| Temperatures were above average to slightly below average at the end of the week. The high fire danger warning and red flag warning returned as the ground and vegetation are drying out and the relative humidity is falling. Conditions were drier this week, as I received only 0.01 inch of rain this week. The soil varies from damp to dry at the surface and 3 inches down. The trees and grass have remained green from previous rainfall. Conditions are near normal. April rainfall is up to 3.74 inches, 1.71 inches above normal (185 percent of normal). Precipitation here for the year is now 6.14 inches, which is 0.47 inch above normal (108 percent of normal). Precipitation for the water year is 1.03 inch below normal (90 percent of normal). Plants and wildlife. Bird visits to the heated bird bath remained steady this week due to the remaining water in the area. Approximately 15 species of birds (about 80 to 90 birds visit each day). Water Supply Water level in Standing Bear Lake (approximately 0.2 mile to the east of here) is near normal. Area creeks and ponds are also near normal.

| April 19,
We have had 8.82” of rain since April 1. The ground is saturated. Many streets are flooded. The temperatures are sometimes in the 70s, more summer than spring. This week, there were 5 reported tornadoes in Kenosha County. EF 1’s but still scary. I spent time in our basement, mostly at night.
The DesPlaines River has breached its banks and has risen to the height of the entry to the roof of the bird house in the middle of the river. It has flooded Highway C.
The grass is green, spring bulbs have bloomed, weeds are back, and perennials have sprouted. All but the Humming Birds have arrived.
A pair of Mallard Ducks walked the front yard looking for something to eat. I was hoping they would nest.
The farm fields are too muddy to start planting. Cooler temperatures have returned today. Low today is 34º, high 46º. Winds 12 MPH.
Local stores have started bringing in plants and vegetables for gardeners to plant. Neighbors buy them and shelter them in garages for fear of frost.
I saw a congregation of Egrets flying in V formation in the sky. It was an interesting sight because you saw a large mass of white, with stark black legs. |
