Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: IL-MCH-13
Station Name: Bull Valley 2.5 WNW
Report Date: 3/23/2025
Submitted: 3/23/2025 2:32 PM
Scale Bar: Moderately Dry
Description:
My station has had 1.20 inches of precip this week, and a small part of that was a 0.3 inch accumulation of snow on 3/20 - first day of spring. While the NOAA norms show my station at 154% of normal precip for the month, the norms show just 76% of normal precip for YTD. The week also saw gusty winds with a Wind Advisory issued on 3/19at 10am that expired 21 hrs later. The wind was so noisy the afternoon of 3/21 that it spooked our young dog. So I put her in her crate and played Spotify Relaxation Music for Dogs to block the wind noise - it worked. More Daffodils and Tulips are emerging, Snow Drops are in full bloom. Sandhill cranes continue to fly overhead.
