Agriculture
|
| Not a lot of subsoil moisture in the top 18 inches of soil. Dangerously dry conditions that are fueling the grass fires locally. Ponds are very low. If it continues this trend it could be problematic for livestock water. Extremely low amounts of rain and snow this winter. That could all change in a heartbeat. |

| We received a few sprinkles early in the week, and soil conditions are normal. It was cold early then hot by the end of the week. My daffodils are up with two buds already and tulip shoots are up too. Tree peony and golden current have tiny leaflets coming out. I can't believe Spring has arrived so early. |

General Awareness
|
| Despite the decrease in average rainfall of 2.78 inches for the month of February there is no obvious signs of significant drought. We only received 0.55 inches of rain yesterday which is disappointing since well over an inch had been predicted for the previous 36 hours. Difficult to ascertain effect of dry weather with no deciduous trees or shrubs leafing out yet. In addition to dry weather we have had atypically cold weather periods this winter which may affect budding. |
