In your weather summary I saw you said "raining, we need it". Why? Ryan Period 1 Springs School

Hello Ryan,The journal entry you are asking about was written when I was still at home in Boulder, CO. Boulder is often very dry and our spring was very warm and dry this year.
Any rain we get in Boulder helps provide moisture for the plants and potentially decreases wildfire danger in the summer month. We also had a lower snow year this year, so any extra water via rain will help.
