Like a clock, I'm going to swing back to Near Normal. We've had some precipitation during the past week (5 out of last 7 days) but we've also had both a warm spell and a very cold spell. Basement has 50% wet spots. My SWE measurement tells me that about a half inch of liquid should have entered the ground in the past 2 weeks-- a nice gentle amount. Not flooding in any way. Any standing water has been brief and only of the usual puddles. The only thing left that is unusual is that the remaining snowpack of 11.5" is dense enough to walk on very easily (which is allowing one dog to get to places she's not normally allowed) and there is some of the very deep snow from mid-February still literally 'hanging off' roofs, partially melted and partially frozen with icicles. 

Red squirrel and gray squirrel are active and around. Birds (blue jays, cardinals, chickadees, juncos, sparrows, crows & starlings) are hungry, but happy. Bunny has been about and seen in the dark BUT in an act of cunning the bunny got through the backyard fence with what must have been some squeezing and contorting. The snow is deep on either side of the fence, so she must have gone down a crack in the snow near the fence, through her favorite fence crossing spot between 2 wooden boards, and then back up the other side pile of snow with a "whew!"  So a "U"-shaped path 3" wide and 7" long.

While there has been neighborhood word of skunks around, I'm not yet seen or smelled one. Same news of but no show of local robins.

Allergies have been bad.  Getting stuffed up every night.

Another difference to note: sunrise is now starting BEFORE 6 a.m. and it's clearly still light with sunshine at 5 p.m.  The positive difference this makes to the quantity of hope cannot be understated. More please.
