| No rain in the past 14 days and only 0.03" in most recent 17 days. Sod installed on 2 September (nine weeks ago!) still needs regular watering as does the Autumn Blaze maple planted in its midst. Exposed soil causes one to have a paroxysm of coughing when the lawn mower goes across the area. Dust! Our water bills have been astronomic. |

| As of 11/6 0" of precipitation for November, on the way to 2.01" monthly average. August through October months were a total of 3.11" below average. Small ponds are completely dry, with larger 1 ac. ponds nearly dried up. Small creeks are not running and almost completely dry. The condition trend is Moderately Dry. Ground soaked up any late October showers. Some corn and soybeans still to be harvested. Very dry conditions should help that effort along. A major cold front is expected this weekend with no precipitation expected. This is unfortunate as bushes and trees may already be stressed heading into winter. I believe that many Songbirds have already migrated, along with some geese with recent north winds. This weekend should push some waterfowl south due to a major snow system in Canada, however with no snow cover in northern states, they will not likely be pushing this far south yet. |

| 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 were two days with measurable precipitation and no days with trace precipitation for a total of 2.98”, the past seven days [Sunday-Sat]. River and stream volume the past week of the CMR increased rates of flow over small lake dams west of this station. As of Sunday morning, 11/2; one increased its flow to 40% the width of the dam 6.5 miles from this station moving at a moderate volume and with some turbidity. The other, 2 miles to the west, also increased its flow over its fall, now covering 30% of its respective fall and moving at a similar, volume with turbidity. The Madison Golf Course, adjacent this station had observable play again this past week on all days with daily watering of greens and fairways. The ground around this station is moist and soft. Grass and weeds required maintenance the past week. Maple trees are looking well with fall color now past peak the past few days, with brown and color leaves. Also, the Juvenal Oak’s and two Ginkgo Trees, are doing well. FALL color on and around this station, now 90% of leaves have turned a color with 70% of leaves fallen. Yellow Jacket Bees were observed. House Finch were very active, along with Blue Jays. Neighborhood squirrels were observed along with a Chipmunk. Also; the neighborhood Ginkgo trees began dropping their stinky fruits exactly on 9/26 and have lost all of their fruit as of this report. However, still, their stink continues strong and has spread to other Ginkgo trees. The first Frost observation for this station, this season, was reported on October 10th. Since then; I have observed and reported a total of 3 more days the past seven, for a total of five this season.
Over the past 31 days; this station has captured and reported 1.79 inches of precipitation. There has been 109 days of precipitation the previous 296 days of CY2025 [1/1/2025 to 10/25/2025] for a “Calendar Year” [CY] total of
40.65”, compared to (again) 100 Precipitation Days” and a [CY] total of (again) 47.41” the same [year to date] in CY2024. So far, compared to last year, this station has received 9.74” less precipitation than a year ago. Some other totals from previous years, for comparison, are;
YTD2023- 46.08”
YTD2022- 37.89”
YTD2021- 51.69”
YTD2020- 42.28”
YTD2019- 52.05”
YTD2018- 55.94”
YTD2017- 39.96”
YTD2016- 36.47”
YTD2015- 34.03” (First full Year.)
The running ELEVEN year average reported precipitation for THIS station is: 44.04” inches, placing this station at a deficit of 3.39” less then the 11 year average and making this year to date, (still) the fifth driest year monitoring this station. Considering the eleven year annual comparable total for this station, is why I believe that it is appropriate to continue this week’s report to the “Mildly Dry” side of the Condition Scale Bar.

| Cloudy and cool with gusty winds and late afternoon showers, then cloudy and cold overnight with early evening showers and gusty winds. The high temperature was around fifty six degrees and the low around thirty five degrees Fahrenheit. Songbirds are eating a feederful every two days. Only a few of the leaves still have color. 60%-70% of leaves have fallen, some woods are bare. Canadian Geese have flocks of 100-200 birds, Blackbirds and sparrows have larger flocks. The nearby trout stream is flowing but low. 1/4 of the corn fields are uncut. |

Quite a bit of fall foliage is still on the trees. Tulip Populars, for example still have most of their leaves.. I wonder if our on-goin drought is a factor.
Extremely mild temperatures are noted this week as well as low humidity afternoons. |

| ITS BEEN RIGHT AT A MONTH NOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN UNDER A "D3" DROUGHT CATEGORY NOW IN ALLEN COUNTY, OHIO. NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THE LAST REPORT THAT I PUT IN. EVERYTHING IS DRY, ALL GRASS IS BROWN EXCEPT MAYBE A COUPLE SMALL AREAS WHERE IT IS EITHER SHADED FROM THE SUN OR GETS A LITTLE DRINK FROM THE DEW IN THE MORNINGS COMING OFF THE ROOF. TREE COLOR HAS DEFINITELY BEEN HAMPERED BY THE DRY CONDITIONS. MOST OF THE TREES HAVE TURNED THEIR LEAVES FROM GREEN STRAIGHT TO BROWN AND DROPPED THEM. YESTERDAY WAS A VERY BREEZY DAY THAT WAS HELPING KNOCK ANY REMAINING LOOSELY ATTACHED LEAVES OFF. I HAVE A BRADFORD PEAR TREE THAT IS STILL FULLY GREEN AT THIS TIME WITH ALL THE LITTLE PEARS ON THE ENDS OF THE BRANCHES TIGHTLY HOLDING ON. NORMALLY THIS TREE WAITS UNTIL LATER IN THE FALL SEASON BEFORE GETTING RID OF ITS LEAVES & PEARS. I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY RISE IN THE RIVERS / CREEKS FROM THE RECENT RAIN THAT WE DID ACTUALLY GET. MOST RECENT RAIN HERE WAS 0.22" & 0.45" ON OCT 30TH & 31ST RESPECTIVELY, THIS RAIN HARDLY PUT A DENT INTO THE LACK OF MOISTURE IN THE GROUND. CRACKS ARE STILL VERY EVIDENT AND THE TOPSOIL IS BASICALLY POWDER AT THIS TIME. FORECAST IS CALLING FOR SOME RAIN / SNOW THIS WEEKEND ALONG WITH SOME MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF WIND. 99% OF THE FIELDS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF AROUND MY IMMEDIATE AREA. FARMERS SAID THAT THE REPLANT BEANS THAT DIDNT GET TO SEE MUCH RAIN THIS LATE SUMMER / FALL HAVE MADE RIGHT AROUND 20 BUSHELS PER ACRE. THIS WEEK THERE HAS BEEN AN INFLUX OF DRY AIR MOVING AROUND THE AREA MAKING OUR DAYTIME HUMIDITY LEVELS SINK INTO THE 20% RANGE. OHIO ALREADY HAS THE BURN BAN FROM 6AM TO 6PM SO IM THINKING ADDITIONAL BURN RESTRICTIONS WERENT NEEDED AT THAT TIME. |

| The wet conditions make for hazardous driving at times on the interstate. Flooding is not a problem, but our ephemeral creek bottom, that splits our property, now has flowing water. Once the ground becomes saturated like this, the wind is more effective at downing trees. |
