Conditions are moderately wet due to the melting snowpack rather than precipitation. Undisturbed ground is about 80% snow covered with a roughly three-inch average depth; where the ground is exposed it is saturated with persistent standing water in lower places. There remains a considerable potential for continued snowmelt. We’re in something of a freeze-thaw pattern with daytime temperatures getting well into the 40s and generally fair skies. More folks are out bike riding and road-running rather than doing outdoor winter activities. Lake Michigan remains ice covered for a considerable distance from the shore. Hickory Creek never did freeze but drainage ditches are a mixture of ice and water. The persistent deep-wintery pattern that we were under appears to finally be lifting.
