January finished with 0.78" of precip (0.26" above normal), coming from 11.8" of snow, largely from one storm early in the month that dropped 9.1" of snow, and 0.67" of liquid. Only very minor storms over the last 3 weeks. Magpies, crows, and doves have all been more active than normal. Our Norway Maples have started to drip a bit of sap, which is a few weeks earlier than usual.
