Liquid equivalent precipitation so for for February is about 50% of normal with the addition of 0.64 inches this week. Multiple days of above freezing temperatures did little to reduce the snowpack which remains at 14 inches. With the deep snow cover, conditions appear near normal for late February. The warmer weather did put a light crust on the snow surface which provides support for the squirrels, rabbits, porcupines, opossum and turkeys. The crust does not inhibit the deer and is still not strong enough to support coyotes. The surface of my pond has emerged from the snow due to melting from below. Mt Greylock trails are still mostly snow covered, though bare spots are appearing in normally wet sections.
