Oak and sweetgum trees starting to bud out with some tender growth occurring. Lawns are greening and some weeds appearing, soils are moist from last week storms.  Azaleas blooming, pears and redbud finishing blooming, as have early tubers.   6 month rainfall amount is still at 79%, but doesn't seem to be hurting wildlife or landscaping.  More concerned with projected coldsnap for Mar 17-20, as it may effect young tender growth.  Creek levels near normal, standing farm ponds mostly wet or near normal.
