| FIRE - Slight improvement with some precipitation this week. However, some of that precipitation has already evaporated account day and night temperatures 8° to 12° above normal.
ENERGY - as reported above wtth the higher than normal temperatures, energy consumption is up due to the AC running more than usual.
GENERAL - Heaavy storms were reported and forecast for unusual amounts of precipitation. But I do believe they did not produce as much as the TV Weather Forecasters predicted. At least looking at the CoCoRaSH reports did not indicated those levels. |

| A total of 1.08" of rain fell over the week with most all of it falling yesterday. Luckily, the frost is out of the ground so most of the rain was able to soak into the soil. The surface is wet right now and deeper soil should have benefited from yesterday's rain. So maybe near normal soil conditions have arrived. Waterways improved from their lower levels and the nearby pond did come up a bit but is still too low. Trees are just beginning to wake up from winter and area lawns definitely look greener after our rain. But it is still March so roller coaster weather is more than likely and Old Man Winter may have a surprise or two for us before departing. Wildlife hasn't changed much from last week. Been seeing a few birds and some deer tracks in my yard. And heard the first thunder for the year yesterday. It's been so long that I forgot what it sounded like. Ok, not really. |

| 2025 ended with Oct/Nov/Dec almost 3 inches below normal in total. 2026 has shown improvement in overall rainfall, with Jan/Feb being 1.8" above normal for the two months, and March looking like we will have above normal rains. The ponds that went almost dry, some of which had never been observed that low in the past decade, are now recovering. Hopeful that this Spring continues to give above average rainfall and fill up our ponds/lakes and other waterways. Wildlife - early migrants are starting to return to Kansas. I don't have enought historical data to prove this, but the fly-catchers are returning early in my opinion. Late Feb and early March have been unseasonably warm and I believe that is driving the early migration of many birds in general. Agriculture - winter crops like wheat and other feed dealt with the end of 2025 ok, and are now looking fantastic with the additional rains. |

| Two weeks have passed with only half an inch of rain to measure. Fog on Tuesday morning was dense. It didn’t hang around too long. Bare soil, in the area of turf renovation, is cracking on the surface but remains moist just a little deeper. No standing water in the drainage ditches. Lawn grasses, especially St. Augustine grass, have started growing in sunny locations and are in need of cutting. Oak trees are beginning to leaf out along with cypress, mulberry, and some cultivars of mayhaw trees. Pecan trees are still sleeping. The large flower pots of petunias did not need watering this week. As many as 30 cowbirds have taken over the feeding table at times during the day. In the early morning hours, a dozen mourning doves routinely feed on whatever is available and do a good job cleaning up the milo seeds that overpopulate the brand of wild bird seeds I’m using. Fire hazard warning in this area has been discontinued. |

The amount of precipitation measured was more than the last update of 0.50 inches of precipitation for the previous week of (2/22/26-2/28/26). There was 0.69 inches of precipitation that was recorded at station NY-MR-89 for the month of March compared to the normal climatology precipitation at KROC airport for the month is 0.56 inches of precipitation. There was 0.2 inches of snowfall measured for the week of 3/1/26-3/7/26. There was 0.2 inches of snowfall that was recorded at station NY-MR-89 so far for the month of March compared to the normal climatology snowfall at KROC airport for the month is 5.5 inches. Conditions have remained the same since the last update from last week with the area seeing some beneficial and measurable precipitation in the form of liquid and frozen precipitation over this past week. The area is currently considered moderately dry (Moderate Drought) which has remained the same (unchanged) since the last update due despite the area receiving beneficial rain and snow precipitation. The sump pump has been pumping periodically during the week due to the ground becoming unfrozen and melting of snowpack occurring with some days during the week due to mild air invading the environment a couple days this week to allow for above freezing temperatures this week to allow for melting of the snowpack to infiltrate into the ground and the mild air in the environment arriving late Friday is allowing the remainder of the frozen precipitation sitting on the ground last week and several weeks prior (no snowpack currently on the ground other than piles in shaded areas before Saturday morning, but all melted away by Saturday afternoon) to melt and infiltrate into the ground. Outdoor activities have been good for walking outside with some mild air in the environment late week and no shoveling of snow had taken place due to very little snow accumulation this week accumulating before melting occurred and a nice one day warmup for Saturday with temperatures reaching into the low 70s. Furnace has been working about the same to heat the house due to the mild air and some days with above average temperatures the area has been experiencing in the week, but was given a nice break Saturday afternoon with temperatures warming into the low 70s. The warmup on Saturday this week allowed for the yard to be cleaned up from winter by cleaning up down branches and trimming dead dogwood branches despite the ground being very muddy with all the snowpack melting and rain falling. So far, the total precipitation for the month of March is currently above average and total snowfall is currently below average. |

Our seven day Storm Total precipitation for this week is 0.53" inches and based on the observations from the National Weather Services' radar we are in just a temporary break in the rain with more expected here in a few minutes. Next, this rainfall has greatly improved soil moisture here at my location and with more rain expected hopefully we can get rid of this pesky drought. Also there is a lot more in the way of grass and wildflowers this week when compared to last week, and our Eastern Redbud trees along with our Kieffer Pear tree are blooming with flowers at this time.
