Over the past seven days we have recorded 1.58" of rain, bringing the water-year-to-date to 99% of PRISM normal. Despite the official classification as unusually dry, the observation on the ground looks very different. The local soccer fields are wet and squishy, trails around town have lots of puddles and mud and drainage ditches are near full of water. The grass is greening up rapidly and the daffodils are budding and are ready to bloom any day now.
