No significant precipitation has occurred since the 12 inches of snowfall recorded in mid-January. Winter has generally been calm and mild. That said, there have been several occasions with wind gusts exceeding 50mph, topping out around 65mph on March 15th. Adequate field coverage from fall precip reduced the intensity of blowing dust in our area.

Wheat continues to look strong, but March has seen 4 days with highs above 90ºF and a hard freeze (13ºF) in between. December 1st through Spring Equinox has been the warmest on record (graphics attached).
