At 5:00 PM 0.41", and at 10:45 PM 0.82". At 10:45 PM precip turned to icy sleet as temp dropped below 37°. Remainder of 0.91" total fell overnight, and at 7:00 AM there was a ¾" plug of ice crystals in gauge funnel; none on ground. This location in 5 miles from Atlantic. Four miles further inland 1-3" snow reported, and up to 5" north toward Charleston,SC. I believe heat release from very heavy precip delayed eastward progression of rain-snow boundary.

The water utility on our Island has rejiggered the water rates to make base rate a little cheaper, but regular lawn watering more expensive, so it's costing me. However, the is no general drought, because there are heavy showers daily in all quadrants. We are in a sea breeze zone, which neither gets the showers over the ocean, nor heat buildups inland.
