Rains are finished

Not that we saw much rain, but, they are now finished.

For the next 5 days the National Weather Service is saying we will have clear, windy, dry.
We certainly haven't gotten to the clear part yet.

The snows are receding everywhere.
Bare ground is poking through near tree bases, storm debris, stone walls, and anywhere that was aggressively shoveled over the past 5 weeks of snow, ice, and cold.
It is a taste of spring.

Presently conditions at the Lodge at Cascading Waters are:
30.6 degrees F and steady;
29.62" of mercury and rising (indicating higher pressure and clearer weather);
52% humidity and falling (much drier than yesterday's dawn 98%!);
The USFS Fire Danger Class is LOW;
The skies are, overcast, there is wind with occasional gusts;
but overall it is bright out there.

Hikers have already been going through.

The brook is running with snow melt and the light rains from yesterday, so the stream flow is 6.8".
