Temperatures:
• Chart# 1  Daily Hi/Lo chart in progress 2002-2012
Last winter (2009-2010) started a month early, plus the lack of snow cover dropped ground temperatures rapidly. Then it ended early.
Last year (2011) has been the wettest and coldest spring, significant enough to show up on several charts:
• Chart# 8  Ground temperature at 1 and 3 feet depth (buried sensors with southern exposure)
I had hoped to graph when buried water lines froze up, but it seems either I buried them too close to the house, or the problem occurs more with the water hydrant design? Other neighbors simply need more insulation under their house to prevent freeze up. Either way, 3 feet is said to be the minimum depth to bury water lines.

Precipitation:
• Chart# 5p  Yearly Accumulated liquid precipitation including snow melt
2011 is the wettest spring on the chart, since I moved here. The local flooding and erosion damage see current photos, is likely the worst since 1998.May, the year of bad flooding that washed out the county road here.
NEW: Photo archive of 1998 flooding:
- Lambert Creek middle frame is at 1.8 mile marker with N. Lambert Lane (taken by Scott & Patti Furman)
- Highway 21 north 10 miles north of Republic, at the north end of Curlew Lake
- Highway 21 south 8-13 miles south of Republic (taken by Matt Lane)
Compare 2009 Late Snow with previous years, and then spring of 2010 was the opposite from previous year, very dry:
• Chart# 6  Yearly Accumulated Snowfall
• Chart# 7  Snowpack depth 2011.Dec early snow, then dry, makes for extremes on this chart from earliest deep snow to latest shallow snow.
