 We’ve gotten some precipitation since my last observation, so upgrading to moderately dry from severely dry. 0.85” March to date, 98% of avg. 1.68” calendar yr to date, 73% of avg. 3.16” water yr to date, 60% of avg. The soil is dry, and I will be doing more winter watering of trees and shrubs this week. We have had much warmer than usual temperatures and a great deal of wind, drying out the soil. Lawns look horrible. Things are starting to leaf out. Both planted flowers and wildflowers in public lands are blooming early. Thornton and Denver, which have both had more precip than we have, have issued watering restrictions—in March!  View

 Much more wind and I'll mark it severely dry. Powder dry. Fences packed with weeds. Any movement fills everything with dirt. Red flag warning almost every day. Warm season grasses are already trying to grow and trees leaved out. Scorpions, bees, wasps, flies are all out already. Smoke Friday from Neb. fires put visibility at 1 mile. Any excursion outside made for hard breathing and sinus issues.Early calving has started. Hadn't planned on it till next month.  View

 No precip last week. No snow on the ground. The strong winds dried out the top soil. The top 4 inches of the soil are dry, just a little below that. The juniper and pinyon trees are showing a little brown as if stressed. Some weeds and cool-season grasses are thriving. The deer are definitely enjoying the green grasses and weeds. The strong winds and the agricultural burning have increased the haze in the area.  View

 The rain from the cold front that moved through last night has made the topsoil wet. However, we are still below normal rainfall, and soils are not saturated. Strong winds and thunder/lightning occurred with the storms and cold front. There is no significant damage at my location. Grass is growing well with the recent warm temperatures, my pear tree is flowering and will be hurt by the cold. There are peach and cherry trees in bloom that will be damaged by this cold snap as well. Hopefully, all of the Bradford pears in bloom will not make fruit this year.  View

After a week of warm temperatures that started with a high of 60°, then slowly dropping through the 50’s and 40’s, the month of March tricked us again with a Winter Storm turning to a Blizzard (Warning). Early predictions had threatened us with a possible 14-18”, though at the time of this writing, we are maybe approaching 10”. Strong Winds have kicked in causing blowing and drifting, which will continue through most of tonight. At any rate, we’ll see how this affects the dryness here, as It seems the ground had finally thawed a little, so maybe some of the melt will be able so soak in. Forecast: Possible sub-zero Temperature on Monday, then climbing into the 40’s mid-week to close the week with low 50’s; Partly to Mostly Cloudy skies with random Fog; No Precipitation expected other than a chance of a couple inches of Snow on Tuesday.  View

 In Boezman, this is The Year Without Winter. Near-normal water year and month, well below normal calendar year, only 60% of previous (12-yr) lowest snowfall. Hit a golf ball in almost every month (winter pins). They moved the NCAA skiing championships out of town for snow drought: probably cost a million $ in tourist revenues. I hope they fill the reservoirs early, because spring runoff volume will likely be negligible (although it will persist well into summer).  View

Most trees and shrubs and perennial flowers are still dormant, except for blooming crocuses and my Canadian choke cherry tree with leaf buds beginning to swell. We only received 0.14 inch of rain this week and the ground is drying up again. Conditions are mildly dry. March precipitation has totaled only 0.37 inch (0.53 inch below normal, or 41 percent of normal).

 0.16 inches of precipitation in the last week. Consistently below Normal this winter. Soil is very dry. Limited amount of precipitation that falls is quickly eliminated by above Normal temperatures. Fire danger has been high lately with several wildfires in the county this week. Birds relying the birdbath. Feeders are active, especially during the snow events. Snow that has fallen lately is less than an inch and gone in a day. Should be easy to till the soil in the garden this week due to limited moisture.  View

 Near Normal, under 1" of precipitation in a week. But what's changed is that the moisture is moving, not longer "locked" in one phase (frozen). All of the wet spots from a week ago, of the spring-melt type, big gloppy puddles, are much drier and there are new wet spots of the more humdrum-spring-rain type. We did have a traditional sugar snow: heavy and yet fluffy all around the freezing point. I believe we are at mid-maple season now? Weather is in an uproar, changing it's type about every 6 hours now: snow, rain, ice, thunderstorm, wind, and then a sunny burst. In the garden, snowdrops want to bloom, but they are tentative: happy one day, snow covered the next. Daffodil leaves are ~3" high. The ground is still heaving mightily. Many, many geese flocks overhead. Birds have mostly abandoned feeders now and are picking through what fell to the ground before snow covered it up. Bunny rabbit, who used to be visible at night as a small round dark patch against the snow, now blends into the brown ground so well, he can't be seen. Allergies are also variable: fine one day, miserable the next. The increased light is noticed. We are changing seasons.  View

 With .38" of rain this past week, the total for March is .71". The shock of going from 75 to 32 degrees in less than 12 hours that resulted in a heavy frost last week has not slowed the growth of winter weeds and the continuing budding of oak and pine trees. Azalea is budding. Maple flowering is complete. Some daffodils have finished blooming. Forsythia is in bloom now. Clary sage growth has really increased since last week, and winter wheat still looks good. Water levels in area field ditches has dropped, with some having no standing water.

 Though we had rather a lot of rain in a few days last week, it was not so severe as the previous flood event earlier this year. The creek only came up about a foot, and with drier days over the weekend, it is dropping again. The local rivers look almost full and muddy. I had to take a detour early Saturday morning due to a flooded roadway, however, by that afternoon, no signs of the morning flood remained, not only was the foot of water gone, but the road looked dry. My lawn is looking very lush indeed. Fire danger is low, and backyard burning season is open. I feared that all my piles of debris might be wet enough from last weeks rains to result in a very smoky fire, but that was not the case, they burned relatively cleanly. The soil is pretty soft and muddy. I've had a flock of chickens penned up in my garden, and they have raked probably a couple wheelbarrows full of small rocks to the surface. Birds are nesting. Territorial calls are down, and birds are being rather more sneaky. Daffodils, Spanish bells, grape hyacinths, and Lenten roses continue to bloom, and the forsythia has the best bloom I have ever seen. There is a good supply of young stinging nettles sprouting up in the forest, and chickweed, red dead nettle, mouse ear cress, and bittercress are all mature and in full bloom - even a few dandelions are blooming. Chickens are laying at above 90%. I've been seeing quite a few moths in the evenings and pre-dawn hours. Some spiderlings turned up floating in my rain gauge this week. (I thought that was supposed to be a fall event) New leaves are emerging on the blackberries. I've transplanted some trees and shrubs. The red alders and hazelnuts have elongated catkins now - I haven't checked for pollen, but I notice some people seem to have itchy, runny, noses.  View

 The first half of March (1-16) has been somewhat drier than normal with 1.51" versus NOAA normal of 1.85". The water year (Oct. 1-Mar. 16) deficit has increased to 5.75" with a total of 11.53" or only 67% of the normal. A bigger story was the extraordinary warmth--the first 15 days of March were the warmest on record at KROA climate site (since 1912) and top 3 at all five regional climate stations. At KROA temps ran +10.9F for the period at 56.8F, 0.5F above the previous 'record' back in 1921. Spring is well underway with many trees and shrubs flowering. A strong cold front will cross the area today with forecast temps. dropping into the low 20s, will not be easy on vegetation. The daily (3/15/26) mean flow for the USGS gage on the Roanoke River at Roanoke at 258 cfs, in the Below Normal category. The cumulative flow (as of 3/15) since the start of the water year remains just below the 25th percentile of total flow for period. Carvins Cove local water supply reservoir (as of 3/15) was at -10.0 feet below full pond a -0.3 ft. drop in the past two weeks (75.7% of capacity, +6.0%). The US Drought Monitor (USDM) map valid as of 3/10/26 showed very little change in the past two weeks with Moderate Drought (D1) across the upper Roanoke Valley and Severe Drought (D2) over much of central VA. The NWS Climate Prediction Center (CPC) 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks (as of 3/15/26) show an extraordinary upper level ridge building across the western CONUS with extreme warmth likely across the southwest and central states. In the East, a very dry period is forecast with closer to normal temperatures. Per the latest from the CPC (3/9/26), La Niña remains present in the tropical Pacific with a 3-month Relative Oceanic Niño Index (RONI) of -0.9 for the DJF 3-month period. Consensus forecasts continue to indicate a transition to ENSO-neutral in the next few months and then possibly to El Niño by mid-summer although the impact on precipitation patterns remains unclear. Will show a one-category decline in conditions for this update to Moderately Dry as spring is well underway and the longer term precipitation deficits and warmth maintain pressure on water supplies.  View

 Conditions colder with fresh snow this past week. Snowpack is 38cm, or 15” deep, higher than the climate normal for March (24cm). Water and sewage infrastructure remains well-insulated, and we had no issues from an extended absence this winter. Ski conditions are excellent at on both the Nordic trails and downhill club. Packed walking trails through the bush are good for walking. Snowshoeing on the fresh snow on the lake was a challenge with occasional break through the crust below the fresh snow, from previous thaw/refreeze, and some slush. There was very little snowmachine activity on the ice this past week. Crows heard this weekend - the first spring arrival. Temperatures are forecasted above freezing for this week. Feels like a typical March pre-equinox.  View
