The Governor initiated the Drought Task Force today (see attached letter). Our County is listed in D2 Severe Drought. Our trees are budding out 3 weeks ahead of normal. Information provided via the CO Water Conditions Monitoring meeting hosted by Colorado Water Conservation Board.

Wow! Thank you for sharing this information and the data from the charts. Have you shared this with the LCSO and OEM? Although, I presume they must have received the Governor's communication about the Drought Task Force and the current conditions. Thanks, Heidi.
