| Our dearth of moisture continues as I recorded no measurable precipitation for the past week. The longer days and often sunny conditions continue to slowly degrade our minimal snowpack now at just 11.0 inches. There are many insects beginning to appear although to this point no mosquitoes. The moose remain MIA but the wild birds abound obviously enjoying the warmer weather. Many of the local lakes show evidence of water up-welling through the thin ice and then re-freezing on the surface ice at night. The environment appears ready for the seasonal change! |

Fire red flags were for a potential risk due to high winds and dry conditions. 12 counties in the state are currently under burn ban. Increase in birds and squirrels. Personal note, there is a squirrel that my dogs chased out of the back yard and is now terrorizing them from the non fenced in front yard. A few ladybugs or orange ladybugs were seen. Mice and deer increase witnessed around the area. Saw a bald eagle swoop down on the Cedar River and catch a nice early dinner. Outdoor Rec Activities are ramping up.

| The ground is supersaturated. Stream flow well above normal. The lawns are very soggy. The plants and trees are blooming. Will definitely be severely wet by the middle or end of this week according to the GFS Canadian Model and the European models. Cincinnati will likely have some impassible local roads sometime this week due to flash flooding and high water. There will likely be landslide problems and retaining wall failures in the Cincinnati area this week due to the extreme amount of rain in the forecast. I will have to probably issue another condition monitoring report in several days later this week stating severely wet. Rain fall is already well above normal this year and will be extremely above normal for the year before this week is over with nearly twice the normal amount for the year if the forecast holds true. Over a half foot of rain is in the forecast this week. Doe Run Lake Reservoir is full as of today in Kenton County and the dam will definitely overflow later this week causing severe flooding problems in Pioneer Park along KY 17 and to some of the homes on old KY 17 in Kenton County, Kentucky. There could even be a potential of some trees uprooting on steep slopes this week due to the supersaturated soil. |

| So it’s been somewhat a wet March, precip up a bit but it does not make up for the dry Jan and Feb. as well as going back to Oct, 2024. Our water year is down a lot. We are a town of all on wells so a lack of rainfall over time could affect the water table below us and thus our wells. Our two notable streams in town, both called a river but as we are the headwaters location of them, they are only brooks. Anyhow, both are flowing but in reduced normal capacity.
Animal life appears to be normal, seeing lots of birds and the usual four legged creatures.
However our trees are still taking a beating both from a lack of sufficient rainfall and various invasive insects that are killing our trees over the past several years. Both the surrounding towns themselves and the power companies are trimming and cutting along roads and power service routes. Our local nature reserve has closed many days to deal with dead or dying trees and limbs which cause safety concerns to users of the facility.
Snowfall was again down this year at about half its normal. I believe I only logged one day I measured ice accumulation.
and over the last couple months we have fluctuated between mildly and moderately dry. |

| I am troubled when I say "Near Normal" because while we have had close to an inch of rain in the past week the surface appears normally damp but, officially, we are in a D0 situation. I did note that a local stream was looking a bit low. Several local river gauges are showing lower than normal flows while others are showing normal flows. I haven't noted any new plant growth yet. Red Winged Blackbirds are still hanging around as are several Dark Eyed Juncos. I thought both of these would have moved on by now but what do I know? The usual four footed creatures are regular visitors: skunks, opossums, raccoons, deer, foxes and coyotes. Weather is typical March weather, often cold, windy and damp. |

| Precipitation has come regularly enough lately that conditions are still edging back to the normal side again. Now it seems that anytime we get rain over 0.10" it pools in the yard and comes into the basement, so the soils seems to be close to saturated. Temperatures are running the spring roller coaster - it seems like it is warm one day and cold the next quite often. A lot of birds we usually see in Spring are finally arriving - robins, and even orioles, but the juncos haven't departed yet, so they must know something we don't (more snow?). The first flowers have been popping up too, mostly grape hyacinths, crocuses, and the neighbors have daffodils. |

| Since early November, there has been only one rain (0.33") of significance (beyond a trace or few hundredths). It came as rapidly melting snow overnight, I went on a short hike late morning expecting the usually muddy spots - but no mud, ground barely damp, as it was all sucked in and/or evaporated already. Spring natives are showing in areas where water has run off nearby yards, but for the most part just dry. 2024 was a banner tumbleweed season, and dry dusty spring winds are blowing them everywhere. To complete the lack of a real winter, temperatures have been unseasonably warm. Many of the cute spinystar cacti have totally vanished, presumably eaten, and a number of prickly pears have been eaten to the base of the pads. There is just no other food for small mammals. |

Precip occurred the first 7 and the last day of the 14 days and totaled approx 0.5”. The approx 8.5” snowpack present the first day of the period was down to a trace in 7 days and entirely gone by the 10th day (Wed 3/26). Daytime high temps ranged from 39°F (Mon 3/17) to 76°F (Wed 3/25) and averaged 53°F, while daily low temps were in the mid -teens to low 30’s and averaged 25°F. The one advantage to these warmer than normal temps (both day and night) was lower heating needs, even overnight. Breezy conditions were limited to wind gusts below 27 mph here during the NWS High Wind Advisories and final Wind Advisory over the last 6 days this period. Flies, moths and spiders appeared outside (and in the house!) for the first time this season on the warmer days. |
