1/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.5 M 19 degrees and warming. My, "What a difference a day makes". Should get some nice melt today.
1/15/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M 25 degrees. Beautiful day yesterday. A nice blanket of snow still on the ground doing wonders for our grass and wheat.
1/16/2011 7:00 AM 0.02 0.1 M 1.5 M 16 degrees. Nice dusting sometime last night.
1/17/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.5 M 31 degrees. With predicted high of 40, a pretty good breeze, and a nice warm rain, we just might see most of the snow disappear. Then, we can start all over.
1/18/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M 19 degrees. Really feels wet out. Not much snow left.
1/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M Snow depth is estimated as I came down with the flu early this morning. Visual remaining snow depth as I "hustled" past the door on the way to the bathroom is approximately .5". There was no new moisture.
1/20/2011 6:30 AM 0.48 3.0 M 3.5 M 10 degrees at report time. Nice snow once more. Good moisture as there was very little drifting even though the wind did come up late afternoon.
1/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M 21 degrees. Looks like the beginning of a great day.
1/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.5 M 13 degrees.
1/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 T M 1.0 M 9 degrees. North wind at 7 mph. Trace of snow; more like snow pellets during the night.
1/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M 13 degrees. Very little wind, a beautiful civil twilight in store, and with a promise of above freezing temperatures, things couldn't be better. Days are getting almost 2 minutes longer as well. And to top it all off, the Space Station flew right over my front door in all her splendor as scheduled at 6:47. Yippee. Go USA!!!
1/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M 15 degrees. No wind. Heavy frost. Still a blanket of snow on the ground putting a halt to my golf game. A fantastic sunrise leading into one beautiful day.
1/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M 27 degrees and calm. Still have that blanket of snow but starting to get patchy under the trees. BTW, enjoyed your post yesterday, Sterling 9.6 SW. How far south of the golf course are you?
1/27/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M 29 degrees and rising!! Westerly wind around 5 mph. Should lose remaining snow cover today and tomorrow if predictions hold.
1/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M 29 degrees and rising. An absolutely beautiful morning. Clear, calm and bright. Should lose the rest of the snow patches today. Yippee.
1/29/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M 26 degrees after a high of 60 yesterday. Which was an absolutely gorgeous day, I might add. Snow all gone and just waiting around for the next one.
1/30/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 18 degrees. Clear with 10 mph wind out of the NE. Sounds like we will have some reporting to do on Monday and Tuesday. UGH. Need the moisture but the snow and the cold are tough on all of us professional weather watchers that hate getting out in that stuff.
1/31/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 M 0.0 M 21 degrees. Wind at 5 mph out of ENE. Little glaze of slick stuff on the deck this morning. Can feel moisture in the air. Get ready, boys, I think she is moving in.
2/1/2011 7:00 AM 0.09 M M 1.0 M 1 degree at report time. Snow (what there was of it) began at 10:00 yesterday morning. Appears to me to be blowing snow. What little there is, however, is wet. As most have mentioned, it is very diffult to measure and my figure is more of a calculated guess than anything. Radar indicates to me that in this area, we are about through with snow. Bitterly cold winds for the next two days. Pity the livestock and pets.
2/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.12 1.0 M 2.0 M -2 degrees with 15 mph NW wind. Clear and bright and I am totally sick and tired of this! Once again, a calculated guess as to new snowfall. After several attempts I put it at 1.0 inch. Who knows? The stuff was all over the place yesterday.
2/3/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M -11 for the low. Clear with light SW wind. Absolutely ridiculous.
2/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M 6 degrees. I am tired of soup. Hopefully, Arkansas City 3.1, it will get the guineas back out of the shelterbelt.
2/5/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M
2/6/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 M T M Sprinkles around noon.
2/7/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 M T M 22 degrees with a 20 mph north wind. Really puts the bite on these old bones. Snow pellets very briefly (and very few) around noon yesterday. Still a few patches of old snow. Lousy weather report for most of the week. Come on spring.
2/8/2011 7:00 AM 0.19 1.5 M 1.5 M 3 degrees with NE wind of 15-25 mph. Light snow and Heavy blowing. Ski slopes call it powder; I call it something else. My snow depth reading is a best guess of several attempts. My last measurement was a "I could care less" attempt so take it for what it's worth. Nearest tenth? I think not.
2/9/2011 7:00 AM 0.44 3.5 M 5.0 M 5 degrees with 5 mph wind out of WNW. These snow estimates are just that. Almost bare ground here, 12" of snow there, 3 inches over there.
2/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M -8 degrees. But warmer than many places south of me. Hopefully, our last blast. At least the ISS was in great form this morning. Makes you forget the cold for a few minutes. Go USA.
2/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.5 M 16 degrees. Gentle westerly breeze makes it feel colder. But, one heck of a lot better than yesterday morning! Weather report sounds like I might lose all my snow this weekend. Yippee!
2/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M 29 degrees with light SW breeze. Supposed to get into the 40's. Always marvel at the sudden turn of events with our weather.
2/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M 28 degrees and on the way up. Wind is calm. Looks like a beautiful day in store with temps supposedly heading into the mid to upper 50's. I'm loving it!!!

2/17/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M 59 degrees warmer at report time than it was at the same time one week ago. Let's not kid ourselves. Some nasty weather still out there.

2/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 14 degrees, wind NW at 20, cold and clear. Who knows what the wind chill is. Need I say more?
2/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 13 degrees and all is well. Possibility of snow on Thursday and Friday. We can use more moisture that's for sure. ISS visible at 7:00 tomorrow night. Yippee. Go USA

2/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.42 2.0 M 2.0 M Good moisture in this snow as it gauged out well and as there was not a great deal of drifting in spite of the strong winds. 13 degrees at report time.
2/26/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 M 1.5 M Had intermittent mix of very, very light mist, snow flakes, pellets, etc. to warrant a T of new moisture. Could feel it more than see it.
2/27/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 M 1.0 M Heavy fog and lots of moisture in the air. A few pellets during the day yesterday. Maybe we will start turning the corner. 33 degrees at report time. Snow melt during the night.
