December precipitation is still running below average with an additional 0.63 inches of water for the week. A snowstorm Friday dropped 4.5 inches of snow and the temperatures have remained much below normal since then. Rivers and streams are again iced over. Our snowpack is around 5 inches, though rain forecast for tomorrow may reduce that. Tracks in the new snow show reduced activity by porcupine, fox and deer while squirrels and coyote show normal activity. Greylock trails are snow covered, though the snow is not deep enough for cross country skiing or snowmobiling.
