Condition Monitoring Star of the Week, Nov 10th - 16th - Richland County, SC

Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week was posted by observer with station number SC-RC-12 on November 15th.  We chose this report because the observer discussed how dry conditions were becoming in their area by noting dust while raking leaves and no significant grass growth.  These are great indicators of dry conditions. Dusty soil is an especially good example because it goes beyond stating that they soil is dry.  Rather it gives an example so we can have a better idea of how dry the soil has become. How does look and feel in your area?   Is it dusty? Does the ground look cracked?  It is squishy when you want on it?  These are all types of soil conditions you can record in your next condition monitoring report.  Thanks for setting a great example SC-RC-12!


After getting 1.25" at the beginning of November, we've now gone 13 straight days without rain. Liberated a lot of dust while raking leaves. Have had no significant grass growth for 4 weeks.
