| Feeling colder this last week with a couple of systems moving through. The week started off partly to mostly cloudy when the first weather system moved through on Tuesday with rain and snow showers. .03 inches of rain/melted snow fell with just a trace of snow on the ground. Stayed cloudy most of the week before clearing Thursday afternoon and Friday. The next system moved through on Saturday with some very light snow showers. No accumulation. Temperatures were cold with the lowest temperature last Sunday at 16°. Most high temperatures were in the 40's though it did get up to 54° on Monday. There still is some patchy snow on the ground from previous snow fall in the shadiest areas. No wildlife activity noticed and no change in plant life. |

| Since my last report on 1/15/2022 there has been 1.73" of precipitation. The water level in Hopeville Pond is a little lower than normal, with plenty of good quality and available water for animals and human use. The animals are still using the pond and surrounding areas to their advantage with sightings of deer,foxes,raccoon prints,water fowl, and some birds. A lot of action is seen at the deer feeder. Now that the pond is starting to freeze over there are ice fishermen and kids skating on the pond. According to the weatherman we have had less than normal snowfall this season, the shoreline is -2.75" less than normal, while inland areas are -10.50" less than normal. |

| Another dry week, I recorded 0.0". I will take my condition to Mildly Dry. North facing slopes still have some snow but everywhere else, where the sun gets to, the snow is all but gone. My birds are still not using the feeders like normal. I have provided fresh seed and still the numbers are down. I suspect that some predator, a cat or hawk or both, is keeping them away. The pond is ice covered several inches thick except where the bubblier is. The local geese come to the open water everyday. The pond level is stable and at the overflow. The local creek is down to almost no flow and mostly ice covered. This week has been very cold but mostly sunny. I have had enough winter and would welcome some change. |

| Other than lack of snowpack - not all that rare around here for the past few years - things are pretty much normal. 1.26” total in the past week, most from rain Monday/Tuesday. The effect of that and the spring feed of the pond has been dramatic; last week, pond was down approximately 18” due to bog flooding; now, it’s back within approximately 6” of control depth. The pond is going back and forth between largely iced over (skim coat) and largely open, depending on temp and wind; the swans are nonplussed but the ducks aren’t pleased. Bogs aren't totally frozen either, a bit surprising but we've seen some fairly significant temperature swings. Terrestrial bird activity remains normal. |

Our conditions are Mildly Dry because we are considerably behind our average precipitation for this time of year, though the current snowfall and some predicted Alberta clipper systems moving through this coming week should improve the precipitation picture. The usual birds have been seen daily at the bird-feeder this week. Temperatures this week have been seasonably cold to below average where only one day went briefly above freezing.

| The roller coaster of temperatures has been causing havoc for moisture monitoring, the little we get. Ground snow pack was down to about 10" last week, and a short lived temp hike in the 40's melted much more. But this weekend we are also experiencing several clippers of snow which will bring back approx 4" when it's all done. These are a light, dryer type of snow. The more frigid weather is allowing for many snow and ice sculpture events taking place this month. |

This was the coldest air of the season with a low of 20 Friday Morning and 19 Saturday morning allowing for a decent surface freeze. With only a slight chance of rain forecast Monday night for the coming week, the soil surface may dry quickly this week (the recent freezes have heaved and lifted the soil surface allowing for faster drying). |
