General: We expect to have 1.405" of liquid in April, and we've received 1.06" (sd=.4"), so we're about 1 sd below average (hence "mildly dry").
Agriculture: Slightly worrying at this point. We usually see crops emerging by now, but no green in the fields.
Energy: We're in high-production stage with solar, creating 93.55 kWHR yesterday while consuming only 37.74 kWHR (with heat pumps running for heating).
Fire: We're moving into high risk now. There have been fires in Chubbuck already.
Plants/wildlife: Still very sparse bird numbers.
Water: We're at risk, for sure. The state has declared water restrictions. We are using our gray water for plants and toilet flushing, and saving water that would be wasted when trying to get hot water to the tap.
