Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: ID-BK-27
Station Name: Inkom 5.5 N
Report Date: 3/30/2025
Submitted: 3/30/2025 6:53 AM
Scale Bar: Mildly Wet
Description:
General:  The 25 year long-term (uncalibrated) average for this site is 104.22" of snow, and we are now at 118.73.  This is really good news.  I spoke to my neighbor who does dryland farming and we are in good shape for spring crops.
Agriculture:  We're looking good for soil moisture
Energy:  Our solar panels are creating more energy than we consume:  Yesterday, produced 53.28 kWHR, used 46.40.  The system was sized for 98% capacity, but that was before we converted to heat pumps.  Yesterday was partly cloudy.
Fire:  Risk is low, since there's a lot of standing water and snow on the ground yet.
Plants/wildlife: The Sandhill Cranes are back, looking for nesting spots...always a welcome harbinger of spring.  We are seeing ducks on ponds, which are starting to show open water.
Water:  We're looking good, based on the last 25 years.
