A little snow fell on Thursday but barely any collected on the ground with most melting when it hit the ground. It was cooler with highs mostly in the 50's except on Thursday when the high was only 41°. The high of the week was 54° on Thursday. Lows ranged from a low of 46° last Sunday to 27° on Friday. It was windy last Sunday and a little breezy, at times, on a few other days. No change to plant life in the surrounding open areas. Besides birds, no wildlife seen. |

| Conditions have improved and are back to normal after receiving 4.77” of rain this week. The rain replenished the soil moisture and the water body levels. The small stream nearby is flowing again back to normal for the time of year. Temperatures have been mild for most of the week but have cooled off to average the last couple of days. Plants/crops are growing well, especially with the rain and warm weather we had this week. Most of the trees have dropped off their leaves. There is no fire danger at this time. |

| Another atmospheric river since the last report. A total of 2.5 inches, bringing the total for the month to 6.78 and no significant rain is forecast through the end of the month. So,this is about half of the rainfall we had last November, but more than November 2023. We need above 40 inches during the rainy season to recharge the ground water, so fingers crossed. Ocean conditions were difficult for fishing or water sports for most of the week. A good number of tourists in the area, and more will come for Thanksgiving. We have a big group of Juncos in the gardens now, along with other winter migrants such as Fox Sparrows. Still waiting to see the warblers show up--they are insect eaters and much more at risk now. |

| General awareness: We're down over our 4-year average for moisture, as well as our 26 year average for snowfall. We expect 11" of snow in November, but have had none yet. We expect 1.29" (sd = 1.6") of liquid, and have only received .73. We are actually up for the water year. We expect 2.82" (4 year average) and have received 3.56" thanks to October.
Agriculture: The winter wheat looks good. We always hold our breath for snow pack.
Energy: Saturday was partly cloudy and we produced 12.92 kWHR and used 30.94 kWHR, so we're using more than we produce. Friday we produced more than we used.
Fire: Pretty low risk. People are burning their slash piles.
Plants/wildlife: Saw a couple of ducks on the Buckskin pond, as well as a moose!

| With a shot of rain this week, I am going to keep this station at Mildly Dry. The 0.44" that fell on Monday into Tuesday soaked in and the following four days were foggy with light rain. I am sure the subsoil is dry, but the topsoil is soft under foot, and my grass had grown. I mulched leaves yesterday and took a decent cut of grass after mowing a week and half prior. Even though this station is short for MTD and WYTD, YTD is still Near Normal for 30 Year NOAA Norm. Area rivers continue to be very low. For them to rise there needs to be precipitation and run off to the north. It appears most fall farm work is completed. The week will start off with mild temps and a chance for rain, before the temps drop by the end of the week. Let's hope there is a good shot of soaking rain before the ground begins to freeze. |

| Weather is much like what is expected for the third week of November - below freezing most nights and windy. Last Sunday was rainy with 0.55" followed with 0.03" yesterday, the week in between was a mix of cloudy and sunny days. Daytime temps were pleasant for outdoor fall cleanup to-do's. Pretty normal.
Fallen leaves cleanup is done, trying again to keep the balance of keeping the resources of the spent pollinator garden and its seeds and all for the birds while also avoiding a look of an abandoned wasteland. There were a few other birds around this week beyond the usual crows and sparrows. Lots of starlings announced themselves several times this week. There are a small group of bluejays that have been around for several days now (half dozen or so). A couple of the jays were interacting with the crows in the open field across the street - getting closer and closer to the crows, almost like they were taunting them. It could be "normal" but it's a behavior I have not seen before.
Other critters include Juncoes, squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks (with cheeks full of maple seeds).
With winter weather not far behind, I plan to get the snowboard in place this week now that the leaves are gone and before the ground freezes (for the markers).
Happy Thanksgiving! |

| The past 2 weeks we've had 5 days of precipitation totaling 0.47" falling as rain and 4.5" of snow. At one point our snowpack on the ground reached a maximum of 3.0". Most days had seasonal average temperatures, giving us between Mildly Dry and Near Normal conditions. Grass is green and growth has slowed towards dormancy. Most of our trees dropped their remaining leaves very suddenly with the arrival of the snowy weather 2 weeks ago (see attached photo), though some oak, beech and few odd trees are hanging on to their leaves. Birds are showing up in greater numbers at the bird feeder, and moles have reappeared on the surface of lawns after sounding to deeper depths for a while. Local farmers are mostly done harvesting their fields. |

| The past week has brought some light rain showers and it has been seasonably cool for most of the week. The soil is damp but not wet as the rain had the time to soak in gradually. The trees have shed 90-100% of their leaves and most of the bushes have lost theirs as well. Birds have continued to feed on seeds, from feeders, and to some extent on insects available. Most of the migratory birds visible have moved to their southern ranges and those coming from northern areas are present here. Small mammals have been active and working on making nests. Larger mammals are visibly moving including predators such as coyotes. |
