Condition Monitoring Star of the Week, December 1st-7th, Craven County, NC

 Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week was posted by observer with station number NC-CN-31 on December 3rd. We chose this report because of the variety of detail included.  The observer notes temperature, leaf fall, river levels and several of other impacts.  This gives us a vivid picture of what conditions are like in their area.  We especially appreciate the observers attention to impacts at their location and around the community.  We encourage all observers to look for ways that weather affects their neighborhoods and communities, as well as their yards. Thanks for setting a great example, NC-CN-31!

wkly rpt: ( a day or so late ) Thanksgiving week was filled with rain, then cold, then warmed up. Seems as if those farmers who did not harvest their crops of soy - may not harvest them. Bradford & Cleveland Pear trees still have their leaves, but they are beginning to fall during the rains and windy weather. River levels remain normal - neither high nor low. We did not have any travel hazards here during Thanksgiving Wednesday or Thursday, although there was a brief couple hour period of heavy rain. Local holiday events such as parades and fairs have not seem to have been effected by weather this past week. When the weather is warm, our honeybees are foraging on mahonnia and eleagnus.
