About 2.5cm of new snow this week. Rising temperatures and sunny days have resulted in some settling and sublimation of the snowpack. Ground coverage is still at 100% with a depth of about 33cm (13”). No significant melt as yet. Snowfall for February was less than the climate average, but snow on the ground at month end is pretty close to normal. Surfaces such as decks and sidewalks are melting more easily as the sun is higher in the sky. Forest trails are packed and easily walkable. Nordic trails and the ski hill are in excellent condition and are pretty busy. Bird activity at the feeder is as last reported, no migrating birds seen as yet. No bear reports.
