| 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. |

The soil in the main area of our property appears to have a normally dry texture after these showers, resulting in a NEAR NORMAL condition declaration for this week. This was our first precip for February, resulting in MTD stats of -0.26 inch below and 25% of the NOAA normal and -0.33 inch below and 20% of the PRISM normal. YTD total is now 1.56 inches which is 0.55 above and 154% of the NOAA Normal and 0.27 inch and 121% of the PRISM normal.

Conditions have remained the same since the last update from last week with the area seeing some beneficial and measurable precipitation in the form of liquid and frozen precipitation over this past week. The area is currently considered moderately dry (Moderate Drought) which has remained the same (unchanged) since the last update due despite the area receiving beneficial rain and snow precipitation. The sump pump has stopped pumping periodically due to the ground becoming frozen due to cold air invading the environment most of this week except for one day above freezing this week to allow for limited melting to infiltrate into the ground and the cold air lingering in the environment most of the week is not allowing the frozen precipitation sitting on the ground (near a foot of snowpack currently on the ground) to melt and infiltrate into the ground. Outdoor activities and shoveling snow have been OK due to no dangerous windchill values and very cold sub-zero temperatures invading the environment this week compared to last week. Furnace has been working overtime heating the house due to the very cold and well below average temperatures the area has been experiencing over the past couple of weeks. So far, February’s precipitation is currently below average and snowfall currently is above average. |
