Also, I am surrounded by dense woods so I have a natural "heat shield" back in here. 1/4 mile down the road from me it gets a lot colder in the open space.

10/23/2010 12:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M My low temperature last night was 33°, so I still haven't had my first freeze of the season.

10/25/2010 12:00 AM 0.43 M M M M Electronic gauge also read 0.43", with a maximum rainfall rate of 0.45" per hour.
10/26/2010 12:00 AM 0.43 M M M M Electronic gauge read 0.40". It's still raining here and the Barometric Pressure reads 28.90 inches and still falling! I hope I will be able to report tomorrow night considering the High Wind Warning in effect for later in the day. The highest wind I've ever recorded since I put up my weather station at this location 18-years ago has been 52 MPH. Higher gusts are likely tomorrow. Fortunately all my trees have shed their leaves so that will help minimize tree damage; but it will increase resistance on my 65' tower where the wind sensor is. Hopefully I won't lose power either. Tomorrow's report will be interesting if I'm able to submit it....
10/27/2010 12:00 AM 0.66 M M M M Electronic gauge also read 0.66". The peak wind gust so far has been 53 MPH from the WSW, that happened around 9 pm. The Barometric Pressure dropped to the lowest I can ever remember it being at 28.52" and I'm still about 100 miles from the center of the low! I've lost one tree so far and when it broke off it fell on my 80-Meter dipole antenna and brought it to the ground. My other antennas and 65' tower are still standing undamaged. Our power only went off for a few seconds around 5 pm. If we end up getting snow tomorrow, and it doesn't melt completely, I'll have to wait to submit my report as a multi-day report so you get an accurate liquid measurement.
10/28/2010 12:00 AM 0.09 M M M M Electronic gauge read 0.07". Maximum wind gust was 46 MPH from the WSW, probably during the early morning hours. Winds have been declining gradually all day long. I lost a total of two trees. One big tree that fell against a smaller tree and took it out. The smaller tree took down my 80-Meter dipole antenna when it went. I have some work to do this weekend to put it back up again. Some wet snow fell around 6:45 am but didn't last very long. Still have not had a freezing temperature back here in the woods.
10/29/2010 12:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I've finally had my first hard freeze! The temperature dropped below 32° by 10 pm and there was frost on the ground when I took my reading at Midnight. It is now 29° as I write this.
10/30/2010 12:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Well I got my 80-Meter dipole antenna fixed and back up and running today. Then I noticed that the mast on my 65' tower is bent from Tuesday's Cyclone. Next week I'll be replacing the mast.
10/31/2010 12:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M This will be my last observation of the season. The rain gauge has been stowed away for the winter as I cannot do accurate snowfall readings from my location. I will resume rainfall observations next April. See you in 2011!
4/9/2011 12:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I'm baaaaack! The snow finally has melted enough out of my yard to get the rain gauge set back up. Looking forward to another season of submitting rainfall reports. Lightning Tracker is also up and running, so look for that data in my notes. Well I'm off to bed, got to get up early to attend the Minnesota Skywarn Workshop in the morning.
4/10/2011 12:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Electronic gauge recorded 0.03". Light rain started falling about 11:40 pm, preceded by lightning and thunder. StormTracker was recording about 65 strikes per minute, mostly down towards the Twin Cities.
