With a total of approximately .31" of precipitation in the past week, conditions at this station appear Mildly Dry. Patchy snow and ice cover is dry in the colder temperatures of the past week. It is once again difficult to keep unheated water in outside containers and wildlife is measured about time in the open. Forecasted snow passed us over and that pesky ice is still hanging around, despite reports. The lack of precipitation makes winter recreation difficult and we are hoping for more snow before spring arrives.
