Not much rain or snow the last two weeks, or even in the last month, really. We have had a couple inches of snow, but less that half an inch of precipitation overall in the last few weeks. Sure, everything may be frozen, and then wet when it melts, but the gut feeling is that it has been dry for quite a while. The metrics indicate that as well. Birds have been active at the feeders, and a lot of deer and small mammals (raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, etc.) have been eating the dropped bird feed - lots of tracks in the snow! Our pumpkins have finally been discovered by the deer too. Rollercoaster of temperatures the last week or so.
