Only 0.13” total rain this week, so we will call it mildly dry. Hiking and biking trails are getting covered in leaf drop, mostly dry with a few wet areas in the usual spots. Our pond has dropped back down a little with a high on the 3rd at -0.2" & low on the 9th at -1.5" (12” is top of the spillway). Mad River level from the Paddlers gage at six mile bridge was approximately -1.0’ all week. Our first seasonal frost occurred on the 7th with a 29.7° reading. Vegetable garden is done for this year. WMNF fire danger sign is still set at Moderate. Foliage is near peak this week but with a lot of leaves starting drop from maples, beeches and birches, oakes are just starting to turn rusty red.
