It is currently raining as I type this.  Topsoil is soft so the moisture is soaking in before the temps drop, and it begins to freeze during much colder below freezing temps the rest of the week.  We have experienced above freezing temps this past week that melted off the snowpack that was in place.  There is still some ice remaining on the edges of the area rivers.  Those same rivers remain low.  After reporting what rain had fallen overnight, MTD is -0.53" (69%) of NOAA Norm, with WYTD at -1.72" (75%), and YTD at -4.54" (88%).  It is hard for me to determine if this location is Mildly or Moderately dry.  I just know there is a need for more moisture and it is currently falling from the sky.
