Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: NY-SL-21
Station Name: Heuvelton 0.3 WNW
Report Date: 3/16/2026
Submitted: 3/16/2026 10:04 AM
Scale Bar: Near Normal
Description:
Near Normal, under 1" of precipitation in a week. But what's changed is that the moisture is moving, not longer "locked" in one phase (frozen). All of the wet spots from a week ago, of the spring-melt type, big gloppy puddles, are much drier and there are new wet spots of the more humdrum-spring-rain type. We did have a traditional sugar snow: heavy and yet fluffy all around the freezing point. I believe we are at mid-maple season now?

Weather is in an uproar, changing it's type about every 6 hours now: snow, rain, ice, thunderstorm, wind, and then a sunny burst. 

In the garden, snowdrops want to bloom, but they are tentative: happy one day, snow covered the next. Daffodil leaves are ~3" high. The ground is still heaving mightily.

Many, many geese flocks overhead. Birds have mostly abandoned feeders now and are picking through what fell to the ground before snow covered it up. Bunny rabbit, who used to be visible at night as a small round dark patch against the snow, now blends into the brown ground so well, he can't be seen.

Allergies are also variable: fine one day, miserable the next.

The increased light is noticed. We are changing seasons.
