We received only a trace of precipitation this week that fell as snow flurries. The 2 week total is 2.3” and most of that fell as sleet last week and is partly still on the ground. It has been much colder than normal this past week with only a couple of days above freezing and several mornings in the single digits. Some melting of the ice has occurred and is improving the soil moisture deficit but there is still no improvement in the low water body levels. Plant/crop growth is basically non existent due to ice cover and cold. Local graziers are feeding much hay to their livestock. There is low fire danger at this time.
