Could be either a native or exotic, but if exotic lepidiums are not major environmental weeds. To ID a pepper cress we need a photo of the flower (good enough to count the number of stamens) and of the fruit (good enough to gauge its overall shape and size and whether it is notched). Hope your getting the rain down your way.

Hi Micheals, very wet, almost too wet. 6mm of snow was exciting a few days ago. much more litter on the ground now which is good. I am hopeful for an amazing spring.
I will watch out for flowers and see if I can get a better shot of the fruit.
