Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: ID-BK-27
Station Name: Inkom 5.5 N
Report Date: 2/15/2026
Submitted: 2/15/2026 6:14 AM
Scale Bar: Moderately Dry
Description:
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.
