Gauge and its wooden post were (and still are) covered with dozens to hundreds of 0.5-1.0", semi-translucent, very thin (~0.3mm diameter) "immature" (?) earthworms. The worms move fairly fast. They were on the gauge/post yesterday evening when only 0.75" of rain had fallen, and they linger this morning. Interesting.

Total gauge-measured ETo for Oct.: 0.56". Overall, October 2019 was cooler and wetter than normal, but also had many truly glorious sunny days and great sunsets. Our limited fall colors have lingered due to less wind storms than typical. First frost was Oct. 10th; and first hard frost/freeze (28°) was Oct. 30th.

12/1/2019 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M High/low: 39°/25°. Currently 34°, overcast, calm, no frost on car, but frost did not melt from half the yard, so still frosty, ground surface frozen, and birdbath is still frozen solid. November 2019 was notably drier than normal, with many sun-filled days, great sunsets, and only a couple of wind storms (none severe). Total Nov. rainfall: 1.98" (my 23-year average for November is 3.76", JG's 41-yr ave. is 4.10", and 30-yr ave by PRISM is 3.93"). Over the last decade, 4 out of 10 years were notably drier than normal; interesting trend?! November is typically our wettest month. Gauge-measured ETo for November 2019: 0.22". While a few seasonal streams have begun flowing, most streams on Lopez are still not flowing consistently due to our drier November. Wetland are also slow to hydrate and fill.

Winter 2019-20 Summary: mostly a mild winter, with intermittent cold snaps and annoying, incessant NE winds. Total snowfall: 11.1", with 6 days of measurable snow lingering on ground. Most snow fell in mid January 2020, with a light dusting in early February. Winter started off on a drier note, but ended up being wetter than average due to very wet Jan. & early Feb. Signs of early spring were visible even by Jan. 1st, but cold snaps kept us oscillating in and out of "winter".

June 2020 was seasonal, and included cooler episodes (locally referred to as "Junuary" or "June Gloom"), which is actually pretty typical for June, although in the last decade these cooler blips have been rarer. June 2020 had slightly above average precipitation: cumulative rainfall: 1.40" (1.06" is my 23-yr average; 1.23" is 30-yr ave by PRISM for this location). Total cumulative gauge-measured ET: 1.68". Nine days had highs reaching into the 70s (pleasant), while eight days had highs not exceeding the 50s (coolish). Fourteen nights with lows in the 40s, otherwise lows in the 50s. Southern half of Lopez Island received more rain than my northern gauge. Lawn is still about 70-75% green, but brown, dormant spots are quickly settling in for the summer season. Wildfire risk is still low for the time being.

For August 2020, temps were somewhat cooler than average (but mainly pleasant), and rainfall a little drier than average. Total cumulative rainfall: 0.63" (my 23-yr August ave. is 0.81", 30-yr ave. by PRISM for this location is 0.89", and JG's 42-yr ave. is 0.82"). Cumulative ET for August 2020: 2.24".

Wildfire risk remains "Moderate". Signs of drought are patchy and not as severe as in past years, but when digging in soils, they are still very dry.
