10/11/2011 8:00 AM 1.62 M M M M I was overjoyed this morning to find 1.62" of rain in the gauge. We were almost 22" below our average of 52.03" for the 2011 water year, so this is a very welcome start to 2012. It was still misting rain at 8am when I checked the gauge.
10/12/2011 8:00 AM 0.11 M M M M It's a beautiful foggy, misty Fall morning here in Sapps Still, GA. (Link to Wikipedia article by this CoCoRaHS observer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapps_Still,_Georgia )

2/17/2012 8:00 AM 0.10 M M M M This is the third time in four days that the rain has measured .10", but I am reading the bottom of the meniscus to the closest hundredth. On another note, today is the first of four days for the Great Backyard Bird Count.

3/15/2012 8:00 AM T M M M M Every rain event has an edge, I suppose, so that may explain why I got damp from a shower yesterday evening when I fed the dogs and pigs, but the rain gauge on the far side of our 1.44 acres was almost dry, this morning.

3/17/2012 8:00 AM 1.56 M M M M Happy St Patrick's Day! What a weather day, yesterday. The times I've submitted for 'Duration Information' are approximate as I was trapped in the shed with our pet pigs and dog after removing the funnel and inner cylinder from the rain gauge. There was .56" of rain in the gauge, at that time, so the remaining 1" was accumulated hail and rain which fell during the night until I checked the gauge, this morning. The sky was partly cloudy when I checked the gauge. The hail ranged from 3/8" to 1". I used a measuring tape in the shed, as the hail was falling. The shed has a 16' entrance, so I was able to range along it looking for representative hail samples. I took multiple measurements. The most common size was 1/2". All measurements are approximate within 1/16", using the best technique I could under the conditions. There was some minor leaf shredding, some leaf knockdown under our chestnut oak and in my rose garden, but my squash plants survived intact; their leaves are about 4" in diameter, so far. Initially, US Hwy 441, which runs NNW-SSE along our property's western edge, had some ponding, as did Sapps Still Road, along the southern edge of our property. Within a very brief period of about 15-20 minutes, the water on the highway had run off into the ditches, while the water on the dirt road - Sapps Still Road - largely remains still.

3/24/2012 8:00 AM 0.02 M M M M A quick admin note: This morning, when I went to clean out the gunk - dust mud - inside the inner tube of the gauge, I discovered a way to thoroughly clean it. Using a length, 18" or more, of Schedule 40 PVC pipe wrapped with a single paper towel with enough lapped over the end, about 1.5", to tuck into the pipe (covering the end of the pipe to prevent scratching the gauge and creating a Q-Tip effect), fits perfectly down the tube, and with the single towel wrapping it, snugs to both side and bottom corners allowing you to get that gunk out of the bottom with ease. My apologies to anyone else if they've already discovered this; I'm used to being last to figure it out. ;)
3/25/2012 8:00 AM 0.23 M M M M A timely shower indeed; yesterday, I set out my hot serrano peppers, sweet banana peppers, and tomato starts. I also transplanted 6 loquat trees and 2 Kieffer pear trees. The roses, camellia, azaleas, fringe trees and a boatload of petunias are blooming like mad. It must be Spring!

5/28/2012 8:00 AM 0.25 M M M M We had moderate winds from TS Beryl, last night, but nothing too rough. All of the rain but what would probably have registered as Trace fell in one 10 minute period at the very beginning of the storm effects. I was in the shower when it began and ended, so I can't accurately determine the time it fell.
5/29/2012 8:00 AM 0.88 M M M M This puts us .13" over our monthly average for May, but we're still about 9.5" short for the water year. Come on TD Beryl, rain!
5/30/2012 8:00 AM 0.15 M M M M That's the last of TD Beryl, for us. I'm very glad the storm brought us some rain to help, incrementally, with our deficit of 9.5", post-storm.

6/5/2012 8:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Yesterday, at about 1:30pm, I was in the town of Broxton, 7 miles south of this location, and while shopping, the bottom fell out; the storm began with pea-sized hail which quickly gave way to drenching rain. By the time I came out of the store, most of the hardest rain had passed, but it was still raining moderately. As I drove home, the rain slackened until I reached this location (home) and saw that we had gotten .03".
6/6/2012 8:00 AM 0.61 M M M M It was pouring buckets when I checked the gauge, and it's still coming down pretty hard now at 8:24am.

7/4/2012 8:00 AM 1.35 M M M M I see no real damage from the hail we got last night beyond a few holes in my elephant ears. The fruit - peaches, pears, figs, grapes - seemed to have survived with only a few more knocked down than the wind and rain would probably have done alone. We do have small limbs down in the yard, all dead, probably as a result of the weight of water and wind. All considered, we were lucky; I noticed on radar that the storm converged pretty much in our area. The minor flooding soaked in or ran off late in the night, but at 11pm when I went out to check on our animals, the yard was a series of interconnected shallow "ponds", puddles 2"-3" deep.
7/5/2012 8:00 AM 1.18 M M M M This very intense rain storm began at 7:11am and continues at the time I'm filing this report (8:06am). There was intense, close lightning earlier in the storm, one bolt striking the new irrigation deep well directly out of my computer desk window while I was looking at it. The well is about 200 meters south-southeast of my house.

We had no damage, but I was surprised given the strength of the winds. On the plus side, the temperature dropped from 95F to about 75F in a matter of minutes, and remains nice and cool, this morning.

9/22/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M As I did yesterday, I am not reporting the water in the gauge, .01" this morning, because I believe it to be condensation rather than precipitation.

3/16/2012 5:55 PM I was trapped in the shed after it started. I had to check on our pets. As soon as I got under the shelter, the hail began in earnest, increasing in size from 3/8" to 1/2", after 10 or so minutes, it slackened for about a minute, then began again as 1" hail. 1" Quarter Size 1/2" Grape 3/8" Hard|White Ice 20 3min shredded leaves Continuous False After rain After smaller hail 10-20
7/3/2012 8:00 PM I was unable to tell the direction or angle of the hail fall. I was trapped in our tin-roofed shed for 10 minutes with one of our pet pigs and one dog, so I was unable to preserve any hail that fell despite picking that I could up from the edge of the barn. It simply melted too quickly and I was unable to run to the house. The storm continues, but now it's just rain, lighting, and wind.
