The .62” this week was very helpful. However, we’re still not quite caught up to. “normal“. Streams look to be a little bit low. There’s enough moisture for winter growing plants to grow, but there’s no reserve moisture in the soil. A good inch or two get us back to normal.  Although colors in the surrounding woods are starting to fade there are still some bright spots with its native and non-native such as Japanese maple, we are almost to peak color.
