| We have been stuck in a very dry pattern for so long and the turf is not looking good at all. Ditto of the prior weeks report. We are cooler this morning with some forecasted winter type precip in the forecast and then warming back up to springlike weather. Along with RAIN for the next several days. So, lets see how this pans out with next weeks report. One thing we do not need is heavy rainfall. Stay tuned! |

| Soil conditions are drier than expected going into March. This could be a positive for field cultivation but early planting is not recommended based on the current spring forecast modeling. Hopefully this week's precipitation will make a good contribution. |

| This week several small storms bringing mostly snow. 0.39" for the week and 1.22" this month. The monthly NOAA average is 3.11 so a very dry month of February. So far in the water year I am at 14.94" compared to the normal of 19.10". February snowfall at 10.9" compared to my average of 16.1". Skiing has been very good especially last week. For each inch of snow here, Mt Snow was receiving 2 or 3. They have had plenty of business the past couple of weeks and I think snowmobiling has been going strong. The lack of warmups and rain storms is the key to keeping winter sports strong. Birds and squirrel around the feeder regularly. |
