I would have to describe our conditions this week as Mildly Wet based on all the puddles and sticky, gooey mud I've been walking through, sinking in, and tracking into our house. We had 0.68" of precipitation falling over 5 days mostly as rain, but also 1.6" of snow; however, in addition to the precipitation falling from the sky, we've had another 1.72" of snowpack water entering the soil and environment as our 6" icy dense snowpack melted rapidly in thawing conditions. The snowpack ranged from 6" to 0" and then back up to 1.5" this morning. Daily high temperatures this week have been mostly above seasonal average getting into the mid-fifties (F) on four days and as high as 61(F) on 2/18/2026; temperatures have dropped back down to a little below seasonal average this weekend with the return of wintery conditions. Fewer birds visited the bird-feeder this week and squirrels appear to be wintering well.
