11/11/2012 9:30 AM 0.01 M M M M Trace of snow yesterday for about ten seconds. Heavy frost this morning. It is now 10:00 and it is still below freezing outside and there is fairly thick layer of frost on things. The solar panels are clear and dry but the panels for the solar HW heater, which are at a much shallower angle, are still frost covered on the lower front face. The north side of my car has pretty designs on the frost (small and tight, not big and lacy like other colder frosts).
11/12/2012 8:00 AM T M M M M We got ten seconds of snow yesterday afternoon. Low of +2F. Almost froze the hot water line. I turned it on at sunrise and it flowed good for a second and then it started to dribble but then came back on. Praise the Lord! I need to find out where this is freezing up.

The inverter shut off due to low battery voltage and the lines to the solar hot water heater froze so it's back to the drawing board for freeze proofing the lines.

The NM locust tree is snowing as ice crystals fall off of it this morning! I tried to use hot water to hose down the snow and ice on the roof to get it into the cisterns before it evaporated, sublimed or blew away, but it seems to be impractical. I'll just have to haul some water in.
12/18/2012 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.1 M Low +7F. Low inside was 57F. Not sure why it is so cold inside, unless there has been a steady wind all night.

12/20/2012 9:00 AM T T M 2.0 M Low of -9F. Traces of snow throughout the day and high winds at times. Blowing and drifting snow. So total snow reading is suspect. There were signs of minimal melting.

1/9/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Low of +7F, fairly windy overnight. Low of +1F at KSKX. We need precip. Everybody is running out of water it seems.
1/10/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We need precip! Cisterns are down to 21 inches. Low of -13F!! KSKX shows a low of +1F. SO maybe there is something wrong with our sensor.
1/11/2013 8:00 AM T T M M M trace of snow at around 7am. very windy at that time. winds area calmer now. Low of +16F here, and KSKX got +21F for low. Yesterday's low is probably spurious reading due to low batteries. Replaced the battery an temps became more stable and believable.
1/12/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Our temp sensor failed. need to replace. KSKX got -14F.
1/13/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Low of -15F. Forgot to set the recirc valve to prevent pipes from solar hot water heater on the roof from freezing. Well, they froze and I spent three hours swimming in blown cellulose WITH A BLOW TORCH trying to thaw the pipes. Won't do THAT again!
1/14/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Low of -8F here and -5F at airport. This is a new temp sensor (replaced yesterday). Cistern is at 20.0 inches of water. So we need some precip!!

1/27/2013 8:00 AM 0.23 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Main precip around 1pm and another briefer volley after dark. Measured 0.22" at 8:30pm after the latter volley. basically all snow is gone now after getting rained on. Looks like it stayed above freezing.

Snow cover very uneven due to drifting. Soil 50% 80% covered by snow. Some drifts are about 2 to 3 inches high and some of it melted and soaked into the soil.

2/21/2013 8:00 AM T M M 1.5 M trace of snow. It seemed like it should have been more. We had volleys of graupel and snow but the duration must've been too short for significant accumulation. Could not distinguish between new snow and old snow so I just got total snow measurement only.

7/6/2013 8:00 AM 0.95 M M M M The first volley happened around 3:30 PM 7/5/2013 and was 0.38" with some small soft hail. The next volley came about 30 minutes later with some soft pea sized hail and almost filled the gauge to overflowing! Continuous contour trench worked very well and diverted large amounts of water onto our property and into the arroyo with a series of check dams that held the water but then drained due to a side cut or under cut. AND catchment pond filled up and I was able to fill a 1,500 gallon irrigation water tank to almost overflowing using solar power from the house! Praise the Lord! HalleluYah! Shabbat Shalom! Baruch Hashem Adonai!

Not sure if this is the storm that caused flooding, but the leak in the Propanel metal roofing dam seems to have sealed itself and held water for a good while. The cinder block dam seems to have sealed itself aw well. All the bits of tumbleweed and debris filled the gaps in the blocks. Cisterns have overflowed as of July 17, 2013 when I came back home.

8/7/2013 8:00 AM T M M M M I'm calling it a trace. The inside of the rain gauge was dry but my bucket under the leaky gutter had water in it. There must've been a heavy dew or some kind of very light rain overnight. We WERE surrounded by thunderstorms yesterday, however!

8/22/2013 8:00 AM T M M M M Surrounded by thunderstorms again. Great show but could use some more rain. Heavenly Father, please reveal to me my unknown or un-confessed sins so that it can rain her again.

ALl my contour trenches were filled, the metal check dam was filled and holding, the cinder block dam filled up but then blew under so I need to patch that, and the catchment pond next to irrigation tank filled up!

9/23/2013 8:30 AM 0.56 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Unusual thunderstorm activity that reminds me of the midwest. Check dams not quite filled up to overflowing but close. Continuous contour trenches held up nicely and was able to dial them in so there was continuous standing water for almost 1,000 feet of trench. The Poor Mans Laser Level really works!
