12/21/2012 7:00 AM 0.67 6.0 M M M Measurement is an approximation due to the winds, averaging hee was not effective, had to go elsewhere, which also may have been affected by the winds depositing more than had actually fallen as precipitation. Much of the moisture was in the form of actual rain, heavy ice around as well, also had a few thunderstorms roll through during the snow times, which did not fall as snow. The snow itself is heavy, the snow blowers aren't throwing it as well, and it is heavy anyway. This is actually a multiday report, aas I did not get one mid-storm.

8/7/2013 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Not much for rain here. Could use some, ground is cracking. Drilled post holes to 3', dry mostly, but the clay does show some moisture deeper down. Mostly crumbled, easy for setting posts, but not so good for crops.

The soybeans have beans in the pods, but any rains in the near future will determine if they are decent sized or bb's. Some did not pollinate, so will be a loss.
