No precip last week. No snow on the ground. The strong winds dried out the top soil. The top 4 inches of the soil are dry, just a little below that. The juniper and pinyon trees are showing a little brown as if stressed. Some weeds and cool-season grasses are thriving. The deer are definitely enjoying the green grasses and weeds. The strong winds and the agricultural burning have increased the haze in the area.
