Conditions here are moderately dry.  Our region remains classified by the State in "moderate drought".  Some good news is last week's rain fall puts to about 105% of "normal" for January.  Some lawns are beginning to "green up" and tress and bushes buds have appeared.  Some areas around the State are still wary of outdoor burning.  Lake Jordon levels have risen slightly and small streams are flowing at low levels.  The Haw River was at near back full levels yesterday..
