 The mild and dry weather continued with highs mostly in the 60's and lows mostly in the 20's. The high of the week was 65° on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday. The low of the week was 23° on Tuesday. Lows warmed up at the end of the week along with increased breeziness but nothing too strong. A prescribed burn is going on nearby and there was some smoke in the neighborhood on Wednesday. No precipitation fell last week. Some more garlic is coming up and pansies continue to bloom. The Christmas rose (Hellebores) is getting ready to bloom. Saw some Dark-eyed juncos in the yard but otherwise, no wildlife seen.  View

 Conditions are mildly dry after only having received 0.15” of rain in the last three weeks. Although it is winter and plants aren’t suffering from lack of rain the water bodies and soil moisture are below average. Some areas that are normally low and wet are dry and the small stream nearby is barely flowing. Temperatures have been average but we are expected to have very warm and dry conditions this next week. Wildfire threat is increasing.  View

 A series of atmospheric rivers dumped 7.41" of rain this week, and currently flooding with road closures are happening. The Mad River is 2 feet above monitor stage at 17 feet, and climbing. The Eel River at Fort Seward is at 24 feet and climbing. Drought map this week removed the coastal dy areas, but north and eastern Siskiyou and Modoc are showing abnormally dry. Commercial crab fishing in Humboldt County has been held back until January 15th. The week continued moderate, temperature wise, with the ARs: highs 57-60, lows 44-56. Several bushes began blooming on the 20th--normally don't bloom until April.  View

 Over 4 inches of rain since the last report, which is a relief. We're still behind the curve, but there is more rain in the forecast for the coming week. Strong gusty winds this morning and usually warm, so we may see the predicted thunderstorms today. Fortunately, the rain in our area has not been the extreme downpours plaguing north of us, so no issues with landslides or flooding here, at least so far. Still quite a few tourists in the area during this week, but the ocean was too rough for water sports. Lots of migrant birds in our gardens and I was able to spot the first ever Western Bluebird I've seen in the 15 years we've lived here. Great to see.  View

 While we did get some nice snow earlier this month (0.76” SWE), the temperatures have been unusually warm, and we have experienced intense and drying wind. We are at 1.38” for the water year, 50% of normal for this date. I have a few shrubs that may leaf out this week. We will be doing a lot of winter watering of trees and shrubs, as there are some highs this week expected near 70F. Lawns are looking dry. Snowpack in the mountain looks low.  View

 Happy Winter Solstice! Still moderately dry. In the past week I logged 0.06" of moisture. Extremely high winds have desiccated the ground. Most snowpack is gone except in areas sheltered from the sun and winds and where the snow drifted. Moisture received MTD 99% of Normal PRISM, YTD is 67% of Normal PRISM, and WYTD is 52% of Normal PRISM value. Snotel sites are reporting 67% SWE in my 6-Digit HUC, and 77% SWE in my 8-Digit HUC. Ground is very dry. We had very high winds the past week that damaged power infrastructure, some structure damage, and many downed trees in the area. In spite of the low Snotel values, there is plenty of snow in the high country for normal wintertime activities. There have even been a few anglers out on the Big Thompson below Olympus Dam. The rivers above the dam look low, but the one gauge that is reporting shows about average runoff for this time of year. Still lots of birds at my birdbath. We had a very large herd of elk come through a few days ago but have not seen many deer. Wild turkeys are ever-present. There is not a lot of grass or browse available right now, but at least for them it is not covered by snowpack. Long term that is going to be a problem with more soil moisture loss than normal. There are no new fire restrictions in my area, just the permanent Stage 1 restrictions in the park and in town.  View

General: This is a generally depressing condition monitoring report this week. I've uploaded a plot of snow accumulation for December spanning 1998 to present. We clearly represent the fact that this is the warmest fall on record in the Northwest. The trendline for snow accumulation reflects my uncalibrated measures before beginning with CoCoRaHS 6 years ago. The gauge catch shows a trend toward increase, except (of course) for this year. We are low on moisture. This decline in snow over the past 26 years or so underscores an important point, which is we are losing the snowpack that we depend on for our aquifer. Beaver dams are a powerful way to charge the aquifer, if they are permitted to be built and retained (see plants and wildlife comment, below). The outlook is, frankly, as predicted in the mid-1970s when climate scientists said the the year 2025 would be a year of many tipping points. Agriculture: The winter wheat looks a little stressed for moisture. Energy: We're clearly in the low production phase for solar energy, with overcast days. We consumed 41.73 kWHR yesterday and only produced 21.68 kWHR. Our consumption is higher because half of our heating system is down and we have been waiting for a part for about a month. We are heating with space heaters, which is about as inefficient as you can get. Fire: low risk right now Plants/wildlife: We still have a flock of robins, which is wildly bizarre for December 21. We're seeing chickadees and juncos, and a few flickers. Deer are still around. Unfortunately, a crew from Bannock County breached the beaver dam on Buckskin with a backhoe this week, destroying the beaver pond that is used by migrating birds, moose, and other wildlife. The pond was iced over, so I doubt if the beavers can recover. I doubt they can repair the dam in winter, and don't know if they can move to another location. This is a blow to the wildlife and the aquifer, of course. The water from the dam was getting close to the road, and I'm certain that was the reason for the county's action. I wonder if there might have been another way of working with the problem that would have left the wetlands relatively intact. Water: We're down on snow pack, snowfall, and gauge catch. This does not bode well for the aquifer that serves Pocatello and surrounding area. The farmers in the Pocatello valley depend on the aquifer for irrigation, and they may find shortages affect their ability to grow crops.  View

 We are on a bit of a roller coaster ride with temperatures. Things slowly warm up and then a couple of back to back cold fronts swing through and cool things down quickly and then a slow climb back up. We had some good rain this past week while it was warm but in that same day two cold fronts pushed through with one bringing much cooler temps and ice pellets briefly and then another much colder front with snow flurries. The late drop of leaves this fall have leaves everywhere that will persist on the ground for a while unless people pickup the wet leaves or they dry out and some good winds blow them away.  View

 Category D1 still remains. No snow received this week, it just gradually melted away. 24.3 inches received at my station so far this Water Year and it is all melted. Snowpack is now set to zero, a clean slate for 2026. Less than tenth inch of rain was received, followed by more wind gusts and cold temps. On the 18th, another Highway incident occurred during Winter Storm Warning and Blizzard in the NW upper pocket of Iowa. More stranded motorists and Travel not advised. Furnace still on, with a little sparing use of a few Space Heaters needed. Have heard some birds and today saw a deer running on the street, my dog wanted to chase it. Overall Mood-Everyone was happy for the snow to melt. Happy that the Sun came out. Grateful for warmer temps and not have to shovel and snow blow on a Saturday. However, a lot are bummed out about not having a White Christmas. Just go look in the backyard in the shade, I am sure there will still be some left there. Looking ahead, Christmas Day will be near in the 50s, so it might be warm enough to try out some presents outdoors without getting frostbite. Happy Holidays and Happy Winter Solstice everyone :):)  View

 Only a tenth of rainfall the past week as snow melted away. Temps averaged a bit under one degree above normal. According to the Cocorahs Dex data, December is at 47% of normal precip. I guess at some point I will have to push it to moderately dry if precip continues to be lacking. Otherwise, a brown Christmas is coming. It could be a LOT worse, snow and temp-wise. Funny, as a kid snow was fun, as an older adult, snow equals work and falling on your butt. Have a Great Christmas anyway :)  View

 0.74” total catch in the preceding week, including 3.5” of snowfall (long since melted away). MTD total stands at 2.03” against a PRISM average of 5.15” – so we may end December a bit light (though certainly ahead when it comes to the first quarter of the water year). Low sun angles are helping to keep things pretty moist. Skim ice on much of the pond has melted away. Duck population seems more normal – it was big before. Other wildlife activity and pond level all normal.  View

 Winter solstice is today, and weather conditions match that well. Temperatures came in a wide range, Monday morning was 14° and Friday's morning temp was 54°. We had some precip early and late in the week with three nice days in the middle. Total precip for the week stayed under an inch at 0.82". Friday was the wettest, windyest and warmest day (reported Saturday of course), with temps in the 50s and 0.63" rainfall. Winds were howling that day even after they had weakened in their the trek across country. Conditions are pretty average. The warm temps and rain melted the snowpack. Birds and critters are out and about, as usual. The local ski hill is back to making snow after much of their base melted away too. Lots of holidays to celebrate this week, and daylight hours will begin to get longer as well. Happy and healthy celebrations to all!  View

 The past week was a roller coaster between winter and thawing conditions. We've had 3 days of precipitation totaling 0.37" falling as 0.26" of rain during a mid-week thaw, and the rest fell as 2.5" of snow. We have had a 25-day continuous snowpack since 11/27/2025; and this week it started at 8.0" with 1.32" of water content, which was mostly released into the environment as the snowpack melted down to 0.5" as of today. We've had roller coaster temperatures this week with highs getting into the mid 40's(F) mid week and dropping back into the 20's today. Conditions this week have been Near Normal. Birds are showing up at the bird feeder every day and squirrels are active. Many schools and activities throughout Western Michigan have been canceled during the week due to very icy roads. Walking has been very treacherous this week on icy sidewalks. There have been many traffic accidents. I got my gas bill this month and almost fell off my chair it was so high.  View

 Bitterly cold temperatures, +3F, and a five-inch snowpack covering 100% of the ground introduced the week. However, approaching the winter solstice, temperatures fluctuated but were on a warming trend overall. By Friday, all the persistent snowpack melted away but was then briefly replaced by a light confection of new snow. As of this writing, the only remnants of snow are a few drifts and some isolated shady spots. The gauge catch recorded 0.34 inches of precipitation, mostly from rain. 0.9 inches of measurable snow fell, likely more at the end of the week but high winds swept the snowboard clean of any potential accumulation. SWE was 0.04 inches. Monday’s snowpack measured 5.0 inches with 0.78 inches of SWE. Drainage ditches picked up some water flow and Hickory Creek is running well from melting snow and Friday’s rain. No flooding observed. The absence of snow, inconsistent temperatures, and high winds have inhibited outdoor recreation but indoor gyms are vibrant with folks going indoors for their cardio. Overall, conditions are mildly wet.  View

Total precipitation (a mix of rain and snowmelt) for our station this past week is 0.09 inches with 0.94 inches for the month of December to date and 30.18 inches of total precipitation year-to-date (93% - 98% of normal from last year). Total snowfall this week is 0.90 inches. Total snowpack depth this morning is 6.5 inches with a melted value of 1.08 inches (average of two separate measurements of 6 & 7 inches depth with 0.95 & 1.20 inches melted value). Temperatures have ranged from about -10°F below zero to the low 40’s. The past week in Oak Grove was characterized by significant temperature volatility and classic early-winter conditions. The week began with extreme cold on December 14-15, seeing a low of -10°F followed by a sharp warming trend mid-week, peaking on December 16 with an unseasonably high temperature of 43°F. As of today, December 21, temperatures have returned to more seasonal freezing cold levels, with a high in the mid teens and an overnight low about -5°F. Winds throughout the week averaged 10–15 mph with especially strong winds on Thursday and Friday, contributing to a persistent wind chill. Agricultural activity in Anoka County is currently in its winter dormancy phase. No planting or harvesting of major field crops occurred this week. Local activity is primarily limited to Christmas tree farms, which remain in their peak season for retail sales. Deciduous trees, including the region's prominent white oaks and maples, are in full dormancy. Conifers remain the primary green element in the landscape. Recent snow and slush from earlier in the month have left a moderate base in wooded areas Many local mammals, such as woodchucks and black bears, have entered deep hibernation. However, winter-active species remain visible, including bald eagles, trumpeter swans, and occasionally geese are spotted near open water on the Rum River. Grey squirrels, voles, and mice are active under the snow cover. Birds visiting feeders include black-capped chickadees, northern cardinals, blue jays, downy and hairy woodpeckers, juncos, and nuthatches. Groomed trails for cross-country skiing are open at Rum River Central Regional Park, while snowshoeing is popular in the Cedar Creek Conservation Area. Ice fishing has commenced on a few lakes in the area, but ice thickness is questionable given the unseasonably warm temperatures earlier in the week. December 2025 has trended closer to historical averages with more consistent snow cover and a colder start to the month. We are ending the week as we did last week with a partly cloudy, deep blue sky, crisp air, calm winds with near normal to mildly dry conditions and highs in the low 20's.  View

The Temperature went on a roller coaster starting with a low of -9° eventually reaching a high of 45° and noticeable Snow melt or maybe just evaporation, as there was little water flow. The Winds were most noticeable as I recorded gusting up to 47mph. A few nuisance Snow Showers kept some of us busy with daily shoveling and clearing. Although a neighbor on the block has not cleared his private or public sidewalks since the beginning, and instead a couple days ago just dumped BAGS of salt over everything, including the plow mounds and expecting it to do miracles. I’m sure this will be great for the waterways in the Spring. Current Snowpack is 7.0”, 1.35 SWE. Forecast: Mostly Cloudy, Temps stable, mid 30’s to mid 20’s, no Precipitation.  View

 Weekly precipitation was 0.28 inches. We had a few light showers in the area last Saturday afternoon with a frontal passage that amounted to a Trace reported on Sunday December 14, 2025. That Sunday was clear and blustery with an arctic air mass digging in and a lo/hi of 20/38. Monday was clear and 18/38. Tuesday mainly sunny and 23/52. Wednesday was mainly cloudy with light showers and mist in the area in the morning (0.05) and a lo/hi of 41/57. Thursday 50/67 saw more clouds in the morning and an air mass shift to the warmer side with showers between sunrays in the early afternoon before a quick squall just before 5pm (just before sunset) brought 0.23 inches and an air mass shift back to the cooler side. Friday 34/52 was sunny and nice. Yesterday (Saturday December 20, 2025) 37/67 featured a sunny sky and a gusty Southerly wind 12-21 gusting to 31. The meager 0.28 inches of rainfall reported for the week has been blown away with all the wind and we are approaching conditions of dryness that are nearly "moderate" again. The water year that ended on October 1st showed a normal precipitation year. The actual year Jan1 through Dec 31 is currently at 47.12 inches which is around 7.5 inches below normal (55.24 inches is avg for PRISM). NOAA precipitation has been adjusted down for this area to 53.79 inches per year average. We still have 10 days left to make up some of that ground. Area waterways and bayous and swamps are lower than normal and the ground is easily capable of soaking up a few inches of rain (if it came slowly). People are running wells to flood fields for waterfowl in the area (usually mother nature puts most of the water in the fields after boarding up culverts). That has not been the case so far this year. Other observations: A secondary peak of color is occurring now with regards to oak trees (of which we have a lot). After these leaves tumble, the delta becomes a very dormant and brown landscape.  View

 Pastures and yards are green in spite of the drought persisting since Summer. Stockpiled Winter forage is disappearing quickly. Fire risk is relatively low. Soil moisture is improved from earlier this Fall; however, pond levels are still 12 - 18 inches below normal. Deer are abundant and feed fearlessly in open fields.  View

 Climate change again was very evident this week with two rainfall episodes. One produced 1/3 inches of rain and the other a little over 1/10. A bad windstorm followed the 1/3 inch evident with gusts near 70 MPH. Only a few snow flurries occurred later in the week. Only the higher mountains in the area are dotted with snow.  View

 With over 2" of precip in the past week, and over 5" in December, have to call it severely wet. Local stream is like early spring runoff levels. Severe windstorm this week knocked down lots of trees, and powerlines. High country is finally building a snowpack, but not much in low and mid elevations  View

 Ground is solid ice. Snow patches are at most, an inch deep. Some is solid. Some is soft. Cool. 30 degrees. Light breeze. No birds or squirrels out yet. Sun was just a thin line along the horizon. Winter Solstice at 10:03 AM today! Now days will be getting longer. Have had Flickers, Nuthatches, Chickadees, Blue Jays, both Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, Jincos, Doves, and Cardinals at or around the feeders. Have seen pigeons, Crows, and Ducks flying overhead. Squirrels are still out. No chipmunks. Still using both furnace and heat pump in response to temperature. Got a record high temperature of 56 last Wednesday which broke the record of 54 in 1899. Water supply and quality is good. City water. Merrimack River was unfrozen a couple days ago, due to high temperature. Skiing and other winter activities should be great up north.  View

 No precipitation this week, .03" in the last month. There was still a little snow visible high in the Black Range on north slopes late in the week and a little water in one stretch of the creek locally. Bird population seems about normal in the yard, but numbers of species and individuals are markedly low in the general area, away from supplemental feed and water.  View

 Debated. Was this the week to slip to Near Normal? It was looking like a tough call. We had 11" of snow melt this week, which was the equivalent of 1.50" of water, plus ~0.50" of new precipitation, plus "Trace" reported every day. However, I just checked the basement and it is surprisingly on the dry side. The melting did remove some frost as the ground became squishy and heaved a little. But either that 1.50"+ of water went down only slightly and refroze in place OR the water barely made a dent in how dry the ground is, because it didn't appear to flow *through* the ground. Outside, the ground feels hard again (below freezing temps) but also, the dead leaves are crispy. The humidity has felt wintery-low due to both cold temps and a pretty windy week. So, sticking with Mildly Dry. Two unusual reports of deer deep inside of villages. This was when there was ~9-11" of snow on the ground. Otherwise, winter birds observed and evidence of rabbits. Feels unusual to see the ground again after a few weeks of snowcover. I guess that's what I get for saying that we were rocking the "White Christmas" vibe here...as now it is looking like we won't have one. Still, the solstice is imminent so the light is winning. We are on the upswing now.  View
