11/21/2013 10:00 AM 0.01 0.0 M 0.0 M I actually do not know if it rained, or if this reading came from the heavy fog.

11/29/2013 9:00 AM T M M M M I only saw a few snowflakes Thanksgiving Day.
12/2/2013 10:40 AM 0.02 0.2 M M M I waited for the precipitation to end before bringing in the gauges, thus the time of 10:40.

12/10/2013 9:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Another nuisance snow. It is too cold to melt the ice underneath.

1/14/2014 2:00 PM 0.51 7.0 M M M I had to clear the long stairway to get to the rain gauges, so it took a while to take the reading. The wind was blowing and the snow was drifting like crazy. I measured about 7 inches in the rain gauge.
1/16/2014 11:00 AM 0.02 M M M M
1/17/2014 9:00 AM T M M M M
1/18/2014 9:00 AM M M M M M Oops. Forgot to put the gauges back out. We had several inches of snow and I missed it.
1/21/2014 9:00 AM T T M M M
1/22/2014 9:00 AM 0.03 M M M M More nuisance snow, but then all snow is a nuisance! It would be nice if we would get precipitation every day in the summer instead. (I know, most people like sun in the summer...I am just different...I like sun in the winter only)
1/24/2014 10:30 AM T T M M M Actually the precipitation looked more like frozen balls of rain, not quite sleet, not quite hail, not quite snow.
1/25/2014 9:00 AM 0.07 M M M M More nuisance snow.
1/30/2014 8:00 AM 0.31 M M M M
1/31/2014 9:00 AM 0.23 M M M M I am wondering how much of this was from the drifting snow blown off the roof by the strong wind. The total of yesterday and today came to 0.53 in this gauge (0.30 plus 0.23), and 0.49 in my other rain gauge. The snow ended yesterday (Jan.30th shortly after noon here).
2/1/2014 9:00 AM T T M M M A very few snow flakes began falling at 8:50 AM.
2/2/2014 9:00 AM T T M M M The flakes continued to fall after 9 am Saturday the 1st. At around ll am Saturday the 1st the sun came out and the snow, what there was of it, ended.
2/9/2014 9:00 AM T T M M M
2/12/2014 9:00 AM 0.04 M M M M One gauge showed 0.04, the other 0.03. There was very strong wind.
2/13/2014 9:00 AM T T M M M It sounded like a bit of freezing rain around 5 AM. It looked like sleet in tiny raindrop balls.
2/16/2014 9:00 AM 0.03 M M M M
2/21/2014 9:00 AM 0.64 M M M M The problem is that I believe much of the snow could not get into the gauge. I have not yet emptied the second gauge because it is harder to get to without snowshoes, and I have not had time to deal with it. Again, the pile of snow on top seemed to limit what could fall inside. (Yes, I had removed the inner and top parts, but the snow still did not all go in.)
3/28/2014 9:00 AM 0.74 M M M M Actually it began as mist, then rain, then 'millions' of nasty big snow flakes. Some of this reading could have been mist from earlier yesterday, but not much. Thank goodness, most of the new stuff melted today. It became water in the rain gauge, yes!

4/4/2014 10:00 AM 0.69 M M M M I waited for the precipitation to end before doing the reading. I also waited for the snow to melt before doing the reading. The precipitation began at 9 AM on the 3rd and ended at 10 AM on the 4th, 25 hours of sleet and snow.

8/18/2014 9:00 AM 0.47 M M M M Finally some decent rain for a change! My garden would love to have this every night. The rain did not come all at once, but in showers off and on. This is much better for soaking and causes less flooding if any.
8/19/2014 9:00 AM 0.01 M M M M As usual, the rain went north and south of us.
8/20/2014 9:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Again the rain went around us on both sides North and South. It should come here and let everyone else have their precious sunshine.
8/21/2014 9:00 AM 0.27 M M M M Very humid. It was nice to have clouds today. It could have been very uncomfortable with the hot sunshine!

It is also possible that if it blew from the roof, it could have fallen into the gauge. Needless to say, it was unbelievably windy!
