12/21/2012 8:00 AM 0.50 M M M M O K! This is hard. Yesterday morning we had a big rain really quick...I am calling it a half inch. Then it started snowing. The problem is, it has drifted everywhere...nowhere to get an accurate measure. You would have to see where I live to understand this, but from forty years of experience of shoveling these drifts I can fairly accurately say we had an inch to an inch and a quarter of snow. Where I did try to average that was consistent.I shall be able to give you a water equiv. after the tube thaws later today. Hope what I did is O K! 21f...blowin' like hell...sunny-it was not fun clearing the drifts, especially for a seventy-one year old!

Weather never stopped us from plowing through the drifts, walking miles in wind and snow in pursuit of those big eyed chickens...all a memory now...not a bird within ten miles of us now even if there are any at all. Sad! My Grandsons will never know the excitement of fighting the elements to bag one small bird that tastes so good because of the difficulty of the hunt. Happy New Year to you all!

Last year I started planting the last week of February and I was correct. Early planting did pay off. A freeze in April got my potatoes but they came right back. Onions, beets, spinach was all very early. I think this year may mirror last year. If I remember, droughts usually last longer than nine months, so early planting is on the agenda. It is a crap shoot, but I guess I am a gambler-replanting is not a big deal!

1/30/2013 9:16 AM 1.67 M M M M This rain came in waves all day long. It was not a steady event. And...as far of the flooding issue here-did not happen. This rain soaked in. There is a small pond forming in the old buffalo wallow so the ground is getting saturated. Willow creek which has been turned into a waterway now east of the house is running. Very glad to see that water did not run off. Got my garden seed from Burpee's this week so I can plant spinach in 20 days or so.

2/27/2013 8:37 AM 0.60 M M M M 32f...snow...calm. There must have been a lot more rain south and west of me. Willow Crick is running full and that usually does not happen with less than an inch of rain and this was not a down pour. Also, the dredge pond has water rolling over the dam and Patterson Crick is out of it's bank. That tells me that over the 14,000acre water shed that flows in to the lake basin got a hell of a lot more rain than a half to an inch. The buffalo waller behind my house has a very small pond. That would verify 3/4-1". So...beats me what happened, the rain is soaking in.
2/28/2013 7:55 AM M T M M M 34f...cloudy, very light snow...calm. Snowed all day yesterday, but no accumulation.There was a small glazing of ice last night. Had to salt the deck...school bus was getting along O K this morning so roads must not be an issue.

3/6/2013 11:45 AM M 5.0 M M M This is a very heavy(weight wise) snow. It rained all morning yesterday before the snow started and when it started it came fast and hard. That blizzard lasted longer than any in my recent memory and that goes back a long time. Steve is here on the tractor digging us out as I scribe. I am going to guess the rain amount was .30. The gauge is frozen in hopefully not broken. I shall try to retrieve it later today. Good news is it is going to warm up fast. This may be one of those winters that hangs on then all of the sudden the temp gets into the 50's and never looks back

3/25/2013 10:00 AM M M M 7.0 M This snow was much lighter in weight compared to yesterday. It has come from the NW. Very hard to measure because of drifting, but I averaged 4 different measurements and came up with 7". It is melting and as I scribe the sun is poking through.

4/17/2013 8:25 AM 1.32 M M M M 49f....cloudy...breeze from NE. Most of this rain came between noon and 8PM yesterday from the NE. This morning at 4 the light show began with lots of thunder. Not bad storms, just constant until around 7AM. The buffalo wallow is holding water now, the first time in over a year...too late for the migrating ducks, but we may still get a straggler or two. Yesterday afternoon, I sat on the front porch and enjoyed listening to the steady rain and distant thunder accompanied by Debussy,s PRELUDE TO THE AFTERNOON OF THE FAWN; so restful!

I think we got lucky last night...as my SWR states, that wind was scarey...this morning, the only damage I can find is one large limb,I shall have to pull it out with the truck, came from high in a maple beside the house, and that limb was twisted off.We had no storm after that just the rain.

I checked radar and the storm was up near Hoopeston.Could not hear thunder, but the sight was awesome. This years rhubarb wine is going to be delicious. I decanted for the second time yesterday,and it tastes great.It will be ready in a month or so. The wine tastes different every year, and this year is no different. Last years wine failed-made good vinegar but lousy wine.I attribute that to the drought.The vinegar is very unique...good on garden salad.

We had a large,young buck drinking from the bird bath,then enjoying cherries from our tree last evening around 8PM. Very odd because we live some three miles from their natural habitat. It may be the same deer that was chowing down on Mulberries a few evenings ago across the road at my Daughter's house. Wish I could have got his picture.

1/12/2013 1/15/2013 4:18 AM 4 1.55 M M It finally thawed out! This rain fell from late Saturday until Sunday night-the heaviest happening Sat eve. From about 11 A M Sunday there was no freezing rain here but froze immediately when it hit the ground. We had sleet all the way here from St. Louis;pure hell driving-saw two bad roll overs in front of us. People still driving 80 mph in that freeze. NO common sense, but in today's world common sense takes a back seat it seems. Made it home in twice the normal time, iced every thing down so Bev could get to the house, and then we holed up! Guess what? we had not been home an hour and the damned power went off. We bought a generator several years back. We have lived here for forty years, and every time a dog peed on a power pole out here we lost power so we finally wrote a big check for our own power back-up; best money I ever spent. Have a DIR for you later this week. Ditches are full again.

4/10/2013 2:00 PM I did not see this hail, but my Grandson did. I first thought he might have been exaggerating,but at lunch yesterday with my golf buddies, they reported the same thing at the same time.I did not know whether or not to report this, but here it is.The hail was along Jasper Street in Paris from the Cereal Mill to Crestwood School. 1 3/4" Golf Ball Size NA NA car dents Intermittent True
