| Several days of temps in the high 30s and low 40s. Yellow skunk cabbage 'leaves' out. Blueberry blossoms are out in a profusion greater than I've seen in years...hope no hard freezes. Rhubarb and garlic growing, lots of pollen from the alders...many people remarking on sinus stuffiness, watery eyes (allergic/sensitivity?). More small songbirds flying through. Large group of oyster catchers seen yesterday; likely one pair will stay in the area. Black bear are out-one large boar in our yard 3 mornings ago...all neighbors taking bird feeders down for the season and garbage cans being secured. First cruise ships in this week and today the annual Litter Free community clean up. |

| This week has been quite dry, with only 0.05 inches of rain recorded on April 11th. Since then, there hasn't been any significant precipitation, though some areas experienced a trace amount due to patchy drizzle. Overall, the weather has been relatively quiet. The grass remains green, indicating a typical transition from spring to summer.
We have observed northerly winds, which are common when high pressure systems build in. However, these winds are not at advisory levels and are not a concern for coastal California residents. It's a perfect time to fly a kite!
Looking ahead, conditions are expected to become drier. So far this month, we've received 2.04 inches of rain. For the year, we've accumulated 32.95 inches of rain, with only one day missing out of the 109 days observed.
Thank you for allowing me to participate in this great volunteer opportunity. Talk to you all next weekend! |

| My area picked up 0.24" of precip over the week. It was beginning to look like mildly dry soil conditions had arrived but for the time being near normal soil conditions will remain. Heavy weather with some large hail was to our North 50 miles or so, so far. Our NWS warning for stormy weather in the region pretty much nailed it and hopefully they will be able to continue to do so. Area waterways are down slightly since last week but are still fairly close to normal levels. With the cool temps lately the trees are slow to green and area lawns are slow to grow. I have yet to mow this year but will have to do so soon enough. Wildlife activity has been limited to just birds this week with the two resident geese still wandering around in my yard. Some crows have been around lately and one made the mistake of getting too near a turkey. I caught the tail end of what looked like the crow getting a rude demonstration of who is the boss. Those turkeys are not as tolerant as I once thought. |

There was 0.9 inches of snowfall measured for the week of 4/13/25-4/19/25 with measurable snow had occurred on 4/16/25 in the morning. There is currently 1.89 inches of precipitation was recorded at station NY-MR-89 so for the month of April compared to the normal climatology precipitation at KROC airport for the month is 1.92 inches of precipitation. There is currently 3.1 inches of snowfall recorded at station NY-MR-89 so for the month of April compared to the normal climatological snowfall at KROC airport for the month of April is 2.7 inches. Conditions were the same since the last update from last week with the area seeing some measurable precipitation over this past week, but little over the past several weeks prior. The area is considered mildly dry due to the surrounding environment and ground soil still remaining dry. Some evergreen plants such as Boxwoods are still showing signs of dryness, but signs of spring have emerged with Tulips and Daffodils are emerging in the flowerbed similar to last week, sprite some flowers becoming wilted with the snow and freezing temperatures earlier in the week. Trees and the Red Twig Dogwood in the backyard have started budding. The monthly snowfall is currently so far above average for the month of April. The sump pump hasn’t been pumping due to the ground becoming drier due to the lack of rainfall received the past several weeks. |

| Fire danger is still low. The creek is still moderately high and making plenty noise. Although this week has been dry and warm, and I have needed to water some of my little garden seedlings, the soil is quite moist and soft. Many things are in bloom, the flowering plum finally got it's act going, and the lilacs and other apple trees are blooming. In the forest, the very plentiful bleeding hearts are in bloom as well as the yellow violets and red dead nettle and veronicas. Annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and the ash trees are also blooming - sniffle, sneeze. Vigorous management of weeds and grasses is needed now, and I'm busy with it. Rodents seem plentiful, and the barn cats have left a number of carcasses on the back lawn. Birds are in various stages of nesting, and some may be feeding young already. Garden soil was easy to work this week, but since the soil was quite moist and the air quite dry, clods tended to form if I didn't work an area again while it was drying. It was a good week to take advantage of the clothesline. |

Tulips would also be in bloom if the deer weren’t eating them. Day lilies, bearded iris and hostas are growing quickly now. Trees are still showing red buds but should be popping green very soon. Hiking trails at Douglas Forest are pretty wet and hard to get through due to standing or flowing water on the trails, a little wet for April but not excessively so.
