Very cold conditions ruled the week.  A little shot of snow yesterday from the northern tier of Winter Storm Fern left a half an inch of snow on the ground.  Conditions are to stay cold this week with highs expected to remain only in the teens.  No snow is expected.  MTD and YTD at 49% of NOAA Norm with WYTD at 79%. Looks like the month will definitely end with a deficit of precipitation. Area rivers maintained low, steady levels and are completely ice covered.
