Condition Monitoring Report
Station Number: OH-HM-24
Station Name: Cheviot 3.4 W
Report Date: 1/12/2024
Submitted: 1/12/2024 8:53 PM
Scale Bar: Mildly Wet
Description:
What a difference a week makes! 0.87 inches of rain in the past 24 hours and 2.81 inches of rain in the past week. While this certainly does not make up for our entire 6 month deficit, it goes a long way. Soils are saturated although the entire soil profile and water table may need a bit more time. Creeks, streams and waterways have risen albeit not to flood. There is standing water in swales and lawns are squishy wet.

Meteorological Versus Astronomical Seasons
You may have noticed that Arbor Doctor, meteorologists and climatologists define seasons differently from “regular” or astronomical spring, summer, fall, and winter. So, why do meteorological and astronomical seasons begin and end at different times? Climatologically, the period July 14-21, the mid-point of meteorological summer, is the hottest week of the year and the period January 14-21, the mid-point of meteorological winter, is the coldest week of the year over much of the continental US including the Ohio valley.
–
Nearly half the country has had its coldest day by the first day of calendar winter. That is why meteorological winter makes the most sense.
