| Since the last report, rainfall here has totaled 3.67 inches, resulting in noticeably less wet conditions. Ponding in a nearby field has shrunk by about half, and turf at this site is no longer soft and soggy. But grass is deep green and flowering shrubs show good color. Lettuce and some other cooler-weather plants have been planted. Animal activity has picked up. Fire danger is now moderate. Business activity remains brisk and COVID-19 infection levels low. |

| The ground is nearly saturated. The lawn is mushy. Water readily penetrates sneakers when walking on the grass, causing wet feet. The ground is extremely moist and soft. Pond level and stream flow above normal. Despite some fair weather days, April has been generally very wet so far. The Licking and Ohio Rivers are relatively high and just below flow stage. People cutting their lawns were having trouble with their lawn mowers jamming this last weekend. For an example, my next store neighbor took 3 hours just to cut their 190 X 210 foot yard even using their riding lawnmower, which kept jamming. The grass is growing vigorously. The vegetation is much more established than normal for this time of the year. For example, leaves on trees getting quite large. The oak trees are already having middle sized leaves. |

| Be careful what you wish for, Dorothy. Last month, I complained of the lack of snow. We got 12.5" of heavy wet snow in the first half of April and 8.1" on March 23-24 totaling 40% of the water year snow total, too late for the closed ski areas. Total water precip is above normal both for the calendar year (152%) and water year (124%). This felt like the 3rd spring melt flood of the year. Usually we have one. Roads suffered serious washouts. High winds on the last storm took down a remarkable number of trees, with tens of thousands without power, some for as long as 5 days. Power is critical for those who pump their own water (estimated 60% of NH). Ironically, a symposium on climate change was postponed due to seasonable weather. Minor flooding, standing water in the fields, and basement flooding was common. Businesses and schools were closed for days. Chainsaw and generator sales probably grew, but much of the rest of the economy took a hit. Sunny and 60° this week will help dry things out. |

| Even giving it a couple days since I have had rain, I have noticed a lot of standing water in areas near my house. My yard, while there is no standing water in my yard, the ground is still quite soft and somewhat muddy. |

| Sunny and cool with light winds, then mostly clear overnight with light winds. The high temperature was around fifty nine degrees, and the low around thirty eight degrees Fahrenheit. Songbirds are eating more, a feeder full every day. Intermittent streams are mostly all flowing at a medium spring rate. Some manure is being spread. Dandelions are blooming more, Yellow Dock leaves are over 6 inches in some cases, Dead Nettle are blooming more. |

| Returned home after winter in AZ. Moisture conditions appear near-normal, with a few puddles in low spots and ditches, typical of spring. No foliage on trees yet, although the maples are starting to bud. Grass slowly starting to green up. This rain is welcome and will definitely help. |
