It has been dry here, the recent snowfall notwithstanding. Too early in the month to report MTD numbers, but PRISM YTD has me at 43% of normal, and WYTD is at 45% of normal. the month of April I was at 21% of PRISM Normal. The Snowpack SWE also paints a dismal picture with 19% of Median in my 6-Digit HUC and 22% of Median in my 8-Digit HUC. The yard is pretty dry right now with minimal grasses, sedges, and wildflowers coming up and the shrubs are looking pretty stressed. Deer and elk have come through grazing and browsing. Birds are hitting the birdbath regularly. The river gauges I am following all report much lower than normal flows for this date, less than 50% of normal. No new fire restrictions in place in any of the jurisdictions I am covered by. There is a lot of angst in the community about the current dry conditions.
