| Vegetation is dry and will support wildfires when the humidity decreases below 20%. Plowed fields appear to have already been disced, but they are dry enough; there are no clumps. Streams and creeks are low, as all the snow melt has run off. Lakes and ponds are below normal levels. |

| Ground is saturated from the rainfall from 02/19, plus the recent snow melting. When I pushed in ground stakes (and even lag bolts that I mistakenly bought; I'm not affixing to concrete) to mount my gauge and weather station, I could do so by hand with ease. They also come out very easily and I was worried it wasn't secure enough since I can push the tripod mount and it'll tip while the stakes lift. |

| It was warm to hot for most of the week then cold by the very end. We received 0.74 in. of rain early in the week (it should have been snow). Tulips in my yard are already shooting up greenery and my neighbors have daffodil shoots up about 3-4 inches already. What happened this week? Birds are singing like it is Spring and Eastern bluebirds, red-winded blackbirds, and Northern cardinals are establishing turf. Squirrels and Canada geese are pairing up. Someone barbequed on the 16th as it was so warm. Winter is back for now, but for most of the week it was like Spring and even Summer-like yesterday. |

| Mostly cloudy and cold with light winds and fog then mostly cloudy and cold overnight with gusty winds and predawn rain. The high temperature was around forty two degrees, and the low around thirty three degrees Fahrenheit. Songbirds are eating a feederful every other day. Flocks of small birds are appearing. The local intermittent stream and nearby trout stream are flowing at Winter levels. Some stream crossings are difficult due to snow drifts and ice. Ice is beginning to melt on the streams. |

| I am still calling it moderately dry because we just have a little snow cover the soil beneath is very dry and ponds are dry.The grey partridges for example are struggling in the cold as there is not enough snow to burrow in. |
