| Very beneficial wet snow on 03/04/21 with an additional 0.15" of SWE. This snow with the previous snow event has significantly replenished the moisture content of the soil. Creek beds are flowing with snow melt and open drainage ditches have standing water. Next to where snowdrifts are melting, the soil is wet. Soil away from snow is very moist. We are in much better shape moisture wise than when we came into 2021. |

| February 28 - March 6, 2021: only a trace of precipitation on the 28th followed by a dry week with variable weather--sunny to overcast, calm to windy (36 mph gusts on the 5th), cool to warming days and nights. The low temp. for Saturday (6th) morning was 46°F. Mountains are getting snow, and hopefully day and nighttime temps in the mountains stay cold so the snowpack doesn't melt. Golden current bushes have green leaves on the branches, crocus and early tulips are growing fast, grass in some areas is greening. Sandhill cranes may have been head on Friday as the migrated-- a few brief calls heard but the birds not seen.

The next few days should really finish the snow melt. Not much runoff for all the melting, yet. My spring is showing slightly increased flow with the local creek not changing much as of yesterday.

| Two weeks ago snowpack was 11.0" and one week ago 7.0", but today was 2.0" ~ the early spring warmth unusual and effective at wiping out our snow. As a consequence, roadside ditches have standing water. This does not mitigate the winter-long dry spell except by transient appearance of puddles, so I'm choosing Mildly Dry. Turkeys joined white-tailed deer and red fox this week in the yard. Birdsong exuberant. Turtle Creek at normal level for March. Saw a jogger in SHORTS yesterday!!! |

| The last precipitation here was 16 days ago and the soil is very dry. Last night's wind left fine dust suspended in the air this morning which could be smelled but which was not detected by the air quality monitors. Many of the tree buds which opened last week seem half dead - small and sick looking. The deep freeze of Feb. 14 and/or the dry winter have affected them. Green plants which have appeared seem to have already stopped growing.
The water supply is adequate, with only voluntary conservation efforts in effect. Sandia mountain snowpack is minimal; today is the last day of skiing there. |

Our maple tree’s buds are much bigger and redder. Two bluebirds are frequenting the new mealworm feeder. On 3/5 a starling discovered the mealworm feeder and ate most of them. Four Cardinals come regularly now. I saw a robin in the crabapple tree on 3/6, and a Red-Bellied Woodpecker and Downy Woodpecker come often to the feeder with peanut pieces, and to the suet feeders. Four or 5 Blue Jays make short work of the unshelled peanuts each morning. There are House Finches and two Mourning Doves in the yard as well. |
