| This past week started cold (low of 10°F and high of 34°F on 18 Jan) and dry, turned colder (low of 12°F and high of 21°F on 19 Jan) before warming up midweek (low of 34°F and high of 48°F on 20 Jan), and finished the week with air temps falling as low as 1°F early this (24 Jan) morning. Currently it is 3 °F with light snow and mostly cloudy. It has been very cloudy lately; solar panels have generated very little power. Winds are out of the NE at 7mph, gusting to 12mph. Snow has been falling since just before 9am; very lightly at first but steadily now and picking up pace. Upon inspection prior to the snow starting, I noted that soils in the garden are bone dry. Excavated trenches around new foundation at rear of property so dried out now that soil eroding from trench walls cover the footings with a thick layer of light pulverized alluvium. Temps midweek were warm enought to allow final drylocking of foundation, however much loose fallen loess soil was excavated from atop the footing to allow for this Horsetail plants were green mid-week and now they are graying. Lawns are golden and brown except in low areas where some green is still slightly visible. Some low growing plant material in the garden is rather verdant. A dusting of snow covers the ground at 9:50am. Heard of someone in local Godfrey, Illinois who caught their lawn and that of a neighbor on fire last night attempting to burn brush; this appears to confirm: https://www.facebook.com/DownstateILscanner/posts/%F0%9D%97%A0%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%94%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%97%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%9C%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%A6%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%A2%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%A1%CD%9F-%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%96%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%A2%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%A8%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%A1%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%A7%CD%9F%F0%9D%97%AC%CD%9F-%CD%9F%F0%9D%9F%B5%CD%9F%F0%9D%9F%AD%CD%9F%F0%9D%9F%AD%CD%9F-2108-godfrey-fire-7505-mars-dr-godfrey-resi/1460182952777034/ |

| The overnight rain on Wednesday provided much-needed relief from irrigating the newly planted flower beds. The rest of the week was overcast, with dangerous winter storms expected to hit the eastern half of the country, starting Saturday. The weather predictions for Saturday and Sunday here include thunderstorms, while Monday and Tuesday are expected to bring bitter cold. Drainage ditches are currently at low levels due to the lack of runoff over the past few weeks. Road construction to add turning lanes to the highway in front of my home has finally restarted by laying new asphalt to the newly expanded highway surface. Work was done at night to avoid the heavy daytime traffic. Gold finches are here in large numbers feeding on sunflower seeds on the table. A fox squirrel has been eating alongside them. Cypress trees are sending out male flowers and Japanese maples are flowering. |

| A Winter Storm is ongoing at this time across the area, and this has resulted in a decent accumulation of sleet in addition to ice accretion on elevated surfaces. Our seven day precipitation total for this week is 1.55" inches, and based on forecasts we have more precipitation expected in a hour or so. Next, our soil moisture had started to improve when the precipitation started as rain yesterday, however additional improvement is expected once the water melts in a few days and begins absorbing into our soil. Lastly, area wildlife that I have spotted this morning have mainly been birds, and much of our trees limbs are sagging low due to the ice accretion on the limbs. |

| Fire danger is low (but I saw a report of a wildfire in southern Oregon - Jackson Co. I think). Two weeks with only a few drops of rain the other evening is kind of strange in January here. We didn't get really hard freezes at night until this past week. Now there are places where the ground doesn't thaw during the day, even though the temperature gets up to the mid 40's F. I am carrying water to my blueberries this week (as the hose is not functional), and the ground around their roots is probably quite dry. I also raked up wheelbarrows full of leaves off the trails in the forest and tossed them into the garden for my chickens to rake into the soil. The barn cats are finding a rodent every day, mostly mice, and a couple shrew-moles. In the late afternoon, I hear the red-legged frog by the stream that drains the pond. Birds are plentiful. I'm not seeing so many signs of deer and larger predators as former years, but that may be due to our increased presence in the forested area. The previous week, when it was a bit warmer, I started some lettuce and brassicas in a seed tray. They sprouted well, and now I go back and forth to my little "greenhouse" a few times each day, to carry them outside, adjust the zippers, and carry them back inside. Am also cutting and stacking firewood for the next winter, and cutting and grubbing out roots of an invasive blackberry patch. The pullets like these sunny days and are laying well already. I gave them an under-sized coop for winter, so they stay warmer (I hope). The power company had an energy-shifting morning this week. So we put some extra logs on the fire and turned the electric heat down a notch. The creek is really quite low - the flow is still pretty good, but I don't think it will be much lower than it is now even in summer. Wednesday, about an hour before sunset, we had some really striking sun-dogs. Daffodils are about 6 inches high, and California poppies are growing nicely. I stored ripe apples and pumpkins around the house outside, and some of them are still good eating. |
