12/23/2011 12/28/2011 8:00 AM 6 0.36 0.5 M Out of town for several days. I do know that there was some rain/snow yesterday (12/27). Snow that was left on the ground this morning was very crusty.

2/11/2012 2/13/2012 8:00 AM 3 0.26 2.5 M Was not available on Saturday morning to measure the snow from the storm on Friday afternoon/evening. I was traveling during the event and can note that I-96 between Lansing and Grand Rapids provided dangerous travel. Very slick with numerous accidents and slide-offs. With the snow that was left in my driveway and lawn, probably a 2.5" - 3.0" event on Friday night, but again, the biggest problem was the slippery roads.

9/8/2012 9/10/2012 8:00 AM 3 0.24 M M Definitely some rain on Friday evening, but not sure about Saturday and Sunday. I was out of town for the weekend. Returned to find 0.24" in the gauge.
