FIRE - With the Quarter Inch + of precipitation overnight, this has helped lessen the Fire Hazard we are in. More.Precipitation towards the middle of next week will help. ENERGY - Last week’s temperatures were highs and lows. 4 days above average and 3 days below average. So, energy wise, AC was working more and then the Furnace was working more. GENERAL - We are looking for up and down temperatures with NORMAL not being in the mix.  View

Over the week we received a grand total of a trace of precip. The ground has pretty much thawed and is slowly drying out so, mildly dry conditions seem to have arrived. Also, area waterways are dropping and are mostly ice free. Trees are still a drab gray but signs of spring have sprung as I noticed numerous maple trees have started dripping sap on my driveway and warmer days are on tap as our NWS is predicting warmer and wetter days next week. Time will tell. Wildlife is coming out of it's winter slumber as roadkill is more evident and migratory birds are beginning to arrive. Our two resident geese returned to our front yard already and I was relieved to see that they made it through the winter. They started honking at me so I reminded them to stay away from the busy road. Something tells me that they are going to do whatever they want.  View

FIRE ADVISORY starting off the week with strong dry winds from the north and frost on Tuesday. Cherry bark oak trees are leafing out as are some water oaks. Live oak trees haven’t dropped any leaves yet. Soil moisture is good other than tilled beds, which are dry. After several months of road construction, finishing touches to the roadside slope, drainage, and debris removal are in full swing. The soil, mostly clay on the finished slopes, is bone dry and cracked on the surface, but broken up enough to support hydro seeding. It’s late in the season here, but I still wanted to try to establish a poppy flower area alongside the roadway similar to what existed prior to the road construction. Flower beds needed irrigation this week. Spring has sprung! Many ornamental plants are waking up and sprouting fresh green leaves and flower buds. Repeating daffodils are blooming. Still too early to plant merliton outside, since we can still get a hard freeze for a couple more weeks. Predictions for rain next week are nonexistent and temperatures will be in the mid 80° F.  View

February precip was well above normal, but much was rain in second half of month. Snowfall of 11.9" was only 60% of monthly normal and end of month snowpack depth was slightly below normal despite seasonal snowfall being above normal. Deer are absent in my local area. Foxes very active, must be breeding season. No nomadic finches etc. just chickadees, nuthatches, blue jays, woodpeckers. Logging truck traffic high, spring road closures looming. Road is a mess on thaw days. Lots of interior construction traffic. Conditions have been less than ideal for ice fishing.  View

Conditions have improved over the past few weeks, even though it is still brown. Since everything is dormant no surface greenness is showing, but that is ok. I have had 180% of my prism normal for Feb and am at 120% prism normal since Jan 1 and Oct 1. Thus things are going ok. There is no snow on the ground, it melted out earlier this week. However, we are going into spring time now, thus conditions look near normal to me as we start spring.  View

We are in suspense in NH as to how the ongoing drought will affect the growing seasons. NH got only 40% of its usual precipitation in February, but because of a remarkably long cold spell, snow that fell on December 2nd is still on the ground, under a foot or two of later snows. That's given the skiing, snowmobiling and winter sports industry a welcome shot in the arm. However, NH in still in drought conditions for nearly 80% of its land mass, and 38% of in severe drought, That does not bode well for the upcoming fire season, spring agriculture nor residential water supplies, many of which are local wells. Hoping for a (gentle) spring melt and a rainy spring to bring us back in balance.  View

Conditions here are moderately dry. Our region remains classified by the State in "moderate drought". Some good news is last week's rain fall puts to about 105% of "normal" for January. Some lawns are beginning to "green up" and tress and bushes buds have appeared. Some areas around the State are still wary of outdoor burning. Lake Jordon levels have risen slightly and small streams are flowing at low levels. The Haw River was at near back full levels yesterday..  View

A warmer than average and dry week occurred this week with No rainfall observed this week. This has resulted in the soil moisture to continue to dry out and I feel that we have returned to Mildly dry conditions for our soils. Next, our grass and our wildflowers continue to grow this week and it is my hope that our flowers will begin to grow in our pollinator garden. Our daffodils are also doing well, and I noticed that we have a few of our Eastern Redbud trees that are starting to grow pink flower buds on their branches. Lastly, area wildlife have been active with multiple sightings of various bird species, multiple sightings of flying insects including wasps, and we can here the frogs chirping at night along with the coyotes howling at night too.  View

Fire danger is low. Backyard burning season is due to open on March 1, and do I ever have piles and piles of prunings to burn! With ~3" of rain the first part of this week, followed by 3 dry days, the creek went up over a foot, and since then has been slowly dropping, not yet down to where it was last Sunday. The hillside and wetlands are still bleeding water, and the roadside ditches have a good supply. The concern here is that the snowpack on the mountains is so light, in spite of plenty rain. The dry days were each followed by freezing nights, and Friday morning I found some hair ice. Photos below. Formation of hair ice requires some dead alder wood that is infected with a certain fungus, plus "just-so" conditions of humidity, freezing, and time. My morning chores these days are invariably accompanied by a chorus of bird songs. Our chickens are laying eggs like crazy - even the 5 1/2 year-old grandma hen has laid a few. Soil was quite muddy at midweek, but nicely workable in the garden yesterday, and I have spaded up the potato patch and laid black plastic over it to warm it, and planted a patch of peas in a sheltered spot. Pruning of trees and shrubs is underway, and buds are beginning to swell. Chickweed, dandelions, daffodils, bittercress, and some little ornamental in the borage family are all in bloom. The hellebores (Lenten roses) are just loaded with blossoms. The lawn is green and growing slowly. I mowed some of the taller stuff this week. In the forest, plenty tall dead grasses and bracken from last year are still standing.  View
