Only 4.4mm of rain this week and no snow. With temperatures near/above freezing Feb. 23-28 almost all of the snowpack has melted so I judge we’re still Mildly Wet.

Farm fields are largely snow-free yet many are waterlogged; it’s too still early for any activity.

With most of the snowpack gone I’ve slightly reduced the frequency at which I refill birds feeders, while keeping the bird bath filled and plugged in.  Saw the first American Robins of the season on Friday Feb. 28.

Environment Canada’s Sydenham River gauge at Florence, about 30 river kilometers upstream, has current level and discharge measurements of 4.885 meters and 42.5 m3/s respectively. The river crested there at about 3:00PM on Saturday March 1 at 5.722 meters and 68.3m3/s.
