| Only a trace of rain this week. We have had .30 inchs more rain than normal in September but are 5.06 inches below normal for the year. The ponds are almost dry and the springs are not running very much. Last weeks rain was enough to let us plant some triticale, wheat and alfalfa, the triticale I planted Monday is up but the alfalfa needs a rain to sprout. Today is hopefully the last day above 90 for this year as it will set a record for the most high temperatures of 90+ in 1 year in our area. |

I used Moderate here as severely would line up with the US Drought version. Grass has made really no improvement with same dry patches of grass. .40-.43 this week didn't help much as we need more rain to take care of the brown grass patches. ----- WILDFIRE RISK: For Florence and Dickinson counties is MODERATE----- AIR QUALITY: Another excellent week no smoke clean air ------TOURISM: Campers I still see but sightings have slowed down a lot this week. Still, Older retired seniors towing or driving campers Boat towing down even from last week. Sone have pulled theirs from the river for the season BUSINESS: Local and regional traffic for construction has declined. Loggers steady this week yet less. Just 2 farm machines I spotted going back and forth from a field. Local contractors, about the same as last week, steady. -----WILDLIFE: Deer are still running around and getting apples from the neighbor's tree. noticed a few more swamp deer as I enter Kingsford along the wooded road. Geese have been flying south in small flocks and noticed various bird species also in flocks stop and rest here before their southern migration but a less busy week for birds heading south as a whole . Squirrels and chipmunks are busy gathering for the cold but still haven't seen any rabbits but the eagle has been spotted this week flying along the river.----- PLANTS: Another round of tree tops changing color replacing what blew off last week. Noticable Wednesday but overnight even more. My red Maple, shedding like crazy still and is 3/4 red and leaves dropped about 1/3rd off that tree and one of my oak's leaves are starting to change color and another just dropping leaves. Neighbor's birch trees and their leaves turning yellow. Marigolds, Lazy susans still blooming, onion plant blossoms died off 2 weeks ago in the shade. 1/3 color change on the sumacs. ----- That's all I have for this week. Enjoy your weekend! |

| Conditions here remain severely dry. We have received about 0.8 inches of rain over the last 7 days. However we are 13 inches behind the NOAA "30-year average" and about 17 inches behind the "Water Year" average measurement for our region. Leaves are beginning to turn color and some plants are showing heat stress effects. The Haw River is flowing at very low levels. We are still in a "stage 2" water use restriction and lawns are yellowing. Farmers seem to making the best of it but are losing some crops. This observer noted that below usual rainfall started October-November 2025, on that basis our region is approaching nearly one year of "drought". |

| With only 0.93” of rain over the past 2 weeks, conditions are near normal although approaching mildly dry. The Pascoag Reservoir has fallen a few inches since the last report to 8’8” but is fairly full for this time of year. There are still some boaters and fishermen getting out on the lake but the numbers are falling as the summer season ends. Many boats are being pulled in anticipation of the dam opening after Columbus Day weekend. The lawn requires regular mowing about once per week so it is slowing a little with less sunlight and cooler temperatures. Jays, wrens, crows, nuthatches, phoebes, etc. have been busy, while mallards and Canadian geese are around too. |

| Here we go again -- 0.05" total since July 17 -- or 63 days with no useful moisture. And over 20 days over 100 degrees, and every day since in upper 90's. Energy bills are noticeably high; fire danger elevated; and burn bans and watering restrictions are universal here. The only saving grace is that lakes are unseasonably high. Roadsides are parched, and exposed ground is cracking (wonderful clay soil!) Most trees are losing leaves and show signs of stress. And the duration is starting to cause "cabin fever" as we stay inside during the day. While not (yet) the longest dry spell, it is certainly a concern and no immediate change is predicted. |

Deer are rotating their grazing, new fawns kept to edge of woods, or higher grass. Red Fox and kits in and out of woods. Pheasants have taken cover. On people side, yellow school buses now a daily thing, as is continuing NS Power overhead work. They've made tremendous progress. Its quite the process to replace an old hydro pole. And all of this work does not impede tourism. The double-decker buses are very busy. As days grow shorter, so are viewing hrs. But, for touring, the best of colour is yet to come.
