Conditions are currently moderately wet, thanks to 1.27 inches of rain falling throughout the week on already saturated soils along with cooler temperatures. Soils this morning are wet and soft. No stream flooding was observed this week but standing water is persistent and only varies in degrees depending on current conditions and recent rains. Some agricultural activity, lawn mowing, and yardwork is occurring but is reduced due to wet conditions. Likewise, outdoor activity is also being inhibited by the generally unfavorable outdoor conditions. Planting is delayed due to the threat of future frosts. Lilly of the valley have begun to bloom. Frost reports were submitted on 4-30 and 5-2. Although there have been some overnight frosts, all precipitation has fallen as rain.
