General: It remains the driest winter in our time here, 28 years. The figure I've pasted is uncalibrated totals, since I've only been volunteering for 6 years. We currently have 24.6 inches total this winter, and expect 110" by now.
Agriculture: Not great outlook. We need the moisture for crops to thrive.
Energy: We produced 47.21 kWHR yesterday and only used 34.62 kWHR, so we're already exporting more than we use.
Fire: Risk is definitely increasing.
Plants/wildlife: We're seeing some birds returning.
Water: The creek never stopped running this winter, although the runoff will be pretty minimal, I'm sure. This is a tough year.
