So, how far are y'all behind on snow totals and such? Cannot imagine you getting so much rain instead of your normal snow...
I think we are at record lows for snow....

But, we have gotten a bunch of precipitation... mostly rain, but at times slushy snow that melts right off.

So.... I am not sure how this will impact the water table/well.

Still lots of moisture... I am unsure how much of it is running off verses seeping in... but with minimal snow coverage, I would think that a decent amount is getting in the ground.... but really... I know nothing.

My parking lot, on the north side of my house... it still mostly a huge ice sheet... so clearly the ground is still cold.

And... since there will be zero snow melt in May... :idunno no idea how everything will be impacted.

Ok... the answer above was bugging me so much that I tried to look it up and figure it out.

So... no idea on the water table... but it turns out that the Alaska firefighters are saying that the lack of snow so early in the season will result in way higher fire danger.
