0.09” precip this week, 0.5” light snow Sunday and Monday.  My first time measuring snow. Mistake – I put the snow board right on the ground, too far for old eyes and old knees to read the depth easily.   Fixed – I borrowed the grandkids play table and mounted the board on top.  Much easier.  Ponds and creeks still low.  The cold and wind removed more leaves; the wood line is becoming see-through.  Picture attached showing the difference of 2 weeks.  Standing hay and crops all brown and ready to harvest, more came down.  Warm up tail end of the week made for nice porch-sitting in the shade of the front porch.  The sunny back porch is still loaded with ladybugs trying to get inside.  Spotted a few does dawn and dusk.  Tuesday night we saw red Northern lights, a neat show.
