Water year to date I am firmly in the Near Normal range per PRISM normals. My 6-digit HUC (South Platte River) is reporting 109% SWE to date and 8-digit HUC (Big Thompson) is also 109% SWE to date. Rivers are still very low flows (as expected). Plenty of snow in the park (Rocky Mountain National Park) for recreating. Birds are frequenting the bird bath (mostly crows, ravens, and magpies with a few Setllar's Jays and some small songbirds. The deer have been around browsing but have not seen any sign of our resident bobcat (harder to id when there is no new snow). The park has been conducting fire mitigation pile burns this past week, so there is a very low fire danger. |

Agriculture: Very hopeful for agriculture, based on snow level.
Energy: Solar panels still have some snow on them, so production is lower. On the last production day we created 31.94 KWHr, and used 59.23 KWHr. One-half of the array has cleared off, which helps.

| A good week for precip; between the snow/slush event and the following rain, we posted 1.84” total catch Sunday to Saturday. This brings February month-to-date catch to 3.94”, which is 106% of PRISM average. We’re still lagging considerably looking at Water Year to date; we’ve received a total of 15.00” against PRISM average of 22.05”, so we’re only at about 68% there. Things still look pretty normal for this time of year. Pond level remains above normal spring/summer height; estimate that pond is now about 80% open water. Bogs remain flooded and ice-covered. Saw an otter out towards the middle of the pond yesterday; still numerous ducks and plenty of terrestrial bird activity. |

| A storm early last week added ice and snow to the snowpack which resulted in a heavy crust of frozen precipitation on top of the previous layers and a thin layer of new snow on top of the ice. The resulting surface easily supports coyotes and smaller animals as well as walking deer. But running deer break through the crust into the deep snow.The coyotes have been successfully taking advantage of the conditions in their pursuit of deer. In addition to the coyotes and deer, fox, porcupine and squirrels are active. The deer have abandoned the higher elevations and are herding together. The snowpack is excellent for off trail snowshoeing, though less suited for back country cross country skiing. The storm produced little ice at lower elevations but a significant coating at elevations above 2000 feet. |

| The theme of the week - cold. Last weekend's storm brought some 7" of snow, measured after the precipitation changed from snow to graupel to rain, waterlogging and likely compressing the snow. Temps dropped well below freezing shortly after the storm passed and froze everything solid. I had cleaned up as well as I could before the freeze but getting around outside took effort.
Ice was so thick on top of the snow that I could walk around the whole yard (small area) without breaking through, measuring the snowpack took an extra effort to break through it without compressing it. I found the sharp point on the metal snow ruler worked well to break through and the slot it created was still accessible a few days later. Cleats on boots was another option that proved to be a success. The good news is that the sequence of snow, sleet (or graupel) and rain did not weigh down the trees much, so we avoided a lot of tree and power line damage.
The trend this coming week is a warmup. We are all hopeful that much of the ice will melt away. TV meteorologists have pointed out that these conditions are spread throughout most of the interior parts of the state, and we will all likely see the ice start melting away. I'm happy for that.
The local ski hill was packed yesterday when we drove by, plenty of people are taking advantage of the conditions. The usual cast of critter characters are out and about - squirrels, sparrows and juncoes. Lastly, spring is right around the corner, at least the meteorological start of the season. |

| The week initiated with wintery conditions – snowing, strong gusty winds, and temperatures dipping into the lower teens. These conditions persisted into Thursday which left enough snow to cancel or delay area schools and keep some local businesses closed on Thursday. By Thursday afternoon the weather pattern began to moderate and by Friday the afternoon, roads and driveways that had been plowed were snow-free and dry. The week finished with fairer weather and a freeze/thaw cycle setting in. Folks are beginning to tap their maple trees and daffodils (?) are just beginning to poke up above the snow. American tree sparrows, a wintering resident, appeared in the feeder and turkeys visited occasionally to scratch for fallen bird food beneath the feeder. The ground remains 100% blanketed in snow where it hasn’t been disturbed. South facing roofs are beginning to melt off. Otherwise, conditions remain frozen except during mid-day thaws. Lake Michigan is frozen for as far off shore as one can see. Some parts of the St. Joe River are solid ice whereas Hickory Creek is somehow remaining liquified. The rain gauge captured 0.18 inches of precipitation for the week and the snowboard accumulated 5.7 inches of snow, although winds probably reduced some accumulation.
