No rain, dry sunny weather and little change. We've received 4.62'' this YTD (76% of normal) and 8.49'' since Oct. 1 (58% of normal.)
We had an unusually late-season freeze on March 17 (most years our last freeze is in late February.) Red oaks are still leafing out slower than usual in low-lying areas where it freezes more often and harder. Case in point, it was 24°F on the 17th at a nearby LCRA gauge while only 30°F on our hilltop.
Grass, where there is green grass, is growing some but not much. Live oaks are lagging in their leaf replacement; most are still dead looking and pollen levels are still low, thankfully. It's a particularly poor year for bluebonnets, which are sparse and widely scattered...we expected as much after last summer's wetness and this winter's dryness which is a bad combo for spring wildflowers.
Burn bans remain in effect. A firefighter told me that until we get a sustained spring green-up to replace all the tall dry dead fuels standing everywhere, fire danger will continue.
