| Mild and dry to start the week with a storm moving through Friday morning into the evening. Steady light rain fell all day with a few flakes of snow mixed with the rain in the afternoon. The flakes immediately melted when they hit the ground. A total of .57 inches of rain fell which was the total for the week. High temperatures at the beginning of the week were in the 60's and cooled into the 40's with the arrival of the storm and up to 50° afterwards. The high of the week was 65° on Monday. Lows ranged from a low of 25° last Sunday to 41° on Wednesday. It was breezy with the approach of the storm but no strong winds. Spring bulbs continue to grow and a daffodil starting blooming. Saw a robin and dark-eyed junco in the garden and also smelled a skunk on my morning walk. |

Temperatures have been mild this week with most days in the 60s. Plant/crop growth is improving with the warmer weather and the elm and maple trees are starting to bloom. I’ve seen some jaunicles, spring beauties, and henbits blooming as well so it’s starting to look and feel like spring. Cool season pasture grasses are starting to grow again. Ponds are full and streams are flowing normally. There is low danger of wildfires with the recent rain. |

Between November 26 and February 15, there has been 54 days out of 80 with no precipitation. But had to cut the grass and weeds this week, and CalTrans was out cutting the grass already along Highway 101. High for the week averaged 55.6f, low 44.2f. Ruth Lake Reservoir on 2/12 was at 99%. The rivers remain low and cold, but with coming rain, should pick up. This coming Saturday Blue Lake will host the Redwood Coast Mountain Bike Association's Mad Scramble Cyclocross, with events for adults and children, rain, shine and mud.

We had .28 inches of rain overnight and we'll hope for more. Ocean conditions have been rough, which means not much fishing activity or water sports. Tourists were coming in for the Valentine Day's weekend, but the rain will be an inhibitor for outside activities. No romantic walks through the local Botanical Gardens today. Very large flocks of Juncos and Yellow-rumped Warblers in our gardens, fattening up for the migration to come soon. The little California Quail covey we have (one male and four females) are looking chubby and healthy -- bodes well for chicks.

| I am keeping Condition Scale Bar at Severely Dry. I have gotten 0.22" of moisture over the past 7 days which is a help but no nearly enough. Precipitation Normals (PRISM) are: MTD 51%, YTD is 50%, and WYTD is 51%. SWE of current snowpack is 55% of Median for my 6-Digit HUC and 68% of Median for my 8-Digit HUC. The only stream gauge reporting right now (BTBMORCO) is registering much closer to Historical Average than last week but still below at approx 81% by Daily Average. Landscape still looks pretty dry with only a smattering of snowpack around in more protected locations. The wind continues at around 20mph average which dries the landscape out. Birds continue to use the birdbath for water. Saw evidence of coyotes around the house yesterday morning in the fresh snow. Also rabbit tracks but no blood or fur anywhere to indicate a successful hunt. Deer are still in the neighborhood but have not seen elk in quite some time. Sledding hill at Hidden Valley in the park was nearly bare and not suitable for sledding prior to 4 days ago. I have not been up there since but there is no previous snowpack so not good. Other trails in the park are passable although X-C Skiing on this side of the divide are very dependent upon elevation and exposure and generally not good. No new fire restrictions. Still very concerned about long term water availability for the summer with such a low snowpack. However, most of our snow comes in March and April so there is still time to recover. |

Agriculture: Not great outlook. We need the moisture for crops to thrive.

Deep snow in the woods give the deer, with their long legs, an advantage over the coyotes. I haven't yet found any deer kills. The deep snow continues to inhibit wildlife activity.

But forecasts are that the artic influence we've been under may be passing and we should return to above freezing during the day, freezing at night (sugar maple tree sap season).
Hopefully it doesn't get too warm too fast, there is still a deep snow cover. We will be better if all that snow doesn't melt all at once.

Daily high temperatures this week have been mostly above seasonal average getting into the mid-thirties and forties(F) on most days except yesterday when it got as high as 50F. Our persistent snowpack and icy sidewalks make for strenuous and hazardous walking. Many birds still visit the bird-feeder daily and many waterfowl are wintering in this area.
