| A trace of precip from 0.1" of snow was recorded at my station over the past week. A week that was fairly cold with a low of around -10F Tuesday morning that pretty much matched the NWS cold forecasts, with warmer forecasts on the way. Most likely many are hoping that they continue. Area waterways are low and frozen up along with the surface soil. So, all things considered, continuing with moderately dry soil conditions seems about right. I saw various tracks in the snow recently, including fox, deer, squirrels, mice, likely coyote and only one set of rabbit tracks. I also saw what was probably a coopers hawk and definitely a red tailed hawk, on the lookout for sure. I don't know which is worse right now, being a starving predator searching for its next meal or being the meal. Well, probably being the meal. |

| We had snow overnight Mon (2/17)/Tues (2/18). I estimate 4-5" when all was said and done. I'm unsure how to report that in the precipitation report, as very little snow made it into the guage container, so there was only a skiff of snow to melt. A little wind drifted the snow, enough that I didn't know where to measure for accuracy. I just know I had to sweep and shovel to clear walks and drive. Temps have been exceedingly cold, into negative numbers without the wind chill. Schools closed Tu & Wed because of the negative temps and snow. The comb on my rooster is damaged with frostbite. A racoon, looking for food in the barn, destroyed the live trap. I've seen several good sized herds of deer grazing on winter wheat. |

| With 1.55” of gauge catch early this week (possibly more as snowfall SWE measurements were higher) has conditions back to near normal for the first time since last fall’s drought. Much of that precipitation is still in the form of snowpack as conditions have remained very cold this week. The Pascoag Reservoir is still frozen solid as it has been since early January. The ice surface is very rough from the snow/rain/freeze cycle so not a lot of skaters but the occasional ATV and ice fishers are still heading out. Hiking trails at Sprague Farm and Douglas Forest are getting a lot of use but are extremely icy. Ice cleats are a must right now. With the recent snow, we are seeing lots of deer tracks in the woods this week. Sadly, we also saw a deer carcass on the ice on Pascoag Reservoir that had obviously been attacked by coyotes. Winter birds like woodpeckers, sparrows, blue jays and cardinals were very active this week after the storms cleared. George Washington state park still posts fire danger as Low. |
