| With bone dry weather over the week and only 0.01" over the last 3 weeks it would seem at least mildly dry soil conditions would prevail but the soil is still mostly frozen and waterways are still looking ok, so near normal seems about right. Our U.S. Drought Monitor does have this area in a mild drought, so when the soil does thaw soil conditions could change rapidly. Our bone chilling cold spell has met its match and we are now experiencing spring like warm temperatures that look to continue for several more days at least. All but the deepest snow drifts have melted and the surrounding landscape has returned to a brown and gray appearance. While hiking last weekend I noticed something bright blue ahead. Thinking it was probably some windblown trash, I went over to pick it up and to my amazement discovered, sadly, that it was a perfectly preserved bluebird with wings outstretched and its eyes wide open as if it died mid flight. I took some pictures and carefully placed it in a nest like setting. Could it have been some sort of sign? Not sure but it was way out of place and I have never seen anything like it in all my travels. Something to ponder in these humdrum days of late winter. |

This is the third consecutive month with below normal precipitation, albeit with well above normal snowfall. With recent warming weather, the snow pack, which contained over an inch of water, mostly melted over the past week so surface soil moisture is abundant but runoff is low and stream levels are low. |

I will have a better idea of how much has fallen by tomorrow mornings regular precipitation observation. Next, our local plant species have started growing including a few purple flowers, but our area grass species have yet to start growing at this time. I also will note that most of our daffodils have grown significantly and have continued to bloom this week too.

| Monthly precipitation at mid-month (2/14) a paltry 0.13" v. the NOAA mean of 1.40" or 9% of normal. It has been both cold and dry to this point in February with measurable snow cover for almost 3 weeks, a bit unusual this far south. Runoff from the now melted snow/sleet event (1.42") of Jan. 25-26 has provided a slight boost to area streams and hopefully groundwater. The water year (Oct. 1-Feb. 14) precipitation to date stands at 7.55" for a deficit of -6.39" or only 54% of the normal of amount of 13.94".
As mentioned, runoff to streams and rivers has increased just recently due to snowmelt. The USGS gage on the Roanoke River at Roanoke 7-day average flow (as of 2/13) rose to 162 cfs or the 16th percentile of all flows for the date (40% of median) and now classified in the Below Normal category (10-24th percentile). This 'pulse' has already passed (our version of a spring snowmelt flood) and flows have already decreased to below median daily flows. A note: USGS Waterwatch site which contains these useful longer-term flow averages, will be 'retired' as of 2/24/26 in the interests of 'modernization'. Other statistics of use may be available.
Carvins Cove local water supply reservoir (as of 2/14) dropped to -12.4 feet below full pond (70.4% of capacity) -0.8 ft. drop in the past two weeks, a very slight reduction in the rate of fall.
The US Drought Monitor (USDM) map valid as of 2/10/26 is unchanged over the past 2 weeks with still Moderate Drought conditions (D1) across most of western VA and Severe Drought (D2) just east of the Roanoke area in most of central and northern VA.
Per NWS CPC (2/9/26) La Niña remains present in the tropical Pacific with a 3-month Relative Oceanic Niño Index (RONI) of -1.0 for the NDJ 3-month period. Consensus forecasts suggest a transition to ENSO-neutral in the next few months, although the impact on precipitation patterns remains unclear.
Moderately Dry seems remains appropriate for this update, despite a forecast of moderate rainfall (0.75-1.00") tomorrow (2/15-16). Given the recent history of 'under-performing' (or over-forecast) precipitation events can only hope this does not follow suit. |

As with the previous week, we experienced misty, cloudy conditions, and calm to light winds. The temperatures cooled some, with a couple of days well below zero. Our elevation remains free of snow. We noticed some of our garlic sprouting above the mulch line, and we've set aside additional mulch, as we're concerned that too hard a frost might affect the plants.
