Very little precipitation in the past month has continued the dry conditions. With few exceptions most outdoor growing has seasonally ended so minor impacts on agriculture. Brush fire danger high and restrictions in place statewide. Most plants are dormant at this point but wildlife needing water cannot utilize brooks and ponds that are now severely reduced.Low energy use due to warmer than normal temperatures. Major tourism over until ski season which may be impacted by reduced water levels for making snow. As mentioned previously small streams and ponds reduced or dry and wells lowering.
