4/7/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M A few light sprinkles around 9:50 p.m. last night and again about 2:45, but sadly not enough to measure. First precip of any sort for more than 60 days! Smells like rain still, and a few drops fell just after my measurement at 7:05 a.m. so perhaps today????

7/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Awakened by rain falling around 3:30 this morning. Lasted only a short time. Barely 0.3 inch in rain gauge. But at least that makes two days in a row with precip. Cool, cloudy this morning at dawn.
7/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.07 M M M M Some rain starting about 6:50 last evening. 0.07 inch in gauge this morning. Third day in a row with some precip.
