Mild to start the week before turning colder with a storm system slowly moving through starting mid week and exiting on Saturday. 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.
