Only some drizzle this week, bringing March to 0.86", 12% of normal.  The drought map shows an addition of northern Mono, Alpine and eastern El Dorado counties to D0--Abnormally Dry.  The Northern Sierra 8-Station Precipitation report at CDEC shows 0.10" for March, 1% of normal (8.10").  The April 1st snow survey, following our heat wave, will probably not be good.  And the CPC predicts the Apr-May-Jun period will be above average temperatures and below average precipitation.  Highs this week in upper 60s and low 70s, low average 45f.  Both the Mad River and Eel River continue to slowly drop, however Ruth Lake Reservoir remains at 102% of normal.  Bike tour business my son works with has jumped with this nicer weather, with tours going almost daily to places from Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in the north to Avenue of the Giants in the south.  With this past year's completion of the bike trail between Eureka and Arcata around Humboldt Bay, you can ride from Sue-meg State Park (formerly Patrick's Point) in the north to Fields Landing, below Eureka to the south, 36 miles, and only travel on Hwy 101 for a short distance between Moonstone Beach and Clam Beach (less than a half mile),  Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius), everyone's love-hate plant, is in full bloom almost everywhere now, as is the Trillium, my favorite.
