Lack of moisture over continues to be a concern. PRISM Normal comparison has MTD at 87%, WYTD at 52%, and YTD at 67%. Received 1.6" new snow last night resulting in 0.09" moisture. New snow pack has not yet blown or melted away. Snotel SWE measurements reporting 60% in my 6-Digit HUC and 71% in my 8-Digit HUC. Most plants are dormant now. We are keeping the birdbath de-iced and have been getting a variety of birds visiting. A large herd of elk came through three days ago so they haven't all migrated down to the lower elevations yet, unless these are from higher in the mountains and this is their "lower elevation." we saw two very large herds of elk near Loveland 2 days ago. No new fire restrictions in the area. We remain under permanent Stage 1 restrictions in the Estes Valley and in the National Park.
