0.62" of precipitation in the rain gauge this week, most of which was actually rain.  1.16" in the past 30 days.  Temperatures this week were above normal with extremes of 27F and 61F.  Virtually all the big snow from a month ago is gone, just a few remnants of the biggest drifts in deep shade remain.  Now I can see considerable standing water in neighboring fields. Geese are returning and the first robins and red wing blackbirds have been spotted.   Chipmunks have been active, too.
