Near Normal, but definitely leering now towards dry as we've just come through a very cold spell (clear, quiet weather with a high pressure system), and the past week's precipitation was overall, light. Basement is a little drier than last week.

One shrub, a lilac, that wasn't looking so good before the winter started, it now feeling worse and starting to sag. I might tie it up. Other than that, no other tree news to note.

Snow reveals tracks and we've got bunnies, squirrels, some dogs, and probably the red squirrel out and about.

Because of the cold spell, allergies are down but risk of nosebleeds is up. Winter dry skin has come to visit.
