Not a lot of moisture but .13 inches of rain/melted snow fell for the week. It was all snow but melted soon after hitting the ground with no more than a dusting on the ground at any one time. There was even a clap of thunder on Friday. It was windy for the first part of the week with less wind at the end of the week. Highs started out in the 60's and dropped into the 40's with the arrival of the storm. The high of the week was 65° on Monday. The low of the week was 27° on Wednesday and Friday. Trees continue to bud out and more plants are coming out of dormancy. The artichoke and horseradish are now sprouting. Saw the robin, scrub jay, and other birds in the yard but it seems like there are less birds around this year. No other wildlife seen. |

Agriculture: The snow pack/melt is good news!
Energy: Yesterday our solar array produced 93.11 kWHR, and we used 49.37 kWHR. April should be a "home free" month in terms of utility bills.
Fire: Increased risk. People are starting to burn slash piles, so it's drying up.

It was nice to get some soaking rain mid-week, and soak in it certainly did. The ditches did not remain full and the water soaked in quickly. Did have some dew worms work their way to the surface, which the robins took advantage of. Locally, both the Rock and Green Rivers are up, with the Mississippi River having risen over 4 feet since Wednesday in Rock Island. Still no projected spring flooding issues forecast, but it is nice to see their levels more at normal. Grass has really greened up and is growing. Will probably give the yard its first cut this week to level everything up. Trees are leafing out. Still not a lot of farm field work occurring. Will start the week with below normal temps, but at least it is supposed to be sunny. No winds would be nice, but that doesn't look like that is going to happen with the incoming arctic front.

Surface conditions are very good and close to normal but with the below normal conditions for the first 6 months of the water year ( 9.78" vs. 14.63" or 4.85" below the 30yr. avg.) I will therefore keep my condition at Mildly Dry! My pond level is stable with just a small overflow which confirms that the recent rains soaked in rather than runoff.

| Had a retaining wall failure in my back yard on 4/4/2025. The rain had washed out some of the gravel and knocked over my 2 foot high railroad tie retaining wall. Approximately 40 to 50 feet of the fence above this retaining wall has been damaged and is leaning about 15 degrees with many broken boards. The ground is supersaturated. Torrential rainfall on April 3 and April 4. Doe Run Dam Reservoir had overflowed causing severe flooding In Pioneer Park in Kenton County and also had caused Banklick Creek to flow out of its banks on 4/5/2025. I have heard on the news that many parks in the Cincinnati area are closed due to flooding. There are already many local impassible roads in the Cincinnati metropolitan area and some locations in northern Kentucky due to the Ohio River going to 60 feet the next day. There are now many restrictions due to road closures due to the flooding Ohio and Licking Rivers.
There are also several road closures or partial closures due to land slides in Campbell County, Kentucky and in Hamilton County, Ohio.
Before the torrential rains, I was only to mow about half of my yard on 4/2/2025 due to the extreme sogginess. Today, this sogginess is even greater and the sogginess is so great that I may not be able to mow it until at least 2 weeks and the grass may become at least a foot tall by the middle of next week in these areas.
The ground is so wet that especially pine trees and certain species of deciduous trees already in leaf could easily uproot even with just moderate winds. The heavy rainfall has cause many trees to start having moderate size leaves which will make some species prone to freeze damage due to a freeze or hard frost in the forecast on April 8, 2025. Only one day of freeze is in the current 16 day GFS forecast which is on April 8, 2025 with a low of 29 degrees.
Notice that 2 homeowners have either hired pumping contractors or have pumps to pump out water from their flooded basements yesterday.
In order to repair part of my collapsed retaining wall and my fence, I am going to have to get one 20 ton truckload of
3" size channel lining rock and put it on a 2 to 1 slope to replace the collapsed part of the 2 foot high wall. I will have to get one truckload of topsoil to raise the last 5 feet of my yard by approximately 0 inches to 12 inches on a taper which had sunk by the fence. I will have to get a new wooden fence this summer. I am going to the work myself and it is going to cost me $4000.00 for the materials ($750.00 for the 12 CY load of topsoil, $750.00 for the 20 ton load of channel lining and $2500.00 for the fence materials.) Since I do not have flood insurance, my regular homeowner's policy will not cover this damage because this was due to supersaturated soil from a huge amount of rain this Spring so far.
Over 11 inches of rain (almost a foot) the last 30 days as of 4/6/2025. My yard now has been the wettest ever since I have move into the house approximately 15 years ago with a damaged retaining wall and fence. My next door neighbor's in-ground swimming pool at 747 Johns Hill Road had overflowed due to the torrential rains which is even making my backyard situation even worse. |

New England has mostly been spared from intense and extreme weather this week. Flooding from torrential rains, high damaging winds and tornadoes have weakened as the weather patterns moved eastward. Yet climate changes are bringing spring conditions earlier than "normal" (noting that changes have redefined the term normal).
Several early spring plants are in full bloom or close to it. My forsythia is sprouting its buds, my neighbor's is in full bloom. Andromeda flowers are beginning to open, daffodils are blooming and other little spring bulbs are sprouting bright blue flowers. Hayfields in locations north of here are turning green while closer to home, golf courses and lawns are also coming back to life.
My mason bee houses responded to one warm sunny day this week - a few early bees were breaking out and a few of those found the Andromeda flowers (it amazes me how they do that every year!).
It's clear - spring has sprung. |
