| No precip last week. Slight traces of snow remain on the ground in shaded areas only. The juniper and pinyon trees are showing a little brown as if stressed. The topsoil is dry where direct sun hits. Due to the lack of clouds, our rooftop solar system has been quite productive so far this month. |

| The picture-perfect big snow last weekend and another this Saturday with gale winds almost shut down Mystic. Side streets minimally plowed, plow piles fill parking spaces, hazardous driving, below-zero wind chills kept people home and inside. A few squirrels and many Canada geese out & about; not much else except dog walkers. Luckily no power outages or broken tree limbs here. A good week for puzzles, books & the Olympics on TV. |

| Exposed soil is moderately dry, even after all of the snow covering it for some time. The exposed vegetation is dry, but will not support combustion. Lakes and ponds are still well below normal pond levels. Streams and creeks are still frozen, but starting to slush up. There has been no appreciable precipitation since our last big snow. Depths varied greatly from only a few inches deep to a couple of feet in drifts. |

| This past week was one of a bit of winter, and a hint of spring. A couple of mornings found an inch a feathery snow on the ground overnight. Later in the week, it was totally melted away and now only the fence row drifts and ditch snow remain. Of course it is always spoiled by strong, cold winds. It's been interesting to watch the deer 'herds' come out at dusk to forage in the stalk fields. When you see 30-50 deer in one locale, it is a bit startling to discover ther are so many! Alert the DNR as they keep telling us they are containing the numbers and from the damage they do to crops each summer, we can tell they are not. With the warmer temps the ice has melted on the Cedar River as well as the creeks again. |

| Soil is dry. No precipitation in the last eight days. 0.15" of precipitation has fallen since the one inch rain on January 8. No snow cover in the last nine days. There has been very little snow cover all winter with only about three inches of snowfall since Christmas and six inches all winter. Birdbath is active and robins are in town due to no snow cover and warm temperatures. Ponds and creeks are low. Fire risk is increasing with lack of snow and warm and windy days. |

| Thus far for my “Watershed,” that resides in the “Upper Passaic River” Watershed, that covers from 1.5 miles to the NW to about 1.5 miles to the SE and is about 1 mile in width and in the general shape of a diamond;
There was ONE day with measurable precipitation and no days with trace precipitation for a total of 0.01”, the past seven days [Sunday-Saturday].
River and stream volume the past week of this CMR slowed (slightly again) their rates of flow over small lake dams west of this station. As of Sunday morning, 2/8/2026; one held its flow to 15% the width of the dam 6.5 miles from this station (mostly frozen) moving at a slow volume with no observable turbidity. The other, 2 miles to the west, reduced its flow over its fall, covering about 35% of its respective fall and moving at a similar volume (freezing, still falling), and with no observable turbidity. The Madison Golf Course, adjacent this station remains closed for the season. The ground around this station is frozen and hydrated and is holding a snowpack now of 8.0 inches. This continues to be the longest period this station has held ANY snowpack since monitoring this station at this location, now at 23 days as of this report! Grass and weeds remain dormant for the season. “Marcescence” continues to shroud Juvenal Oak’s with 65% of their leaves. House Finch, and Blue Jays continued very active this week as evidenced by daily visualization. The feeder was 100% consumed as of the evening of 1/21 and still not refilled as of this report. No neighborhood squirrels or Rabbits were observed. The neighborhood Ginkgo trees that dropped their stinky fruits in the fall, their smell was unnoticeable this week due to the snowpack. The first Frost observation for this station, this season, was reported on October 10th. Since then; I have observed and reported a total of 35 days with frost, 4 additional the past seven days.
Over the past 31 days; this station has captured and reported 2.92 inches of precipitation. There has been 10 days of precipitation the previous 38 days of CY2026 [1/1/2026 to 2/7/2026] for a “Calendar Year” [CY] total of
2.96”, compared to a total of 12 days of precipitation and a [CY] total of
1.53” the same [year to date] in CY2025. So far, compared to last year, this station has received 1.43” MORE precipitation than a year ago. Some other totals from previous years, for comparison, are;
YTD2024- 7.03”
YTD2023- 5.20”
YTD2022- 5.41”
YTD2021- 5.23”
YTD2020- 3.42”
YTD2019- 4.78”
YTD2018- 5.82”
YTD2017- 4.97”
YTD2016- 7.08”
YTD2015- 6.74” (First full Year.)
The running TWELVE year average reported precipitation for THIS station is: 5.01 inches, this year, for this station, holding the same station at a deficit of 2.05” less then the 12 (CY) year average and now establishing this year to date the DRIEST start to a year, monitoring this station. Considering the twelve year annual comparable total for this station and considering the previous years total precipation, is why I believe that it is appropriate to maintain (for now) this week’s report on the “normal” side of the Condition Scale Bar.
