| Lake levels still very low, even though December rain has been close to normal. Upper Lake Lafayette and Lake Jackson still prairie lakes. We are only about 2.5 inches below normal for the calendar year but the extremely dry September, October, and November has taken a toll. |

| Even though we had 0.64 inches of rain, there has been no noticeable improvement in the drought conditions. River levels are still way below normal, the ground is cracking, sinkholes are opening. Our area is highly dependent on water activities. Wildfires easily start. |

| Multi-year snowpack deficit continues, combined with another very warm and dry late summer and fall. SWE of 7" snowpack is 1.33" so would need a couple more feet of snow this winter to catch up. Deer and wildlife are good, tourism fair due to marginal snow cover on all trails. |

| Another day of over 60 degrees in December! My rosemary bush has been blooming, and today there’s many bees on it. In December! At 7500’ in the foothills there’s still patches of snow where sun is never there, but no snow at all in town at 7000’. |

| I selected Mildly Dry based on rainfall amounts and that the soil appears moist. We had rainfall of 0.59 inches a few days ago and with the cool to cold weather, there has been little evaporation. |

| Over the past week there have been several Alberta clippers dropping substantial snow here, over 22cm. Snow cover on the ground is about 22 cm deep, providing decent insulation over rural infrastructure such as septic fields and water lines. Freshly covered forest trails will require snowshoes. The downhill ski hill opened on the weekend, and Nordic trails are groomed and active. Snowmobilers are reporting deep slush areas over frozen waterways due to heavy snowfall. The bird feeder is busy with downy and hairy woodpeckers, blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees, and pine and evening grosbeaks. No redpolls, siskins, or purple finches have been sighted yet. Feeling like a pretty typical December going into Christmas week. |
