My neighborhood is in good shape even though we are 2.44" below normal form April 1st to May 13th. It's been 11 days since we had around 3/4 inch, and the farmers are making great progress with spring panting. The top 3" is dry but adequate moisture below. Lawns, alfalfa, winter wheat and pastures are green and growing. Sloughs, marshes and frog ponds are near normal. The Baraboo River is a couple of feet below normal. It has been great weather for outdoor construction as well as outdoor activities.
