Received 0.70” precipitation in January, a bit more than normal, leaving us at 101% of normal for the year to date. However, we are at only 60% of normal for the water year to date. Temperatures in the fall and winter have been generally been much higher than normal. Between that and the wind, there is little moisture available for plants. I see some lawns in my neighborhood developing big bare spots. The lawn has turned to dust and is now just eroding soil.
