The total precipitation since Feb. 20 has been 0.00.  The soil is dry and dusty.  Due to dust the air has been unhealthy.  Some plants are growing but very few compared to a normal March.  Some ants have appeared but far fewer than normal.  Trees and birds are healthy and doing well for now.  The Sandia mountains are dry with only a few patches of snow remaining.   The normal late March snow did not occur this year.  Our water supply is adequate with consistent flow in the Rio Grande River.
