Weather

Posted by admin on May 28, 2014

Last week we had quite the wild weather! The thunder and lightening storm on Thursday afternoon was pretty intense. The thunder was so close and so loud it sounded like it was sitting right on top of Pine Cove. The hail was a surprise as well. I actually saw the snow plow go by my house! You just never know what is going to happen here on the mountain. While all moisture is welcome, that was a bit much for the end of May.

This week the forecast is for something much calmer luckily.

As we move into the summer season, please be mindful of the extreme fire danger that is ever present. Over Memorial Day weekend, one of our board members spotted 3 different visitors to the hill, flicking cigarette butts out of their car windows. It will only take one to light a forest fire. Please remind all your guests who visit you here on the hill, to be mindful as well. And be sure to do your fire abatement around your mountain home and property. It is important that everyone comply with this because if you don’t, you can put not only yourself in danger, but your neighbors and the whole hill as well.

Wood Chips and Compost

Posted by admin on May 5, 2014

There must have been a lot of yard work and gardening going on over the weekend because when we arrived this morning, both piles were depleted! This means Pine Covers are amending their soil so it retains moisture better and putting down wood chips to keep the moisture in the soil. We are working on getting more compost as well as wood chips, so if you didn’t get yours, do not worry. I will post here on the blog as soon as our supplies are replenished. We are so happy to be able to provide these items to Pine Cove Water District customers free of charge.

Remember, if you need a large amount of either item to check in with us at the office first, as we want to be sure there is enough for everyone. Now is the time to be outside cleaning up your yard, doing your fire abatement, amending your soil and adding a layer of woodchips to keep moisture in. These are all very necessary chores that need done, so get them done now so you can enjoy the summer with peace of mind knowing you are doing all you can to keep your mountain home safe and that you are helping to conserve water.
