Condition Monitoring Star of the Week, January 19th - 25th - Charleston County, SC

Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week was posted on January 19th by observer with station number SC-CR-88 in Charleston County, SC.  In their report they discuss how wet soil conditions have delayed the scheduling of prescribe fires. We appreciate this observation because we rarely receive information on fire processes through condition monitoring reports.  Also, we like how the observer uses their knowledge and experience as a gardener and volunteer to describe weather and weather impacts in their area.  What are your expertise?  Are there environments in your community you are familiar with?  How can you harness your knowledge and skills to enhance your reports?  Great job SC-CR-88!  We hope to see more reports like this.

The soil everywhere, in the vegetable garden and elsewhere, continues to be saturated. This is the traditional prescribed fire season but the places I volunteer have not been able to schedule any burns yet because the fuel is too wet.
