Spring has arrived in a slow methodical manner and with it some snow events but not much additional precipitation. 
The field snow cover melted in about a week with little water accumulating and larger snow drifts and banks taking somewhat longer. We still have quite a bit of snow in the shelterbelt tree rows.  Migrating birds have been back for quite some time and the larger flocks that will be moving to the North have mostly moved on. Moisture I would guess is quite normal. The early deep snow prevented the landscape from freezing to its normal winter depth, thus allowing the melting snow to soak into the soil. 
Fire hazard to this point has been low because of the below normal temperatures but that could change soon. 
The herd of white tail deer that spent the coldest parts of the winter here in the yard with us, left after the first warm spell that allowed some bare ground to show up in the fields. There were about 40 animals at one time and they forced us to cover our feed supplies to prevent damage. The deer eat very little but manage to foul any feed supplies that are not tarped over.  Large operators have to keep much more feed around than they expect to use because of these losses. 
Activities around the yard have been limited due to deep snow in some parts of the farm. 
I did some snow measurements early in March and the nearest 30 acres that I was able to get to without some kind of snow machine gave me 2.7 inches of water using 5 measurements, 80 feet apart and not sampling the heavy snow drifts that appeared during the first powerful winter storm.
Field snow cover was maintained over most of the winter. 
The snow measurement for the winter, site, was covered over with drift snow twice during the time it was being monitored. Very strong East wind happened twice during the January to April time period.  The site I use is protected by 4 rows of trees but was not enough protection during the events mentioned. Much snow was removed from last years field stubble at these times as well. The totals were made up from the measurements from each snow event.
