| Back to dry weather with no precipitation falling last week with a couple of systems going to the north that only produced some windy days. High temperatures started off in the 60's before dropping into the upper 40's for a couple of days mid week and then back to the 60's. The high of the week was 68° on Monday. Lows ranged from a low of 17° on Thursday to 40° on a couple of mornings. The surrounding wildland areas are still brown and no growth on trees but plant life in the yard continues to come to life. Hyacinths are in full bloom and several other perennials are sprouting back to life. Dark-eyed Juncos, Cassin's finch, and Scrub Jays continue to frequent the yard. Smelled a skunk but no other wildlife seen. |

| I am very close to declaring my location Mildly Dry, but keeping it Near Normal for at least this week. There has been a lack of precipitation and with the high winds lately (last couple of weeks at least) the ground is starting to dry. I am seeing some green starting on the occasional grass and forb. No swelling on the buds of brush as of yet. The deer have come through a couple of times this past week browsing on currants and grass/forbs. Not much forage for them, but they look pretty healthy otherwise. Birds continue to frequent the birdbath in my back yard, mostly four of the common corvid species plus some dark-eyed juncos and a few nuthatches. Rivers still appear very low (I always wonder how the fish manage to survive in the pools that are left). Snowpack SWE is still in green, with 6-digit UHC South Platte River at 102% of median and 8-digit UHC Big Thompson River at 108% of median. So the snowpack SWE seems to support a normal winter thus far. There is still plenty of snow in the park (Rocky Mountain National Park) for most winter recreation activities, though the sledding hill at Hidden Valley is looking a bit ragged right now. No indication that fire danger levels have increased, though we are on a fire weather watch, mostly due to the high winds we are experiencing. |

| Just slightly over a quarter of an inch of rain over the past week. (.31") Basically you can say that there was no significant impact on our hydrological scale over the last week. The temps have been typical of our environment with highs in the mid to upper 70's and lows in the 50's. Spring break has begun and that is bumping up the tourist economy.

| General: We're doing really well on snow. We've surpassed our 25 year long-term snow-total (uncalibrated) average of 104.23", having reached 118.73" to date! This is good news!
Agriculture: The snow is critical for dryland farming, so it bodes well for spring planting.
Energy: Even on a cloudy day like yesterday our solar panel system produced more energy (59.07 Kwhr) than we used (54.02 Kwhr).
Fire: Risk is low right now.
Plants/wildlife: We saw a partridge this week! More woodpeckers, flickers, and spring birds are showing up.

| This past week saw more rain and a little accumulating snow. Ground is soft so it absorbed the precipitation. This station at 119% of NOAA Monthly Normal, but still in the 80th percentile for both NOAA Year-To-Date and Water Year-To-Date, so I will still say it is mildly dry. Still have had fire hazard warnings for dry and windy conditions. Grass in my yard has started to green up and trees are budding out. Did see one farmer this week tilling and putting anhydrous down. I am sure most of the farmers are ready to get at it. Temps look to be near normal this week with a couple chances of rain. Hopefully, we will see that much needed precipitation forecasted. |

While the NOAA norms show my station at 154% of normal precip for the month, the norms show just 76% of normal precip for YTD. The week also saw gusty winds with a Wind Advisory issued on 3/19at 10am that expired 21 hrs later. The wind was so noisy the afternoon of 3/21 that it spooked our young dog. So I put her in her crate and played Spotify Relaxation Music for Dogs to block the wind noise - it worked. More Daffodils and Tulips are emerging, Snow Drops are in full bloom. Sandhill cranes continue to fly overhead. |

| I went away for 10 days and only had an accumulation of 0.40" to report for that period. With only a week left in March I am about a half inch below the March average but for the Prism water year I am about 4 inches down. So, while surface conditions look pretty good it is not enough for me to change my condition to Mildly Dry. Some spring bulbs are up and some of the early bushes and trees are starting to leaf out, I have a few sheltered daffodils, and six of them are blooming. The pond is full, with some overflow. The birds are starting to change into their breeding colors. The ponds' resident goose pair is making sure that everyone knows that they own the pond. |

| With a week to go in March we are already running just a few hundredths above normal for precip. Still, for the water year we are almost 6 inches below normal. Ground through the freeze thaw cycles we're seeing is significantly more firm than our normal mud season. The creeks are up a bit but the river remains quite low. The lawn and pasture are greening up nicely but still showing very little growth. Our cover crop rye is also greening up and starting to grow a little. Our prairie has enough cover from last year's growth that it is hard to see how much new growth is happening. The early woodies, unfortunately that is mostly autumn olive and honeysuckle, are just starting to leaf out. |

Unlikely we’ll come close given forecast. Garden soil is reasonably moist but my usual “tell” areas absorbed all the rainfall quickly. Pond level is still slightly elevated but more normalized for this time of year (apparently, they were restricting some of the flow in order to improve the pond outfall, which is a herring run). First ospreys have arrived, first peepers have been heard, and Mama Swan is on her nest.

| More rain and warm temperatures early last week melted mountain snowpack and Basset Brook rose within its banks, dislodging logs that had been stranded on the stream bed for several years. Continued above normal temperatures and more rain later in the week eliminated the last remnants of the local snowpack. Garden soil dried enough by mid-week to allow plowing and I transplanted strawberry roots. Bears have again become active. Two of the plastic jugs that I use to collect maple sap were torn from the trees and each suffered multiple round puncture holes. First time bears have bothered my hobby maple operation. Sap flow has slowed and my operation is done for the year. Syrup harvest was about average. Crocuses are still flowering and daffodil flower buds are swelling. Wild leeks are sprouting on the mountainside. My pond is now ice free and vernal pools are full awaiting the appearance of salamanders and frogs. Greylock trails are very wet with lingering snow and ice at the highest elevations. Trails suffered significant erosion from the recent melt. |
