General: We remain dry. We had .39" of rain this week, but our February snow total is 7.6" (compared with our 28 year uncalibrated average of 22.07") and 1.35" of snowmelt/rain (compared with 3.52 long-term). For the year, we are at 32" of snow, with our 28 year average being 110.68 (sd = 39.4).
Agriculture: It's worrying, for sure. This is dryland farming up here.
Energy: We're into an energy creation phase, for sure. Yesterday we created 54.04 kWHR of energy, and used only 27.39 kWHR. Very mild weather, and partial sun all day.
Fire: Risk is increasing, of course.
Plants/wildlife: Birds are returning. Heard song-sparrows this week, and, of course, the robins never left!
Water: Worrying. The creek is running (never stopped, really), though I assume it will dry up early this year.
