Why Meridian Eastgate to Legg dries this way
Terrain & soilMeridian Eastgate to Legg (Lansing, MI) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. The terrain here is nearly flat (a 0.8° average grade at 876 ft) and lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up, while the SE-facing aspect soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier.
