The ground started to show cracks over the week end.  The Doe Run Lake Reservoir is low in Kenton County.  A J. Jolly Lake is very low that the boating dock is now useless.  In March, this will great a problem with the boaters unless we get a significant rainfall..  Campbell County, Boone county and Kenton County is now in D0 - ABNORMALLY DRY - BEGINNING OF DROUGHT. The lawn was very brown yesterday despite the milder weather last week.  The bushes will require watering at the beginning of spring next Sunday.  I may have to start to water my small evergreen trees that I have planted about 2 years ago after the NKWD reads my water meter in early March so I will not be charged extra on on Sanitation Sewer Water Bill.  I believe we may be approaching D1- MODERATERE DROUGHT this coming week unless we get a significant rain fall.  This snow fall last night was insignificant with only 0.02" SWE on the ground and about 1/2" of very fluffy snow.  Stream flow is very low with a small trickle.  Southern Campbell Country is probably now in D1 - MODERATE DROUGHT.  Pond level is somewhat lower than normal; but not extreme.    2.56" of rainfall including snow SWE during the last 60 days and 0.92" during the lasts 4 weeks.  The 60 day total is only about 40 percent of the normal total and the 4 week total is about 30 percent of the normal total.  Based on the 60 day total, the 40% to 45% threshold for ABNORMALLY DRY has been met.  The 30 day threshold of less than 1" on the gauge will probably be met on this Wednesday for D0 - ABNORMALLY DRY.  It is abnormally dry because of the 60 day threshold.
