Our conditions this stormy week were Severely Wet with 4.41" of rain falling over 6 days. All the rain has caused the Kalamazoo River and local Millrace to flood our local River Walk, closing it to foot-traffic. There is a lot of standing water in local farm fields and woodlands and there are muddy conditions thoughout the neighborhood. Grass is greening up, though not growing much yet. Maple trees, fruit trees and lilacs are budding. Daffodils, crocus, snow-drops and a few forsythia bushes are blooming. Daily high temperatures this week have been roller-coastering ranging from 77F to 44F. March was a wetter than average month as it ended with 5.51" of precipitation falling over the month, which is 228% above our average PRISM precipitation for March of 3.09". March also had a monthly total of 2.7" of snow, which brings our seasonal snow total to 88.3" since last October.
