Overcast and too warm for frost, though I didn't check the thermometer. Saw a couple of bald eagles fly the river and fields, so the steelhead run is probably starting. |

Afternoon snow flurry hit yesterday afternoon. It didn't accumulate and melted off within the hour.
My husband dug out an area for landscaping, got to 6' below ground surface in one place, uncovering dust and more dust. No water anywhere in the soil column. |

40*F and the rain's still coming! Happy, happy! We recently dug to 6 ft on a project, found rocks & dust the whole way. Surface is now soggy, water is puddling in the fields and running down a ranch road. River's starting to rise & it's turbid, running green from runoff from exposed John Day formation clays. |

Rain is continuing. River is high and turbid, running brown, so it's not only local source material. (Green beds are local.) Potential flooding of highway ~70 miles downstream as of yesterday; could become more local if this keeps up. |

Maple tree is shedding its spent flowers. Forsythia is in full bloom. Hybrid willows (Austrees) are leafed out. Range parsley is in bloom. Crocuses have come & gone, daffodils are getting tall. Ants have opened their nest in the driveway. Noxious & obnoxious plants are already ahead of me. River isn't nearly as turbid and levels are starting to drop. |

71*F, mostly clear sky. Cloud cover yesterday increased the humidity but didn't produce either rain (bummer) or lightning (whew). |

Brief rain as part of the last forecasted lightning storm. Seven wildfires within a 50-mile radius, one of which is defying any containment, so a break from the storms ought to help the firefighters. |

The river is very low. 66*F at 6:30a.
The normal summer drought came 3-4 weeks early this year after a super grass-growing June. The wildfires are blazing. At one point there were 7 fires within a 50-mile radius of this place. |

Most of the precip came in 2 15-minute rains associated with lightning storms. No new wildfires but firefighters had to be pulled back to safety because of lightning & erratic winds. 70*F at 5:30a. |

Hard to believe that there was only 0.08" of precip. The storm, lightning & rain, hit at 9p. I couldn't count to 4 between lightning flashes, which were coming from both the east & west for more than a half hour. Woke to find water puddled on the deck, so there was more rain in the night. Take 0.08 as a minimum, for sure. |

Significant precip in the area but it stopped 3 miles south of my rain guage. SW of here there was enough rain for some minor flash flooding across Hwy 26 and hail accumulated on the Ochoco summit. |

Clear sky as dark fell last night, then the lightning started and the rain hit. Knocked me off the internet (satellite). Woke to clear sky this morning, like nothing ever happened, but the yard is wet, laundry blown off the line & the gauge doesn't lie. |
