The area is currently considered mildly wet and conditions had have remained the same despite the ground still being very wet since the last update due to the area receiving an abundance of precipitation in the form of rain since there has been a lot of measurable rainfall last month in April and also in the month of March and this had caused the area to still be very moist and the ground still very muddy and squishy due to the abundance of moisture the area had received in the past. The sump pump has been pumping less periodically during the entire week due to the ground still moist from more soaking rain the area experienced this week and over the past couple of months. Outdoor activities have been good with warm and dry weather to begin the week despite a lot of wet and cool weather hindering walking on trails towards the weekend and local creeks and streams water levels are receding at lower levels along with some very warm air in the environment most of the week (Sunday-Wednesday) with temperatures warmer than average for most of the week with several days with below average temperatures (Thursday-Saturday), but no snow had taken place this week and 0 inches of snow depth currently on the ground. The area experienced well below average temperatures most of the week with temperatures cooling well below average by the end of the week. Furnace has been working below average for most this week and not needed to turn on and given a break and the air conditioner has been working for the first time this season on Monday and Tuesday this week to cool the house due to the warmer than average temperatures prevailing over the area most of the week due to temperatures warming well above average (as much as 19 degrees Fahrenheit above average and as much as 15 degrees below average for the remainder of the week after Wednesday. The ground still very muddy and squishy with all the rain that had fallen several weeks prior and the drainage area in the backyard is free of standing water temporary before another deluge of rain expected late Saturday morning into Sunday Morning and the area could use another break from the rain and the area could use another period of dry weather for the ground to dry up and become less muddy. Signs of spring still the same as last week with Tulip leaves and daffodils still are present with Tulips that are starting to show signs of die off for the season this week along with the grass is still remaining green and vibrant with all the moisture that had fallen over the past couple of weeks along with leaves on the trees approaching near full foliage. The front yard needed to be hand mowed once this week along with vegetation such as Dogwoods and trees in the backyard are showing signs of full leaf growth, but mowing the backyard was still a challenge due to the ground being very wet and muddy and Boxwoods needed trimming to remove dead vegetation. So far, the total precipitation at this station for the month of May is currently above average and snowfall accumulation is currently below average.
