Spring is near!

Spring time is near! The storms have passed, and we are looking at a nice week ahead.  Back to sunshine and 50 degree daytime temps.  While we did get some nice rain this week, the storm did not produce a lot of snow as some may have hoped it would.  We are now in March, and spring is approaching. While there is always a chance we could still get some snow, the possibility seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer as each day passes by.

Although, precipitation this winter has significantly raised the moisture level of dry and dead fuels throughout California, according to Cal Fire’s Southern Operations Unit. Live fuel moisture also has begun to rise. At the lower elevations, grass will begin to sprout soon and continue into June. This is great news, however, we never fully know if Mother Nature will provide us with adequate moisture needed, so it is better to be safe than sorry.  It is always a good practice to conserve water regardless of the situation.  We can never go wrong by using less water any time of the year!
