Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/1/2012 8:00 AM 0.02 M M M M The only measurable rain we had in September came about 1:40pm on Sunday Sept 30, 2012 with 0.02 in the gauge on this morning. August 18 was the last measurable rain here.
10/2/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We have a cool SW wind with sunshine with a cold spell in the forecast at this time.
10/17/2012 10:30 AM 0.27 M M M M We actually had 0.27 of rain overnight and this morning. The sidewalk was damp at 11:30pm last night, with light sprinkles and showers from 8:00am until 11:30am. It is so dry that it did not look like we had as much rain as was in the gauge. The wind is very strong at this time.
10/18/2012 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M The wind is still very strong at this time with misty raindrops in the air. I have a foot deep drift of trash in my back yard from a corn field about a quarter mile away. Also a lot of twigs and dead tree branches but no other damaage.
10/24/2012 9:45 AM 0.07 M M M M We are having intermittent light rain today with a NW breeze. I did not get out to read the gauge until after 9am.
10/25/2012 8:00 AM 0.07 M M M M We left home about 12:45pm and ran into a rain snow mix from Selby to Glenham about 20 minutes later yesterday. There was 0.07 in the gauge this morning so it probably came through here also.
11/6/2012 8:00 AM 0.02 M M M M We got up to sunshine this morning and 0.02 in the gauge from showers yesterday afternoon. The wind is quite strong from the north.
11/7/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We have a SE wind with sunshine at this time.
11/12/2012 8:00 AM 0.02 2.0 M M M Forgot to do this. We had a skiff of new snow during the night (Sunday) with 0.02 melted in the gauge Monday morning with an estimated 2 inches of snow still on the ground.
11/13/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new moisture overnight. We have very little wind so far this morning which is a change. The light wind is mostly in the SW. We have had no melting of the snow yet, but it has settled to about an inch on the ground.
12/7/2012 2:00 PM 0.14 1.5 M M M I just went out and checked the gauge. The ground was white when we got up but it has been snowing lightly all day. There was 0.14 melted in the gauge and about 1.5 inches new snow at 2:00pm today with a few snowflakes still falling. It is warm enough for the snow to melt off the roofs. This is the first measurable moisture since Nov 19/20.
12/8/2012 8:00 AM T M M M M Just a trace of new snow since yesterday. We have had intermittent snow and blowing snow with a SE wind since about 10:30am today. There is enough snow to cause a drift in front of the house.
12/9/2012 8:00 AM 0.08 M M M M We had another 0.08 melted in the gauge this morning. I estimate about 3 inches of snow on the ground at this time. We had a lot of drifting snow around the buildings overnight. The driveway is still icy from Friday night.
12/18/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We have had a couple days of fog. The trees and wires are covered with frost and it is very Christmas like out. We still have about an inch of snow on the ground with no new moisture. The skies are just starting to clear from the west at this time. I sure hope all this fog means moisture in 90 days. We are still in a drought situation here.
12/19/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We have had no new moisture the last several days but it has been snowing lightly most of today with mostly calm winds. Visibility is 2 miles or less at this time. We also had some fog early this morning.
1/10/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We have had mostly sunshine and partly cloudy for most of the day with a strong SE wind. It has been in the high 30's so more of our snow has disappeared.
1/11/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We had foggy skies this morning with strong NW winds with visibility at about one mile at 10:30am with mist on the windshield when we drove after the mail. It was spitting snow around 1:00pm with fog, snow and blowing snow at this time.
1/12/2013 8:00 AM 0.28 4.0 M M M I estimate about 4 inches of new snow (my driveway says 8 inches with the drifting) with 0.28 melted in the gauge. A lot of the snow was horizontal with the strong wind. We still have some intermittent snow and blowing snow with a strong NW wind at this time.
2/9/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We got up to fog again with visibility of less than 2 miles. The fog did lift for a little while and we now have less than 2 miles visibility with a SE wind. We still have patches of snow on the fields and snow banks in the trees so hard to estimate how much is on the ground.
2/10/2013 11:00 AM 0.43 5.0 0.43 M M We had 0.43 melted in the gauge at 11:00am today with an estimated 5 inches of new snow. We have NW wind, snow and blowing snow at this time. The wind has become stronger and I estimate another inch or more of snow since 11:00am.
2/11/2013 10:00 AM 0.10 1.5 M 6.5 M I estimate another inch plus of snow with 0.10 melted in the gauge this morning bringing the total snowfall to 6plus inches and 0.53 of moisture. The sun came out about 3:00pm and the wind has calmed.
2/13/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We have sunshine with a strong NW wind at this time. Snow is settling with temps in 40's.
3/18/2013 8:00 AM 0.02 M M M M I looked out the window at 10:00pm last night and saw the sidewalk was wet. We had a rain shower come through sometime earlier and after dark with 0.02 in the gauge this morning. We have a strong NW wind with sunshne at this time.
3/22/2013 11:00 AM 0.13 1.5 M M M We had an estimated 1.5 inches of new snow overnight with 0.13 melted in the gauge at 11:00am this morning. It is still snowing at this time with a lighjt NE wind.
4/5/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We had a stiff south wind most of the day today with partly cloudy skies.

5/29/2013 8:00 AM 0.02 M M M M We must have had an overnight shower as there was 0.02 in the gauge this morning. It may be too early to say the drought is over, but it sure is getting wet and turning the country green.

12/10/2012 12/14/2012 8:00 AM 5 0.00 M M We have had no new moisture for last several days. When we came home about 4:00pm, fog was just starting to come in from the south. Visibility was about 5-6 miles then.

The sky started to clear about 1:00pm and the sun is shining thinnly at this time. The trees are very pretty with frost.

1/1/2013 1/02/2013 10:00 AM 2 0.03 M M We had 0.03 melted in the gauge this morning from light intermittent snow during last two days. The wind was blowing the snow across Hiway 83 south from here about 1:00pm today making for wet, slick or slushy roads in places. The wind was in the NW.

1/3/2013 1/09/2013 8:00 AM 7 0.00 M M We had a few snowflakes in the air on Jan 3 but no moisture in the gauge since my last report. It is a beautiful sunshiny day with above freezing temps at this time. We do still have a little snow on the ground. I estimate less than an inch with more bare spots showing as the day goes by.

I wrote it down but forgot to log in, then have been gone. It is a beautiful day with a temp of 45 degrees at this time with nearly calm wind and sunshine. It is melting the snow but estimate less than an inch on the ground with bare spots showing.
1/19/2013 1/20/2013 10:00 AM 2 0.08 2.0 M We left home very early Saturday morning with mostly clear skies and very little wind. This morning we had 0.08 melted in the gauge from about 2 inches of light fluffy snow that fell over night. The NW wind has increased over the last hour and snow is blowing off the roof but visibility is still good. We have mostly cloudy skies and single digit temps at this time. We still have some old snow left in patches and around the buildings.
1/21/2013 1/24/2013 8:00 AM 4 0.00 1.0 M We have had no new moisture the last 4 days. Today is cold with a SE wind and 12 degrees at this time. It was below zero this morning. There is still about an inch of snow on the ground.

I estimate about 3 inches of new snow with 0.29 melted in the gauge. We went into town yesterday on very snow packed roads and poor visibility at times. While in Gettysburg, it looked like it was snowing snow balls for a while because the flakes were so large. Some residents said they heard thunder and saw lightening during early morning.
1/30/2013 2/03/2013 8:00 AM 5 0.03 2.5 M We had 0.03 melted in the gauge this morning from occassional light snow that has fallen the last 5 days.

3/3/2013 3/04/2013 8:00 AM 2 T M M There was just a light covering of snow on the driveway and only a trace melted in the gauge this morning. Yesterday was dry. Today we have a strong NW wind and mostly cloudy skies at this time. We still have a few piles of snow aroundthe vuildings.
3/5/2013 3/08/2013 8:00 AM 4 0.04 T M I will try and get caught up with our weather. This 0.04 was in the gauge at 8:00am Mar 5 and the gauge has been dry every day since. We still have some snow in the fields so will call it a trace. We had hazy skies most of yesterday and fog rolled in for a while about 8:30 am this morning. We have thin sunshine with haze, temps in 30's with some melting, and a NE breeze at this time.
3/9/2013 3/10/2013 8:00 AM 2 0.00 T M The winter storms continue to go south of us with no new moisture the last 2 days. We did have just a skiff of snow during the night but not enough to even wet the bottom of the gauge.
3/11/2013 3/13/2013 12:00 AM 3 0.00 M M Most of our snow is gone with a few piles remaining around the buildings. We have a SE wind and sunshine at this time.
3/14/2013 3/17/2013 11:00 AM 4 0.03 T M The days of March 14 - 16 were dry days. We got up this morning to less than an inch of new snow with 0.03 melted in the gauge at 11:00am. We have a strong NW wind, cloudy, dark and hazy skies at this time. The drought conditions still persist with nearly all snow melted.
3/19/2013 3/21/2013 12:00 AM 3 0.00 M M The temps are still in the 20's during the day. It was mostly cloudy today with thin clouds.
3/23/2013 3/26/2013 8:00 AM 4 0.04 M M This precipation is from the last three days of light snow flakes in the air with very little accumulation. The temps remain in the 20's during the day with a NW wind and sunshine at this time.
3/28/2013 4/04/2013 8:00 AM 8 0.00 0.0 M We had a few flurries of snow on Easter day about noon or 1:00pm but did not leave anything in the gauge. The snow is gone and we have a light breeze and a few snow flakes in the air at this time. We had a total of 0.26 melted moisture in March and the drought continues.
4/5/2013 4/08/2013 8:00 AM 4 T 0.0 M There was just a trace of moisture in the gauge this morning from a possible rain shower. We had fog during the night and a few rain drops or snowflakes in the air during the day today.
4/10/2013 4/11/2013 10:00 AM 2 0.12 2.0 M We have had about another inch of snow in last two days with 0.12 melted in the gauge this morning. The snow has settled and some has melted as it came down. We have had light snow most of today.
4/14/2013 4/15/2013 8:00 AM 2 1.04 8.0 M I estimate between 6 and 8 inches of snow from this storm. I had 1.04 melted, wonderful moisture in the gauge with an inch of frozen ice in the bottom of the gauge so it is difficult to measure the snow amount that fell because of the wind. If there was a foot of snow both to the north and south, we should have about as much but the drifts do not look like more than 6-8 inches of new snow. The frozen inch of ice in the gauge tells something about the amount of freezing rain we had on Saturday night. There is still about a half inch of ice hanging on fences and east side of buildings.
4/17/2013 4/18/2013 8:00 AM 2 0.21 3.0 M We had on and off light snow during most of the day yesterday resulting in 0.21 in gauge and about 2 inches of new snow for last 2 days. We have thin sunshine and temps in low 30's so not a lot of melting happening. I estimate about 3 inches of snow still on the ground. The moisture is very welcome as we are still in drought situation but where is spring? We have had about 1.80 in moisture so far this month and only 0.26 in March.
4/19/2013 4/22/2013 11:00 AM 4 0.22 2.5 M I estimate 2.5 inches of new snow early this morning until about 11:00am with 0.22 melted in the gauge. This moisture all came this morning with other mornings being dry.
4/23/2013 4/24/2013 11:00 AM 2 0.08 M M It was snowing at 8:00am this morning so did not go out until 11:00am and had 0.08 melted in the gauge. It was dry yesterday am so this (about an inch of wet snow) fell this morning and was over about 10:30am. We have had intermittent snow and sleet showers since then.
4/25/2013 5/02/2013 8:00 AM 8 0.00 0.0 M In spite of the snow and moisture received in April, the drought continues in this area. We had very little run of from the snow. The dry dam by the house has a few inches of water in it but will not last very long. It is sunny and cool with very little wind most of today.
5/3/2013 5/15/2013 8:00 AM 13 0.14 M M We have had no moisture since my last report May 2. We got up this morning to damp sidewalk and 0.14 in the gauge. This is the first moisture since snow on April 24. The drought continues and is getting worse. The pastures have greened up a little and some of the spring grain is starting to show up. In the 58 years I have been at this location, this is the driest I can ever remember at this time of the year.
5/15/2013 5/17/2013 8:00 AM 3 0.04 M M We had very light rain showers yesterday from about 10:00am to noon leaving 0.04 in the gauge this morning. The gauge was dry on the mornings of the 15th and 16th.

6/4/2013 6/05/2013 10:30 AM 2 0.03 M M The gauge was dry yesterday am and the sidewalk was damp at 10:30am this morning. We have had off and on mist most of today with a cold NW wind.
6/6/2013 6/09/2013 8:00 AM 4 0.24 M M The gauge was dry the mornings of June 6&7. June 8 we had 0.19 and this morning we had 0.04. We have had a few puffy clouds that have nearly cleared at this time today.

7/12/2013 7/14/2013 8:00 AM 3 0.93 M M The mornings of July 12 & 13 the gauge was dry. This morning we had 0.93 in the gauge from a thunder storm during the night. It has been cloudy most of the day with the sun trying to peek through in the late afternoon.
7/15/2013 7/21/2013 8:00 AM 7 0.00 M M We have had several dry days. We have sunshine at this time.
7/22/2013 7/30/2013 8:00 AM 9 0.00 M M We have been gone on vacation and the gauge was empty when I looked this morning. But we did have some thunder and lightning about 4:30pm this afternoon and a light shower. I did not look yet to see how much rain we had.
