Mildly dry conditions -- mainly affecting wildlife. Zero precipitation this week (3/12 - 3/18); no precipitation for 11 days. Only one precipitation event so far this month -- 4.7" snow (SWE 0.44") on 3/5 - 3/6. PRISM normal for March is 2.05". The last couple nights, raccoons and/or opossums are visiting the heated bird bath -- something that usually only occurs during summer dry spells. Most of the ground is bare; remnants of snow remain in deep shade areas. The rain garden is still full of ice and snow. Sunny, bare-ground areas have moist soil; the top 4-6" is now frost-free. Lawn areas still brown; no cultivated or wild perennial plants showing yet. Buds swelling on some trees. Temps have been mostly near normal.
