There was a light sprinkle aroun 7pm. At 8pm it was 74 degrees! Wow! I looked out the window at 10:40 an noticed that it had been raining, but I'm not sure when it began. Sometime after 9pm. It rained most of the night. The ground is soppy with standing water in areas. Due to there only being a few cold mornings thus far, the plants have lasted longer than usual. The flower gardens are usually brown and dead by now. Instead they have changed color with the leaves on the trees. And I'm still picking tomatoes.

11/20/2009 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Note that yesterday's reading was taken rather late and it did actually rain on the morning of the 19th, but it was recorded on the 19th, not the 20th. Does that make sense? I didn't notice it rain at all after the above time, so I was surprised to see water in the gauge. I wonder if it was just from the dense fog we had all night.

12/16/2009 7:00 AM T M M M M Although there was water in the guge, I think it came from yesterdays fob, b/c I really don't think it rained at all. It did get into the 60's yesterday, but was overcast all day with fog in the morning. This morning, it was 40 and partly cloudy.

12/26/2009 7:00 AM 1.55 M M M M Wow! That was a lot of rain really fast! It was raining pretty hard, so I never went out to get an accurate measurement, but from the safety of my house I could see that by 10:00 am the guage was around .5" and it was done raining by 2pm. So much rain! There are paths in my yard formed by the rushing water. There is a drainage ditch that runs behind our house and ends two houses down. The water looks like a creek with the volume and speed at which it is moving toward the drain. I wish it were snow instead...

12/31/2009 7:30 AM 0.43 M M M M Was raining by 9:30 pm. As soon as I emptied the rain guage, I was unsure of the amount I had just measured. I guess I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing. I "said" .43, but I'm not sure that it wasn't .33. I didn't walk out and think, "that's a lot of rain" like I might have had it been .43" when I first spotted the guage. So, I'm not sure which of the two it is.

1/24/2010 7:20 AM 0.04 M M M M About 40 degrees and rainy with low clouds. The rain got me out of bed this morning so that I could take my 7 am reading. I woke up at 7:05, didn' hear rain and rolled over to try to sleep in. Woke up 10 minutes later hearing the rain. My point being, most of this .04" really should fall into tomorrow's reading based on the time (after 7 am), but I do think some rain fell before 7 am.
1/25/2010 7:00 AM 1.49 M M M M Windy and threatening rain all day. But by 2:20 pm there was only .07" (from first thing in the morning - see yeaterday's report). Rain started around 6:30 pm.

The rain and wind picked up throughout the night, but I never heard lightening. It has stopped raining at least by 5:15 am. 1.49" overall. We really don't need this rain now. The ground is still soggy! Give me this rain during the summer months! I could hear the "peepers" (frogs) out this morning. Boy, they will be disappointed that the colder weather is coming back. 50 degrees and still windy and overcast this morning at time of reading.
1/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.54 1.0 M 1.0 M Friday was a pretty nice day. Areas only a few miles to the North of us were reporting snow and making us jealous! I was akowen at 3:30am to the sound of sleet hiting the windows. Yuck. This continued through the observation time. At observation, it was 30 degrees. There was .04" of water in the rain guage. The reamining .5" that I measured had collected in the funnel of the guage as sleet. I allowed this to melt in order to measure it. There was about 1" of icey snow on the picnic table.
1/31/2010 7:00 AM 0.16 0.4 0.16 1.0 M Sleet continued to fall yesterday from the time of reading until at least 1pm. It was very light, however. A dusting of snow fell from 7:30 pm - about 8:15 pm. The temp started off at 30 degrees yesterday at 7:00 am and continued to drop throughout the morning and then held steady at 24 degrees until nightfall. This morning the temp was 16 degrees. The pond was frozen solid. You can walk on the snow/ice without breaking through the crusty top layer. The ppt collected was in the outer cylinder with no inner cylinder. I then allowed the sleet to melt and poured it into the inner cylinder to measure it.
2/1/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M 19 degrees and clear. No school due to icy roads in some locations. Snow in yard began to melt yesterday.

By 11:00 am the snow was "really" coming down, but it was little, hard balls that bounced off my car. Almost like hail. Shortly after the snow became wet. The snow did not turn into bigger, flufflier flakes until early afternoon. But still, no accumulation. By mid- afternoon the snow was back to smaller, wet flakes. At 6:00 pm it finally began to accumulate. Mind you, there was not a break in the snow fall all day. By 11:30 pm it was still snowing but it had let up a fair amount. I went out to make the base of a snow man for my kids. There was about 1.5" of snow on the ground (I did not measure it). It was super wet - the snowball wasn't big, but it was very heavy. The next time I looked out the window at 3:30 am it had stopped snowing. I should have measured the snow at that point, but I was preoccupied with heading out of town. I had someone else measure the gauge for me. She said she let all of the snow melt that had collected in/on the gauge and it added up to .41" of water.
3/4/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 0.00 Snow is all melted - except for my snowball! There is algae growing at a wet spot where my landscaping mulch meets the grass. It's been such a wet winter for us.
