No appreciable snow accumulation, dirty brown piles of plowed snow. Very dusty air, dirt accumulates on car parked outside quickly. |

| The ground is currently frozen and mostly covered with snow. It has been super cold this week with below zero temperatures at night for the last four nights. Lots of birds at the feeders along with squirrels and the occasional rabbit. Feels like Winter this week, but the with upcoming, warm forecast I am feeling nervous about Winter ending and Spring coming. |

| The doldrums of February tend to be the harshest period of winter, and this one lives up to that. In-house humidity is in the 20's, overnight outdoor temperatures are often near zero, Alberta Clipper winds have been intense. Unlike the past few years, a snow cover of over a foot provides insulation and tunneling materials for the local mammals. Fox tracks are common and no sign of bears, good for them and us. Snow totals have reached approximately 2/3rds of normal. The Drought Monitor has a band reaching 100 miles inland in moderate drought from Maine nearly to the North Carolina border, creating concerns for the spring agricultural season. Tourism in winter consists of Nordic (XC) and Alpine skiing and snowmobiling, which is seeing good conditions. The ice air landing field in Alton Bay, the only FAA ice field in CONUS, opened for business a few weeks ago and is seeing lots of landings. The Black Ice Pond hockey event, postponed and finally held in rinks last year, was held outside Feb 7th - 9th. Weather has been in a repeated 3- or 4-day cycles of intense blue sky, high pressure, high winds, followed by clouding up, snow, repeat. |

recent rain and snow has helped our water table. Local rivers and natural springs are running at higher levels this week. The ground is froze as of this morning. The ice storm last week hit this area hard with many downed trees and branches which knocked out electricity to many. It was out for nearly 30 hours at this location. |

General Awareness Plants & Wildlife Water Supply & Quality
| One-week interim report to update conditions. Station precipitation through the first 3 weeks of Feb. (rain and snow/ice) is at 6.19" almost 300% of normal (~4 in.). If the month ended today it would be a top 5 wettest February on record at several nearby climate stations. This has reduced the Water year (Oct. 1 to date) deficit to less than a half-inch below the NOAA normal, 14.24" v. 14.63".
The nearby USGS gage Roanoke River at Roanoke 7-day flow as of 2/20/25 was 3712 cfs or the 99th percentile of all flows for the date (812% of median). This is still in response to the record rain event of 2/15-16. but stages are falling rapidly.
Carvins Cove local water supply reservoir as of 2/20 was at 0.0 feet below full pond (100% capacity) a +2.3 ft. change over the past week. This is the first CM report since 4/15/24 that I have noted full capacity at this key reservoir.
US Drought Monitor (USDM) issued as of 2/18/25 showed no drought over the western 2/3 of VA and nearby WV. Will show Mildly Wet at this site to better reflect the recent dramatic changes and could almost put Moderately Wet but no significant precipitation expected the next week. |
