1/11/26 Near normal – 0.38 inches of rain.
Warm temperatures and rain melted our snow cover. Ice broken up on the Hudson and channels melting at Mill Pond. I have been delinquent in reporting snow cover because it got away from me. The warm weather and rain has finally made it so I could report traces at 25% coverage Sunday. Soil surface is frozen but NYS Mesonet readings at 2 inches statewide are just above freezing. Birds’ active at the feeder and spring birds heard and individual deer seen occasionally.
NYC Reservoirs below average at 78.0% of capacity compared to normal of 89.9%. Consumption normal at 0.98 billion gallons for the week.
