  March 2013 was considerably warmer than average in the Lake Almanor Basin, with low temperatures running about 1.5 degrees F above the norm and daytime highs averaging nearly 7 degrees above expected values.

    Precipitation levels were on the low side, continuing the trend experienced in the previous two months. Were it not for the extremely heavy precipitation in November and December, the area would be facing drought conditions by now.
