Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week was posted on January 26th by observer with station number GA-MI-5 in McIntosh County, GA. This observer is our only participant in Georgia and has consistently submitted condition monitoring and precipitation reports throughout the course of our study. We'd like to shine a spotlight on this report because its keen observations shows that Spring is not far away. It encourages us to be aware of changes happening right now. As our climate warms, we may see the signs of spring earlier in the year. Your observations can help us document if, when and how these changes might occur. Thanks for the inspiration GA-MI-5! Keep it coming!
This is for the week of 19-25 January 2015. We
had a total of 1.90 inches of rain and two trace days for the week.
The 1.90 inches fell on the 23-24. The week felt like Spring. We had
warm days and mild nights. What topped the week off is that I saw my
first Robins on the 21st. So maybe Spring is coming. We will see. The
other Spring like signs is the Hydrangeas leaf buds are green and the
Goji Berry planted in a pot has a few new leaves. The Day-lilies that I
reported on earlier are at least 6 inches tall and more each day are
sprouting their green leaves. I noticed while driving around the county
that some of the ditches are very full and the one property that looks
like a large pond after a lot of rain looked like a large pond again
after drying out prior to the rain on the 23-24. The yard in the poorer
draining spots is very squishy. The Resurrection Ferns are thriving is
all this rain.
