Keeping Severely Dry although some moisture this past week has been welcome but not enough. High country has received some decent snow to at least keep the SWE from getting much worse. MTD Precipitation is 74% of PRISM Normal, YTD is 60% of Normal and WYTD is 54% of Normal. We still have time to recover in March and April. A bit hard to assess the state of vegetation since most is dormant. I have not seen any cheat grass coming up yet. A small herd of deer came through the neighborhood this morning but weren't really feeding. Still lots of birds at the birdbath. Mostly crows, magpies, Steller's jays, and a myriad of LBBs consisting of mostly juncos. Snow conditions in the park are improved over last week with reports of better snow conditions for recreation. River basin SWE estimates from Snotel sites show 58% of median for my 6-Digit HUC and 73% for my 8-Digit HUC. No new fire restrictions but there have also been no planned pile burning executed. Another snowstorm is predicted for Tuesday evening and most of the day Wednesday so maybe we will get some more relief.
