Precipitation was below normal with only half the normal amount. Lot of dust flying in the fields being prepared for planting. Precipitation for the year is more than two inches below normal so far.

Zanesville 6N (Tom Ruggles) - What a great month for blooms etc. It was much warmer than normal and drier and if I had known, I could have had my tomatoes in on the 10th. Even though there was much severe weather around the country, we had only one strong Tstorm here. There were 9 Tstorm days.
