| No rain since the last report, and none in the coming week's forecast. We still need nearly 20 inches of rain by the end of the rainy season to get us through the dry season without possible water use restrictions. Nights have been down into the 40's, but mild days reaching the 60's. Lots of migrant birds in the gardens, and a flock of nine female Wild Turkeys show up occasionally and are a bother, eating up all of the seed for the smaller birds. But, that number of females shows that they had a good breeding season last year. With the mild weather, we've had a good number of tourists in the area.

| General: It remains complex. We are woefully low on snow, based on my noncalibrated 25 year average accumulation of 65.22". We've only received 24.6". Even by my calibrated 5 year average, we should have received 61.8" by now. Gauge catch is a different story. Calibrated 5 year average gauge catch is 9.21 of liquid since Oct. 1, and we've receive 9.36", so we're a little ahead of the game. I guess I'm coming down on the snowfall as my indication of dryness!
Agriculture: The winter wheat has about 4-5" of snow on it, barely covering last year's stubble, but my memory of Oklahoma winter wheat was that this was sufficient to keep from hurting the wheat. The temperatures in Oklahoma weren't as severe, however, so I'm not sure if this is enough cover to protect it.
Energy: The panels have no snow on them, so we're producing almost as much as we're using: 49.55 kWHR yesterday produced, compared with 50.75 kWHR consumed. Silver lining.
Plants/wildlife: Saw a cougar near Hootowl on Buckskin this week, which was pretty exciting.
Fire: very little risk right now.
Water: Again, it depends! We need snowpack, for sure, but I'm not a hydrologist, so I don't really know the relative impact of lack of snowpack versus total liquid. |

Some manure was hauled again this week, but that was it for agriculture movement. More cold and snow forecast for the week ahead. Guess it's kind of normal winter in Iowa at this point. No sign of the deer going through the North pasture fence yet, but it looks like they hit the South pasture fence once already. Most of the moisture we have gotten should have soaked in as the top soil was receptive at the time we got it. |

| It was a normal week in January, we enjoyed a January thaw which has been missing for several years because it hasn't been cold enough to create a deep freeze. After several weeks of freezing temps, even during daylight, temps in the 30s were pleasant. It was relatively dry with only 0.38", but melting snowpack likely helped keep soil moisture from drying out much.
This coming week is forecast to go back to below average temps. Perhaps a little snow too. The birds, squirrels and rabbits continue to forage around. The snow will help keep the local ski hill in business. Of course, freezing temps help with snow-making too. Normal conditions for January. |

The 7-day cumulative precipitation total of 0.79 inches was 1% above the 13-year (2009-2022) average of 0.78 inches and in the “near normal” range; the 30-day total of 3.77 inches was 10% above the expected 13-year average of 3.42 inches and in the “near normal” range; and the 90-day total of 9.21 inches was 10% below the expected 13-year average of 10.25 inches and in the “mildly dry” range. There were 4 days of measurable precipitation, with a maximum of 0.60 inches on the 15th (all from snow). There were 4 days of Snowfall (total of 12.8 inches, max of 9.5 inches on the 15th) & 5 days of Snowpack (average of 6.0 inches). Temps ranged from 51 F (on the 13th) to 11 F (on the 18th), with average Hi/Lo temps of 47/32 F (-10/-11 relative to last week). Precipitation Trends—January-to-Date Totals: 1.29 inches (down 0.48 inches, 73% of PRISM Normal). Winter Conditions (November 1-to-Date)—New Snow on 25 days, with total of 49.6 inches (vs 17-year averages of 19 days and 36.2 inches); Snow Pack on 43 days, with average daily depth of 4.5 inches (vs 17-year averages of 29 days and 5.3 inches). In marked contrast to last week’s spring-like weather, winter returned to the area this week with a vengeance, with dangerous driving conditions early in the week. A small group of Hooded Mergansers returned to Crescent Lake one day this week, but for the most part the lake has been frozen.

| Due to travel, multi-day forecast from the 9th to the 13th. 0.40” of liquid water was in the gauge. Only light patches of snow were on the ground which soon melted off due to temperatures well above freezing; it has since been replaced in abundance. On Wednesday, the 14th, a major lake effect storm arrived, which made national news, with very strong winds and heavy snow bands which caused power outages and travel disruptions. On the other hand, this storm also created outdoor winter recreation opportunities which lasted through the weekend and beyond. This storm brought freezing temperatures that have steadily dropped; as of this writing it is currently 11 degrees which will impact utility demands. Precipitation in some form fell every day but, due to winds, snow and snow water equivalent are undermeasured but were collected as follows. Gauge catch 0.49 inches, 6.9 inches of snow (again, certainly a lot of snow was blown off the board and past the gauge), snow water equivalent 0.52 inches. Currently there is an average snowpack of 4.5 inches. Drainage ditches have ice but local rivers and Lake Michigan are not yet freezing. Overall, conditions are mildly wet. |

| Total precipitation for our station this past week was 0.02 inches with 0.36 inches for the month of January. Total snowpack depth this morning is 6.0 inches with a snow water equivalent (melted value) of 1.52 inches. Temperatures have ranged from a high of 43°F on Tuesday to a low of -5°F below zero this Saturday. The past week in Oak Grove was characterized by a steady transition from seasonal temperatures to significant winter cold. The week was relatively dry with mostly cloudy to clear skies; however, light snow flurries occurred mid-week, maintaining a thin but persistent snow pack. Agricultural activity is currently in winter dormancy with fields remaining fallow or covered in cover crops. Native deciduous trees and perennials are fully dormant. White-tailed deer are moving in yarding patterns to find shelter in wooded areas. Bird activity at feeders remains high, featuring northern cardinals, dark-eyed juncos, and chickadees. Ice thickness on local lakes has improved significantly with the recent cold snap, with reports averaging 11–14 inches in the region. Snowmobile and cross-country ski trails in the Oak Grove area are currently rated as poor to fair. While the ground is frozen, there is an insufficient snow base for consistent grooming, leading to icy snow and dirt conditions on many stretches. The water supply remains stable with no reported shortages. The fire danger level is low given the combination of snow cover and high humidity that has virtually eliminated the risk of wildland fires. Energy demand peaked this weekend due to the extreme cold. Energy suppliers implemented interim rate increases, but no significant local outages were reported during the week's cold front. Compared to the prior year, January 2026 has been consistently colder due to La Niña conditions, whereas January 2025 was near-normal in temperature but featured a more extreme, record-breaking cold snap during the third week of the month. We are ending the week with highs in the low 10s and overnight lows of about -5°F below zero, cloudy skies with flurries in the morning and about 0.75 inches of snow possible this afternoon, good air quality, and a fresh breeze from the northwest of around 20 mph. A Cold Weather Advisory was issued for Anoka County starting at 9:00 p.m. this evening (Sunday, Jan 18) and is scheduled to remain in effect until noon on Monday.

| A somewhat Balmy 3-day January Thaw kicked off the week and decreased the Snowpack by 3”, leaving a lot puddling on the streets. It has now reached the hard, crusty bottom half, which has been increasingly hard to collect a core, and is much more stubborn at melting. My nearby lake had open water showing a ways out from shore. That’s a little concerning as there’s supposed to be an ice fishing event for kids this coming Monday. After the Thaw the Temp took a dive into the single digits, where it has mostly remained and brought in Gusty Winds, a roughly 24-hour set of Snow Showers bringing 1-1/2” with continued Blowing Snow. The lake has since frozen over again, but I’m unsure how thick it will become.
Forecast: A typical Cold and uneventful January week as Temps will slowly drop from the low teens to sub-zero. More random Show Showers today, then Mostly Cloudy skies, Winds calming through the week and no Precipitation expected. |
