1/7/2010 7:00 AM T T M 1.0 M Only just a trace of snow, when melted it barely wet the bottom of the gauge, but oh, the wind chill! At 7:45 a.m., it was 4 F, feels like MINUS 17 F. That's the coldest wind chill I can recall in many, many years. Tomorrow is supposed to be worse.

2/4/2010 7:00 AM T T M 0.5 M It had just started snowing when I checked the gauge. Sort of snow/drizzle/sleet, very light, melting as soon as it hits most surfaces. Messy out there.
2/5/2010 7:00 AM T 0.0 M 0.0 M While we did have some sleet yesterday that gathered on surfaces, we also had enough warmth to melt. We've got major puddles all over and the snow is mostly gone except for some under the trees and along fence rows. There's more coming, though.
2/6/2010 7:00 AM T 0.0 M 0.0 M Again, just misty drizzle yesterday and nothing last night. Not that we're complaining. They're forecasting a significant amount of snow tomorrow night, so we'll wait and see!

It won't let me record "zero" so I'm putting 0.49 which is what I got from the core, even though the gauge actually collected zero because of a "wardrobe malfunction."

Of course, a drop wasn't nearly enough to help the cracked, dry ground out here, but there's a 50% chance today and tomorrow, so we'll keep our fingers crossed!
