Wow...it happened again! Dry air made its way into our area about mid-day and pushed out any chance of late day showers. The clouds that hung around all day, coupled with an east wind off the ocean, also depressed temperatures and we never got the showers or drizzle that was forecast. So, once again, conditions that favor a salamander migration just didn't pan out. As Yogi Berra once said "It's Deja Vu all over again". This weekend we are going to see if there are egg masses in the vernal pools and whether the salamanders might have snuck in on the rains that came late at night. Stay tuned, we will let everybody know what we find and what it might mean for the rest of the migration season ...
