Mildly dry: Near normal short-term snow and precipitation for the year so far, with 7" new snow this week. Long-term D1 moderate drought continues. We could have used the latest foot of snow that fell to our south today, not that I wanted to deal with it. We have a few more days of cold, with above normal temps due in by Wednesday. Early maple sap run is on hold, should resume later this week. Fields are snow-covered, wildlife in normal condition for March, with low snowpack. No migrating birds noted, just year-round locals at the feeder.
