| Warm(er) weather and bright sunlight have reduced the snow-cover to patches in open areas but much remains in the woods. The ground remains frozen at depth and mud dominates the surface. Dirt roads are a mess but still driveable. Crocuses are starting to show. Except on the shore and on the mudflats, the bay is free of ice. The full-moon high tides swept ices floes out quickly. Damage to trees from ice are the base is evident. |

| Rains late in the week, followed by night time freezing temperatures have prevented us from working soil (gardens).
Earlier in the week, SOME farmers were able to start tilling soil; but that changed later in the week.
ENERGY: use of heating systems still required
FIRE: level is likely high, as vegetation is still a bit dry/brown until perhaps 2 weeks with warmer temps when it will green up
PLANTS: blooming: popcorn spirea; snowball vibernum; forsythia; dandelions; henbit; dead nettle; tulips; daffodils; grasses; pine (pollen starting) oak, birch, junipers
WILDLIFE: nothing out of the ordinary at this time
SOCIETY & PUBLIC HEALTH: flu is still being diagnosed
TOURISM & RECREATION: normal
WATER SUPPLY & QUALITY: rising rivers (but not threatening) and also wind swept out of creeks due to high winds - makes boating and fishing a bit tricky
Relief: there are still organized events to provide furnishings and supplies to those who were affected by Hurricane Florence here locally last September |

With only one week in March left, we are miserably short of rainfall again this month. We have only slightly more than one third of the month's rainfall. Lawns and crops need irrigation. Lagoons are down and wildlife is looking for water. |

There is very good surface moisture, All low areas are full of water from the 6 inches above normal rain and snow since November. There are huge lakes in some farm fields where there is no outlet, Ditches and sloughs are full and the lake levels are above normal, as well as marshes. The lower Baraboo River is slowly falling but the low lands and bottom farm lands still has a lot of flooding. The Wisconsin River is on the rise, and will continue from the snow melt in Northern Wisconsin. Farm fields are muddy. The threat of spring wildfires is upon us from a stretch of dry weather. and leaves and dead vegetation has dried out. |
