Lubbock received 1.13 inches of rain during March, a bit more than the
average March total of 0.76 inches, putting us at 1.17 inches for the
year, still well below the average year-to-date total of 1.97 inches
but looking up from February. Weather conditions continued mild and
the month was a now typical March of early waterfowl departures and
early spring arrivals.
