12/3/2012 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We were in a cloud and the ground was wet, but there was nothing in the rain gauge.
12/4/2012 9:00 AM T M M M M The rain was spotty. It seemed to jump over us, but it did make the driveway wet. There was only a drop in the rain gauge by 9 AM. Evaporation?

12/10/2012 9:00 AM 0.70 M M M M It is difficult to know how much actually could have been in the gauge because some of the snow obviously went over the top. I would say it was at least 0.70, but I do not know exactly. Also, at 6 PM on Sunday I measured 10" new snow, plus the previous 3" would bring the total to over a foot, but by morning the measurement was less. Anyway, I really am not into measuring snow. Usually the gauge measurement is closer than today.

1/28/2013 9:30 AM 0.48 M M M M One gauge showed 0.46, the other 0.50, so I took the average. It appeared that some of the precipitation was in the form of snow (from 1.5 to 2 inches), the rest in the form of freezing rain. The good news is that we actually received some decent precipitation for a change!
1/29/2013 9:00 AM 0.04 M M M M No snow, just rain. Thought I saw some lightning in the middle of the night, but heard no thunder.
1/30/2013 9:30 AM T M M M M Trace this time means VERY FEW snow flakes in the bottom of the rain gauge (not measurable) and also just a few observed in the air.

4/19/2013 9:00 AM 1.05 M M M M SNOW is a four letter word! I am not sure about how much melted snow was in the gauge because the snow was stacked up on top of the gauge. For some reason it did not all go into the gauge even though I had removed the smaller unit from inside and the funnel from on top.
4/21/2013 1:00 PM 0.05 M M M M Some snow again.
4/22/2013 3:30 PM 0.64 M M M M
4/23/2013 12:30 PM 1.04 M M M M I waited for the snow to melt because it would be easier to get an accurate reading. The snow was very deep, but I could not get an accurate reading because the depth varied greatly due to the strong wind. Because of the wind my rain gauge reading could even be way off.

5/2/2013 7:00 AM M 8.0 M M M I measured the snow in several places and found 8 inches to be approximately the average depth. I measured the snow early in the morning because it was melting quickly. Funny how we really got hammered when there was no snow even as close as the airport! I forgot to remove the inner rain gauge, so was unable to get a rain amount. Today I melted the snow that did get into the rain gauge. One gauge read 1.27 inches, the other 1.45 inches. I cannot vouch for the accuracy obviously.
5/3/2013 9:00 AM M M M M M Yes, we did receive more snow, but because there was already still snow in the gauge from yesterday I was unable to get a reliable reading this morning. Also I did not measure the snow, but it appeared to be at least 0.5 inches additional.

There was also hail, but I could not see the size due to the fact that it was around 3 in the morning and the electricity went out. The windows were steamed up and I was not about to go outside.
