances for Rain and Snow Showers, with maybe up to .5” of water. |
