General: We're still low on moisture, though last week brought some relief with over 1/2" received. We expect 18.89" (sd = 6.5") for the water year and we're at 12.97" so we're about 1 sd below expected (though we expect another 5" for the water year...we have a ways to go). It's early days for April, 2026.
Agriculture: The rain last week was very welcome. The crops had all been planted 3 days before, and it was a good soaking.
Energy: We're well into positive solar production: 87.23 kWHR produced yesterday, and 34.68 kWHR consumed. This is a very powerful testimony for solar energy.
Fire: Fire danger is probably high at this point.
Plants/wildlife: We've had some cold snaps this week, but everybody seemed to make it through okay. Numbers seem low, but species are close to what we had 2 years ago.
Water: Still pretty puny. The creek is running, but very low. Runoff is pretty much done for our area, and there hasn't been much action. Not a very optimistic picture, I'm afraid.
