The week started off mild before three storm systems moved through, bringing very windy conditions along with rain and snow. The first system was mostly rain before turning to snow. This was also the wettest system. The next two systems were snow. A total of 1.03 inches of rain/melted snow fell. It was also very windy with blowing snow but about 2 inches of snow fell. A gust of 36 mph occurred on Wednesday morning. High temperatures started at 60° last Sunday before dropping into the 40's mid week and ending the week in the low 50's. Low temperatures ranged from a low of 19° on Saturday to 40° on Monday. The only snow that remains is in the shady areas. No change in plant life in the wildland areas but plants continue to come out of dormancy in the garden. A hyacinth is now blooming and the Bishop weed (Aegopodium podagraria), bottle brush plant (Sanguisorba), and cranesbill geranium are breaking dormancy with new growth. More garlic is also sprouting. No wildlife seen except birds.
