| Exceptionally dry this month. I recorded only a .10 of an inch of precipitation for the month of February compared to the 30 year average of 1.84". Exposed soils are quite dry and there has been a day or two where red flag warnings have been issued due to elevated fire danger. On the other hand, the benefit has been natural area managers have been able to get a few controlled burns completed a little earlier than normal. I am hoping for a good rain this coming week as the forecast calls for. |

| Thus far for my “Watershed,” that resides in the “Upper Passaic River” Watershed, that covers from 1.5 miles to the NW to about 1.5 miles to the SE and is about 1 mile in width and in the general shape of a diamond;
There were four days with measurable precipitation and one day with trace precipitation for a total of 1.63”, the past seven days [Sunday-Saturday].
River and stream volume the past week of this CMR increased their rates of flow over small lake dams west of this station. As of Sunday afternoon, 3/1/2026; one increased its flow to 100% the width of the dam 6.5 miles from this station moving at a slow volume with observable turbidity. The other, 2 miles to the west, increased its flow over min its fall, covering about 80% of its respective fall and moving at a similar volume also with observable turbidity. The Madison Golf Course, adjacent this station remains closed for the season. The ground around this station is frozen and hydrated and is holding a snowpack now of 7.5 inches. This continues to be the longest period this station has held ANY snowpack since monitoring this station at this location, now at 44 days as of this report! Grass and weeds remain dormant for the season. “Marcescence” continues to shroud Juvenal Oak’s with 55% of their leaves (est). House Finch, Blue Jays, and Dark Eyed Junkos continued very active this week including a ‘murder’ of Crows that still visit this station location. Also; the male and female Cardinals were observed again around this station. The feeder that was 100% consumed as of the morning of 2/25 was refilled the morning of 2/27 and as of this report the evening of 3/2, was 25% consumed. Neighborhood squirrels were observed. The first Frost observation for this station, this season, was reported on October 10th. Since then; I have observed and reported a total of 41 days with frost, 3 additional the past seven days.
Over the past 31 days; this station has captured and reported 2.39 inches of precipitation. There has been 19 days of precipitation the previous 59 days of CY2026 [1/1/2026 to 2/28/2026] for a “Calendar Year” [CY] total of
5.34”, compared to a total of 20 days of precipitation and a [CY] total of
4.34” the same [year to date] in CY2025. So far, compared to last year, this station has received 1.00” more precipitation than a year ago. Some other totals from previous years, for comparison, are;
YTD2024- 8.40”
YTD2023- 6.73”
YTD2022- 7.23”
YTD2021- 8.03”
YTD2020- 5.39”
YTD2019- 8.27”
YTD2018- 9.69”
YTD2017- 6.73”
YTD2016- 10.83”
YTD2015- 6.76” (First full Year.)
The TWELVE year running average reported precipitation for this station is: 7.31 inches, holding this station at a deficit of 1.97” less then the 12 (CY) year average and still HOLDING this year to date, as the DRIEST start to a year. Considering the twelve year annual comparable total for this station and considering the previous years total precipation, is why I believe that it is appropriate to continue this week’s report at the “Mildly Dry” side of the Condition Scale Bar.

| After the first two months of the year my neighborhood is 2 1/3 inches down from normal precipitation. My area continues to be outside the main/heaviest area of any precipitation front that goes through SW Ohio. Another drought year ahead, I think. |
