| I have never seen it this dry, without snow in the shade. My bees do not know what season it is and they have no forage. I am not sure if my grass is dead or dormant? Its bad, really bad here in Castle Rock. |

| Conditions are mildly dry. Pond level slightly below normal. Top foot of soil profile near normal. The soil profile below 1 foot is still dry. This may have a minor effect on some plants in about 2 weeks when spring begins unless we get another significant rainfall this week. We were fortunate to get a significant rainfall several days ago. Doe Run Lake Reservoir still on the low side in Kenton County; but not as low. Also A. J. Jolly lake in Campbell County still is low; but not as low as it was a week ago. This lake still is too low to use the boating docks. It is still winter yet; but may affect boating in this park when spring comes in 2 weeks unless we get another significant rainfall in late February. |

| no remaining snowpack and soil drying at surface. Strong swirling windy periods are drying soil and creating dangerous fire spread conditions. More frequent than usual passage of coyote thru property as well as deer. Lots of bird feeder activity..

| Mostly cloudy and cold with light winds, then mostly cloudy and cold overnight with light winds and predawn fog. The high temperature was around forty one degrees, and the low around thirty three degrees Fahrenheit. Songbirds are eating a feederful every day. Flocks of small birds are appearing. The local intermittent stream and nearby trout stream are flowing at Winter levels. Some stream crossings are difficult due to snow drifts and ice. Ice is beginning to melt on the streams. |

| Even though we have received 1.12 inches of rain yesterday, we are still dry with respect to our ground level water. So far, we have received 1.36 inches of precipitation this month. This puts us about average on a per diem basis. More precipitation is forecast for later this week.
The Forsythia has a new shoot with many buds on it. All the other vegetation appears dormant.
We have are seeing some additional species such as a Pine Siskins and Warblers. The feed is going down fast even though the weather is milder than last week. I think the number of birds finding our feeders has increased. |

| We got a half inch of rain over the weekend which puts my area about two inches down from the normal. Our precipitation in January had an inch deficit. We appear to be on the way to dryness and possibly drought in 2026. |

| Only 0.28” of precipitation last week. I was digging up my raised garden bed this week. It was 2’ deep. The first 4-5 inches of soil were very dry but the remaining soil was surprisingly damp. I know, I know, a raised bed is different than the soil in the ground but I thought it was interesting |

| We had a good rain on Saturday with 1.24 inches. That soaked in very well as it lasted for several hours. Plants and trees are normal. The Live Oaks are beginning to shed their leaves. Winter grasses are beginning to show more. Birds and wildlife are doing well at my feeders. Area lakes are rising and full, mostly east of I35W. Lakes west of I35W are little changed. |
