10/2/2009 7:00 AM 1.13 M M M M First rainfall over 1" since July 25th! All day nice, steady rain, but very windy! No bad storms or flooding this time. It is still raining as of 0700 today. Temps are warmer today.

10/6/2009 7:00 AM 0.36 M M M M Woke up to a gentle rain again. Now it would be nice to see some sun again! Yes, we sure can use the rain here; everything is very dry. Almost time to bring in the guage for the winter. Temps are supposed to be below freezing by the weekend. It is that time of year here in good old SW Wisconsin. Wish it were late March, but we are ready for winter with a new huge snow thrower and a new Polaris 500 Ranger with plow. Now, perhaps,it will not snow as much as in the past two winters with El Nino present this year.

10/10/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Had the first hard freeze of the season; all of the flowers are mostly dead (the ones the deer haven't eaten). The leaves are falling at a frantic pace,but colors are not going to be pretty due to the dry weather. The drive down to the river is quite pretty, tho. Yesterday we drove down to P'ville to a Chemistry Reunion for Homecoming at UWP. That is always a beautiful trip this time of year. They have had so much more rain there than we have up here. Much of the corn that got hail damage in July is harvested already!
10/11/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Unseasonably cold this AM. Temp was 21o. There was white frost everywhere. No more flowers left. So much for global warming!
10/12/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M First snow of the season! A flake now and then, not enough to be seen on the ground. More expected this AM! It is much, much too early, although we do usually have one measurable snow fall in late October.

10/14/2009 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Time to bring in the rain guage for the winter. Night temps are in the 30's now.
12/4/2009 7:00 AM M 1.3 M 1.3 M The first measurable snowfall of the season! There have been flurries, but nothing that stayed on the ground. We did not have our usual October snow! I had to dig out the snow measuring device (don't know the tech term for a tube with numbers on it). Even the NWS called about 5:00PM to check on the snow. At that time there was only a trace from several small showers during the day. The bulk of the snow fell between that time and 10:00 PM. We should not have much snow this year due to the fact that we bought a new huge snow blower and a new Polaris Ranger with a big plow on the front! Perhaps we won't get a chance to use them this winter. Ha Ha Ha, this is Wisconsin afterall! There is some ice under the snow since the temps were above freezing for most of the day. (Edit, original report was 1.25", most likely snow depth was entered as precipitation amount).
12/5/2009 7:00 AM T 1.3 M M M A few flurries off and on during the day. Too cold to melt any snow on the ground. Temp was 17oF at 0700.
12/6/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bright blue sky and sunshine all day! Big snow storm due to hit tonight. May get to use the new "snow plow" and blower tomorrow. I hope they never come out of the garage even tho I love to X-country ski, I can live without the snow!

12/9/2009 7:20 AM 6.25 6.3 0.65 7.8 M Near bllizzard conditions here on the ridge. It is still snowing and the wind has picked up. We already are experiencing drifting of the freshly plowed road! So glad we have a new plow and a big snow blower which is making our task much easier! I was betting on no big snow storms this season. I guess I was wrong!
12/10/2009 7:00 AM 0.75 M M 7.5 M Snow stopped after 9:00. Hard to get an accurate measure due to high winds. Hard to measure snow on the ground because it is drifted or has been plowed or blown. I refuse to walk up to the field when it is -4oF this AM!
12/11/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow to report. Temps here were -1oF this AM. I am not going to measure snow depth today!
12/12/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow. Temps in the single didgits above 0.
12/13/2009 7:00 AM M T M M M Precip fell in the form of light rain or drizzle. The sidewalk had a slight coat of (I don't know) it was not glaze or ice, just a little slippery! The snow does not have a crust, so there wasn't much rain. The temps are around freezing (one thermometer registered 30, the other 32oF both remote digitals.) The dogs are happier to go out today. Their paws don't get so cold!
12/14/2009 7:00 AM M T M M M Light powdery coating on sidewalk; not enouth to measure. More is beginning to fall!
12/15/2009 7:00 AM 0.01 0.8 0.01 M M Very cold again today! Temps started falling from the 30's last PM to +5o this AM. Feels colder because it is damp, but sunny. Not supposed to rise above 12o or so today!
12/16/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow to report. Temps were below zero again! We seem to be in the snow, then cold cycle! It is supposed to warm up over the week end.
12/17/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow to report. Temps are above 0.
12/18/2009 7:00 AM T M M M M A small snow shower in the AM. Hardly enough to call a trace! Temps warmed up to nearly freezing!
12/19/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow to report. Appears that it could snow any minute. We have the driveway and parking lot cleared as good as it ever has been, so time for more snow! One of these days I'll have to measure total snow on the ground.
12/20/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
12/21/2009 7:00 AM M 0.5 M 7.5 M Fluffy, light snow started falling about 10:30 and lasted about 2 hours. Some more fell overnight for a grand total of 1/2". Finally got out to measure snow on the ground. Very dificult to find a spot that had not been blown, plowed or drifted. The undisturbed snow accumulated on the "old" truck, not driven for years, seemed to be the best spot on which to measure. I did several other places and the average is about what I reported from the truck.
12/22/2009 7:10 AM 0.20 2.5 0.20 M M Still snowing at 0710. The BIG storm is due tomorrow. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. Snow is beautiful (just as Nolan) but this is getting to be too much of a good thing. As we crossed the WI river into Boscobel last week I commented on just how beautiful the scene was: almost black water starting to freeze over, against the stark white of new fallen snow. Picture post card perfect!
12/23/2009 7:00 AM M 0.3 M M M Snow stopped mid morning.
12/24/2009 7:00 AM M 1.5 M M M Measured and reported 1.75" of snow at 10:00PM, however at that time it was raining! It is still raining this AM! Not supposed to rain in WI in Dec. There is a coating of ice on the cold surfaces such as the sidewalks and parking lot, but the warmer surfaces like the trees are barly coated. Cannot measure the rain without a rain guage, but I surmise it has been raining all night. I got very wet just taking the dogs out for a few minutes both at 2200 and at 0700 this AM. This is going to be just a mess when the temperatures fall to seasonal levels later. Now the temp is 34oF! Glad we don't have travel plans or expect family for Christmas.
12/25/2009 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I'll leaave this one for you, Zach! Since the temps were supposed to stay above freezing (it was 35o this AM), I took a chance and put out the large cylinder at 1800. This AM I measured 1.02" of rain. I'm pretty sure it rained steadily all night long as it did yesterday all day long! If I were to guess, I'd say we had over 2" of rain in that 24 hr period. Temps were at 34o at 2300 and really didn't change overnight. Quite unusual for Christmas Eve! Poor Santa, much of the snow has melted already! My poor canines (3pugs and a FRUG) hate to walk in the slush that has accumulated on the parking lot and driveway.
12/26/2009 7:00 AM M 0.9 M M M Almost an inch of light fluffy snow. We are back to normal winter weather with temps at 11oF and snow instead of rain. Thankfully most of the ice on the driveway and parking lot melted with the high temps (it was mid 30's for two days and a night). Bright blue sky today and cold temps.
12/28/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
12/29/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow, but temps at 4oF. Snow is expected tomorrow.
12/30/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another cold, clear day free of snowfall!
12/31/2009 7:00 AM 0.15 1.8 M M M It snowed most of the day and was still snowing at 2200! I measured an inch around noon. I think we have had one of our snowiest Decembers on record this year. Although we get Madison TV news and they got 14" from that big storm over Christmas while we got 8" give or take depending on where you were. Madison is still suffering from very bad streets because being the greenies they are, they use half the amt of salt the other cities use, and did not plow the main streets during the storm, so were left with a big mess of frozen snow which did not melt because the temps were below zero for a few days following the storm.
1/1/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow to report, just bitter cold. Temp today was 0F.
1/2/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bitter cold temps (-10F) this AM.
1/3/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Coldest day yet. Temp was -17 at 0700,
1/4/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No snow again, but temps still in the deep freeze at 3 above!
1/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another sunny, cold , bright day! Temps around 0 again.
1/7/2010 7:15 AM 0.15 2.8 M M M Snow started around 9PM and it is still snowing this AM. Temps are higher today, but expected to drop again over the weekend. Changed daily precip value of 2.75 to new snow (2.8) and used core (.15) for daily precip. CK
1/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.15 2.0 M M M
1/9/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow to report, but we are in another deep freeze. One of the thermometers (both remote) read -7F, the other -11F. The dogs were walking on 3 legs this AM!
1/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We have a heat wave this AM. Temp was +13o. Saw a beautiful cresent moon.
1/12/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another clear and cold day. Temp was 6oF. We are expecting a warm up tomorrow thru the week end.
1/18/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
1/19/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M Mixture of rain and some snow mixed in.
1/21/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M Mixture of rain and sleet/freezing rain.
1/22/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M There was a thick mist falling at 10PM. This AM everything is coated with a glaze of ice. Sure, the salt and sand were in the garage some 50 feet across the ice rink of a parking lot! It was more entertaining than the Circus! First, two pugs went scooting on their back sides down the icey path, then the birds out on the deck provided more entertainment. A jay landed on the railing and also went scooting sideways, almost falling off. The juncos were skating agross the deck, flapping their wings and pecking at the fallen seeds as they went. Even the woodpeckers and nuthatches had trougle hanging on to the feeders.We don't worry about power since we have a 15KV Generac and a smaller portable inverter (for the ham radios), but getting down off the hill is another matter. We do have 10 bags of salt and chains for the LUV, but sliding down the driveway is not a fun experience! We've doen it before.
1/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Temp was 35oF this AM. Snow is starting to disappear. More rain is forcast for today. Yesterday's ice has melted in most places.
1/24/2010 7:00 AM 1.05 M M M M Another warm (36oF),rainy, foggy morning. The amount of rain above was for a 12 1/2 hr period from 6:30PM to 7:00AM. I would guess that half of our snow cover has melted in the past two days with warm temps (middle 30's) and rain most of the days. Just when I was thinking of getting out my X-Cty skis!! Oh, well, winter certainly is not over. Afterall, this IS Wisconsin! The poor snow mobilers are suffering again.
1/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.10 T M M M Warm temps most of the day with rain in the AM. A couple of small snow showers in the PM. Woke up to a mixture of rain and a sleet-like snow which is supposed to continue most of the day. So much for a brief encounter with spring!
1/26/2010 7:00 AM M 0.5 M 6.5 M Back in the deep freeze again. After almost a week of warm temps, 10o feels cold. Bitter cold (below 0) is predicted for the end of the week. Can hardly wait!! I did get out to measure the amount of snow currently on the ground. My best estimate is between 6 and 7".
1/27/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Woke up to sunshine for the first time in about a week, however, the temp was +7 this AM. I expected colder!
1/28/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bright and sunny day with AM temp at +4oF. No new snow!
1/29/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 6.5 M Coldest morning so far. Temp was -5oF. All four dogs were walking on three legs!
1/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mostly sunny this AM with a temp of +2oF. No snow again. Some is expected next week, hopefully with a warming trend as well!
1/31/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Temp was 9oF this AM under a bright, blue, cloudless sky. Little precip here for the month of January.
2/1/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Ni precip again! Temps out of the deep freeze at +14oF this AM.
2/2/2010 7:00 AM 0.25 3.4 M M M Some snow at last! Warmest morning in a long time! Temp was +25o.
2/3/2010 7:00 AM M 0.1 M 9.5 2.20 It was 21oF this AM under a cloudy sky. Feels like it is going to snow again! I promise to go out and measure the snow moisture on the ground today! I have four canines who cannot wait for their treats (they're spoiled rotten), while I dig around in the snow!
2/4/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Madison TV warned of poor air quality due to no wind. It is overcast and the air feels very "heavy" and humid. The temp was warm at 23oF.
2/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow with a warm temp of 31oF at 7:45AM.
2/6/2010 7:00 AM M 0.1 M M M A few flurries most of the day. Temp of 25 today with a bright blue sky and sunshine. I heard from my husband who talked (Ham Radio) to a friend in New Jersey a few minutes ago as he does every weekend, that the snow has already started there. We are supposed to get some on Monday and Tuesday. I can hardly wait! Perhaps I will find my X-Cty skis!
2/7/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No snow to report.Temp was colder today at 22. Our resident ground hog didn't even bother to get up on Tues.! Yes, we do have one that lives in hole in the rocks along the driveway. According to the one in Sun Prairie (Jimmie) we will have an early spring. Our friend in NJ said some places in south Jersey got more than 15" of snow!
2/8/2010 7:00 AM M 1.0 0.10 M M
2/9/2010 7:00 AM M 3.4 0.30 M M Snowed most of the afternoon and night and still snowing this AM with a temp of 24oF. Sooo glad we bought that 29" 305cc duel stage snow blower last spring!! The Polaris Ranger is also a very useful machine. By now we would have spent almost $200 on snow plowing, and winter is not over yet!
2/10/2010 7:00 AM M 0.9 0.10 M M Almost and inch of new snow with a nasty north wind and a temp of 20oF.
2/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new snow but back in the deep freeze. Temp was +1oF at 0700. There was a beautiful hoarfrost on everything and with the rising sun, made the woods look like a fairyland. One has to appreciate beauty in nature even if it is freezing cold and the dogs are walking on 3 legs!
2/12/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Another bright, sunny day with a temp of 17oF.
2/13/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Another cold day at 5oF. The cardinals have started to sing in the mornings. Do they know something I don't?
2/14/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M The birds were all singing this AM in spite of the 4oF above 0 temp. Puppy was walking on three legs again! Spring cannot come too soon! Beautiful hoarfrost again today! I promise to go out and measure the snow pack today for sure.
2/15/2010 7:00 AM M 0.4 M 12.0 2.70 Woke up to 19oF temp with snow gently falling. Finally got out to measure the old snow on the ground. The first 9" were snow, but the last 3" or so were what a skier would call "corn snow", probably the result of all the rain we had earlier.
2/16/2010 7:00 AM M 0.4 M M M A sunny day with a temp of 24oF. Snowed off and on most of the day with little accumulation.
2/17/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Another cloudy but warm day at 29oF. Can spring be far behind??
2/18/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Another beautiful, sunny day with a temp of 18oF.
2/19/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Another frigid, clear morning with a temp of only 10oF.
2/20/2010 7:00 AM M 1.3 0.10 11.0 2.60 Warmer, temp of 29oF with snow falling. Which so I prefer?? Cold and clear or cloudy with snow!! Old snow on the ground was measured before the new snow fell overnight.
2/21/2010 7:00 AM M 0.3 M M M Snow stopped before noon. Temps got above freezing, so all melted, especially on the snow board which is on top of the fence. When I went out to measure later in the day there was a puddle there! Later I saw one of the many cats sitting on the board. I am reporting my best "guess" from what I could find on the ground that had not been disturbed or melted.
2/22/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M 11.5 2.80 No new snow with a temp of 29oF. I was excited to get an e-mail from Tim at NWS in LaCrosse who is tne new CoCoRahs person there stating that there will be a training sesson in March! I must go out an measure the old snow since the temp yesterday was 40o, there must have been quite a lot of melting of snow. Our parking lot is almose bare, of course we plow it so there isn't much snow there. Finally got out to measure snow on the ground. Still almost a foot remains in spite of several above freezing days.
2/23/2010 7:00 AM M 1.0 0.20 M M A beautiful, cold and sunny morning after an inch of fluffy snow fell overnight. Temp this AM was 22.
2/24/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Clear, cold, and windy morning with a temp of 14oF. With the wind, it feels much colder!!
2/25/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Winter hasn't bid "farewell" yet! It was clear and very cold (6o) this AM.
2/26/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Very cold again today at 7oF.

3/1/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M 8.5 2.70 Unseasonably warm at 32oF this AM. Supposed to remain warm most of the week. Warm weather has taken its toll on the snow pack!
3/2/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M We are having a beautiful few days of warm temps under bright blue skys. Temp this AM was cooler at 22oF.
3/3/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Another clear, cool (17oF), morning with the promise of temps in the 30's again today. Can spring be far behind??
3/4/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Data is later today due to a trip to the bakery (25 miles) for doughnuts. Temp was 32o at 9:00AM.

3/7/2010 7:00 AM M M M M M Started to rain around 9PM, but temps were predicted to be below freezing, thus no measurement! It is still raining, ever so slightly with a temp of 35oF. The snow pack starting to reduce significantly now! We took the chains off the Ranger and brougnt the Tacoma up the hill for the first time in months!
3/8/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M 6.5 2.40 A very foggy but warm morning at 36oF. Snow depth on the ground was measured at 2:30PM.
3/9/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M M M Another warm (37) and foggy morning. The snow pack is melting at a fast rate due to warmer overnight temps the past few days.
3/10/2010 7:00 AM 0.24 M M M M Raining and foggy this AM with a temp of 42. The snow is disappearing rapidly. I took the rain guage out yesterday morning and hoped it wouldn't freeze, and it didn't.
3/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M First thunder storm of the season after midnight last PM. Not much rain, though. Today is not foggy and much of the snow disappeared overnight. The temp this AM was a balmy 43oF. Temps of 50 are predicted for today.
3/12/2010 7:00 AM 0.57 M M M M Overnight temp was 40. Most of the snow is now gone.
3/13/2010 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Another warm day at 44, however it is very windy so feels much cooler! Saw the first robin of the season this AM. I also heard blue birds yesterday. Time to clean out their houses(we have 5 up in the field), but the tree swallows and wrens and once in a while a starling also like to nest in them. I did clean out three nests from one I was able to get to. There is still some snow in the field on the hill!
3/14/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M There was a strange orange ball in the eastern sky early this AM. So good to see it after several days of doom and gloom. Temp was 43.
3/15/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Another sunny, clear day with a temp of 40. All snow is melted except that beside the road and where it was put by man. My measuring spot is completely bare now!
3/16/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another unseasonably warm day (40) with fog again. Yesterday was very warm with highs in the 60's and a steady breeze. Too bad it can't last. Temps predicted to be in the 30's by the end of the week. I guess I lived in the big city by the lake for 30 years where there was no spring, just summer and winter so I appreciate a warm, spring-like day. I never put my winter coat away until June! When that northeast wind came off lake Michigan, the temp could drop 20 degrees in 10 minutes.
3/17/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another very foggy day with a temp of 37.
3/18/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another warm but windy day with a temp of 41. Colder temps and snow are on the way by the weekend.

3/20/2010 7:00 AM 0.01 T M M M What a way to greet spring! White patches on the ground and a temp of 31. Yet, normal AM temp for this date is 26! Bet the robins wish they had stayed south a little longer.

3/31/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A balmy 52 degrees this AM under mostly sunny skys. We could use some rain! Fire dangers are very high here because everything is so dry. The wind the past two days made it even worse!
4/1/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another warm day (51 degrees) under partly cloudy skys. We need rain!
4/2/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A balmy 61 degrees under a cloudy sky.
4/3/2010 7:00 AM 0.39 M M M M Finally some much needed rain! Fortunatly we escaped the worst of the storm which went to the north. We could have used more rain, tho! Husband was called out for spotting, but no severe weather here. He did take his new hand-held duel band radio with GPS for the first time. I got to keep the "old one" so I could hear the amateur spotters communications.
4/4/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Temp today more like spring in Wisconsin at 47 degrees! We could definitely use some more rain.
4/5/2010 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Temp was 43 at 0800 under sunny skys.

The huge,orange crescent moon before 5:00 was absolutly stunning as it rose in the eastern sky. Yes. the cat was meowing to go out about 4:45!!
4/10/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another sunny and warmer day at 45 degrees.

We had an event around 10 PM last evening: A huge meteor lit up the whole sky, followed a few seconds later by a very loud "boom". My husband was outside with the dogs - says he has never seen anything like it. I heard the boom and thought it was an explosion of some kind.

5/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.59 M M M M "BE careful what you wish for - it might come true!" I hope we don't have major flooding until Gays Mills gets moved out of the flood plain for good. The ground is already quite soggy, so if the rain continues as predicted..... It is still raining.
5/12/2010 7:00 AM 0.11 M M M M A chilly 45 degrees under overcast skys with a stiff breeze. We could use some sunshine! More rain predicted for tonight.

5/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warmer (62) and more humid today. Feels like summer is already here. Just an aside, when I was a kid some 6 decades ago, spring always came in April, and there was always snow on or before Thanksgiving. It seems like that trend is starting to come back this year!! I also remember the summer of 1963 (older son was born in Sept of that year) it was over 100 degrees for a week in early June.
5/31/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A much cooler (63 degrees) day under overcast skys. The promised rain never came. I thought I felt a few tiny sprinkles just now when I was out with the dogs! We could definitely use some more moisture here!!

We saw the WI river at Portage yesterday, and it was very high and fast-moving not too far from the bridge over I39. Hard to judge when you haven't seen it there for about a year. A trip into Boscobel should prove interesting since we see the river there at least once a week. The Kickapoo was well over the dam at Gays on Friday. Hope it stays in its banks for the sake of the Apple Fest there today in the park along the river bank!!
