| The ground is saturated and mud is very prevalent again. 1.33" of total precipitation has fallen over the past 7 days, with 10" of measurable snow. Mule deer and cliff swallows have arrived. No leaves have emerged yet, but with warmer weather in the forecast, I bet the aspens and willow will start to bud. There are still some snow piles in the trees on north-facing slopes, but it has mostly melted otherwise. Water Year totals for the date: Total Precipitation: 13.86" - 105% of average | Total Snowfall: 192.7" - 124% of average |

| In town I officially reported 0.86” of rain for the week of May 8-14. All lawns are lush green and growing (too) fast. All our hostas have erupted out of the ground and most are at least 15” high. All trees in the neighborhood are leafed out and providing shade. We’re still pondering our garden layout even as others near us are fully planted, so we need to get busy with it.
The May 9 drought monitor reduced our severity from D3 to D2, making the farmers much happier with the crop outlook. We’ve probably returned to near normal moisture. The first ruby-throated hummers were seen on May 5. |

| Even with 0.39 inches of rainfall on the 6th through 7th last week, the soil has now dried below 2 inches from the surface, albeit most grasses and other vegetation still are green and not dried out. Irrigation of crops has begun in earnest.
Several wildland fires were contained during the week.
The flood control reservoirs are not releasing snowmelt runoff due to lack of snow pack in the mountains. |
