Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/1/2013 5:30 PM 0.08 M M M M Light rain fell off and on during the 24 hour period. In between there were enough breaks in the overcast skies to add up to more than 3 1/2 hours of sunshine. Temps were cool and winds breezy.
10/2/2013 5:30 PM 0.85 M M M M Didn't expect the amount of rain this site got. Very light drizzle continued from yesterday's update. Then about 6:30 in the evening rain really picked up with about .15 inches falling in less than 45 minutes...A good contender for the update's "heaviest precipitation" award. Not to be so as rain tapered off to scattered light drizzle with not much falling after 9:00 PM. Got some accumulation during the early morning hours until rain started falling more steady like around six in the morning. Then it really picked up with .42 inches falling in just over an hour. Rain gradually tapered off and by 10:00 AM it was back to light scattered drizzle which persisted through update time. It looks like most of the moisture had been wrung out of the system. Skies overnight varied between overcast and partial clearing. Since right before dawn cloud ceiling was low and thick with it finally thinning very late in the period. Less than 1 hour of sunshine was recorded. Temps were downright chilly with wind velocity and direction varied. Minor flooding due to enough rain falling again.

10/6/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain again today with another period with very light winds. Lots of dew but not as much fog. Cool overnight low of 45 degrees gave way to partly to mostly sunny skies and temps that topped out at over 72 degrees which is very balmy for this time of the year. Another weather front's leading edge crosses the Washington coast bringing in some changes of the next couple of days.
10/7/2013 5:30 PM 0.38 M M M M Some light drizzle fell during early morning hours and then @ 5 AM rain started falling harder and then even harder with about .22 inches falling in about 45 minutes. After around a 30 minute break more fell for around another hour then very scattered drizzle until mid morning when not enough fell to count. Breezy conditions along with thick overcast skies. Some partial clearing around noon time accounting for almost 3 hours of sunshine. Temps rather mild.

10/18/2013 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Once again precipitation the result of heavy dew and fog. Fog really persisted with much of the rest of the county getting a lot more than the 4 hours of sunshine this site got....Fog as thickened big time as of update time.
10/19/2013 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M More fog and dew making up daily total with fog never really lifting county wide.
10/20/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rainfall again and not really foggy either. Skies actually remained overcast all day with marine like layer over most of the area with no change in site. Very light winds with temps in 40's all the time and not much change between high and low.
10/21/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precipitation but fog and overcast all day with cool temps changing little highs to lows and light winds once again.
10/22/2013 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Moist and foggy enough to account for .01 inches of precipitation. Thick fog never really lifted again with cool temps staying steady along with light winds. No change predicted for quite some time.
10/23/2013 5:30 PM 0.02 M M M M Precipitation the result of heavy dew and fog. Twice as much as "normal" for this. With that being said there was at least some sun breaks today adding up to around 3 hours worth. Winds light again and temps cool and steady.
10/24/2013 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Once again precipitation result of heavy dew and fog. Fog lifted in other areas of the county but not here once again today as well. Very light winds and cooler temps but wider distance between high and low.

10/28/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain today. Perfectly sunny and clear with over 9 hours of sunshine. Rather warm too with high of 60 degrees after overnight low of 49. Very windy with NE winds topping 50 mph a couple times and 40 mph multiple times and average wind speed in excess of 21 mph.
10/29/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hardly and cloud in the sky again today. Winds eased quite a bit and temps became slightly cooler with high of 57 and low of 36.
10/30/2013 5:30 PM T M M M M Some light drizzle started falling just before update adding up to perhaps a trace. Some clearing adding up to 4 1/2 hours of sunshine. Winds somewhat breezier but still rather light. Temps cool as well.

11/2/2013 5:30 PM 1.10 M M M M Fairly significant system including rain and wind and cool enough temps to put snow in all the mountain passes. Several waves of precipitation. The First one adding less than .10 to daily total and lasting about 1.5 hours with showers tapering off the light drizzle before midnight and staying steady but light until around 5 in the morning with the light stuff adding perhaps .05 to total. Just before 5 another decent shot adding about .15 to total and lasting slightly more than one hour. Basically not much fell between 6 and 10 in the morning with the "heaviest" total kicking in then adding another .15 inches. There was about a 30 minute break and then really steady rain fell straight from 11:30 AM until update period with around .63 inches falling...Starting out slower and then picking up before slowly tapering off again. Winds were significant too with several gusts in excess of 50 mph topping out at 55 mph with average wind speed of more than 22 mph. Westerly winds were somewhat odd for a November storm. No sunshine with heavy cloud cover and temps cooling off through the afternoon. Light rain continues through update time with enough rain falling recently to create some minor field and street flooding locally.
11/3/2013 5:30 PM 0.06 M M M M Rain gradually tapered off and into very light and scattered showers and by around midnight after one last little shot it finally stopped. Skies gradually cleared as temps cooled into the high 30's. Daybreak came with some broken clouds becoming mostly sunny by mid morning. This site ended up with more than 8 hours of sunshine for the day with high reaching the low 50's.

11/7/2013 5:30 PM 0.34 M M M M Several series of showers with some very light drizzle in between. Some brief clearing adding up to around 4 hours of sunshine. Rest of the time a very blustery and dark looking November day just like it's supposed to be.
11/8/2013 5:30 PM T M M M M Light drizzle tapered off as things dried out locally at this site.
11/9/2013 5:30 PM 0.08 M M M M .06 of the total fell in 25 minutes with just some scattered light rain before and after with a break and another small amount during the early morning hours.
11/10/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain today and not much sunshine either with light winds and mild temps. Not very November like.
11/11/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Once again not rain with some filtered sunshine adding up to just short of 6 hours. Winds were much breezier but temps were very mild for November.

11/14/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain today with over 7 hours of sunshine. Light winds became breezy from the NW which is unusual again for this time of year. Also having less than 2" of rain for November with it almost 1/2 over is odd too as is the yearly total of slightly more than 28 1/2 inches. A new system is on the way but it's dropping down from the NW which is different as well. All in all so far 2013 has been an odd weather year.
11/15/2013 5:30 PM 0.85 M M M M Had to think some about the heaviest precipitation portion since once the rain picked up in the early afternoon it stayed pretty steady right up until about 15 minutes ago when it started to taper off. One thing about most of the day...It really looked and felt like November in northwest Washington with very dark skies plus the rain and blustery winds and rather cool temps staying in the low to mid 40's.
11/16/2013 5:30 PM 0.20 M M M M
11/17/2013 5:30 PM 0.10 M M M M Total was not rounded. Some light drizzle during the evening hours and then some slightly more significant showers after six in the morning with spotty stuff between ten and eleven where we got a decent shot of rain followed by clearing adding up to almost 5 1/2 hours of sunshine. Then more clouds followed by more light but steady showers starting about 45 minutes before update time and continuing through. Blustery winds with slightly cooler than average temps. Not much more to say.
11/18/2013 5:30 PM 0.59 M M M M Light drizzle from yesterday's update eased off to nothing but 8 or so. Then nothing much until just after 2 in the morning when light but steady drizzle fell until 10 or so when rain pretty much stopped. Then about half past noon it started falling again and continued real steady like right through update time with about .48 inches falling during this time. Skies did clear at least briefly teasing us before low thick cloud cover moved back in. Still over 2 hours of sunshine. Temps were slightly cooler than normal with winds very light. Flooding was due to several days of accumulation since not enough really fell to flood local streets and fields like what is happening.
11/19/2013 5:30 PM 0.65 M M M M Much more rain fell during the evening hours that predicted with light but steady rain continuing from yesterday's update. Then about half past nine at night it really picked up slightly easing an hour later but continuing for a couple hours after midnight. Another set of showers fell between 8 and 9:30 in the morning before the skies broke and the sun came out for the tune of over 6 hours. Then the constant breezy westerly winds really picked up with multiple gusts over 40 mph. Temps dropped as well as clear and colder weather moves in. Enough rain fell again today to keep local streets and fields affected by minor flooding.
11/20/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain today. Very clear and cold with daytime high topping out at 46 degrees due to the sun but overnight low of 29. Breezy winds until the end of the day.
11/21/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain because not a cloud in the sky and save the sun shining temps were pretty cold with high of 44 and low of 28. No change predicted.
11/22/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain again but a few high clouds in the afternoon. Temps were just slightly warmer but still cold.

11/28/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M First of all...No rain today with more than 4 hours of sunshine totaling 144 for the month of November which is a lot and 2030 for the year which is also a lot. Now...This update is #2000. That's 2000 times...2000 days of walking out the the far corner of my yard and recording rain amounts or lack there of. 2000 times back and forth and wondering how significant this data really is? 2000 times wondering if there is any reward like a blue ribbon...Polo shirt...Ball cap or just a warm fuzzy feeling that such volunteers might feel...
11/29/2013 5:30 PM 0.04 M M M M Some light showers moved through with partial clearing in between with light winds and about average temps.
11/30/2013 5:30 PM 0.36 M M M M A decent shot of showers during the evening hours gave way to steady but light showers from around midnight to just about the end of the update period. Breezy winds and average temps with very little sunshine hours.
12/1/2013 5:30 PM 0.63 M M M M Rain started just before nine and fell very steady like all the way past midnight before slowly tapering off and stopping just after five in the morning... Breezy winds with just one and a half hours of sunshine and mild temps. Cold weather predicted to be on the way.
12/2/2013 5:30 PM 0.35 M M M M Some light drizzle overnight with breezy winds and cool temps. Some more showers fell during the mid morning hours followed by some broken clouds with partial clearing adding up to just over 2 hours of sunshine. Winds stayed mostly blustery and from the west with the lions share of precipitation falling between 2 and 4 in the afternoon and most of this as hail....About 1 1/2 inches worth fell but all has melted here by now. About an hour ago winds switched to the NE and temps are falling pretty fast with current temp of 32 degrees and winds blowing 15-25 mph with some gusts reaching into the mid to high 30 mph range. Cold and windy temps forecasted for the rest of the week with little to no precipitation.
12/3/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain today. Perfectly clear skies with blustery winds and cold temps. No changes predicted for the upcoming week.
12/4/2013 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Precipitation result of heavy frost. Clear skies cold temps and blustery winds.
12/5/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain today... There were some clouds with it being even colder. Winds eased slightly but then started to pick up. Another storm is on the way.
12/6/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precipitation again with skies mostly clear and sunny. Sunny does not mean it was warm....Far from it. High was only 27.5 degrees and low 20.6 with average temp so far of 23.3 degrees making this the coldest day of the year so far. It was by far the windiest as well with average wind speed of almost 30 mph. Dozens of gusts exceeded 50 mph with 5 gusts in excess of 60 mph topping out at 63.3 mph. This brought wind chill readings below zero several times. This really cold and windy weather is supposed to continue well into tomorrow with temps forecasted to not reach 40 degrees until at least Tuesday. If that happens that makes this cold dry and windy weather event longer than one week.
12/7/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precipitation again and hardly a cloud. Very blustery winds started to ease slightly after midnight and then again around noon. Now they're blowing perhaps 5-15 mph. Winds yesterday ended up averaging 29.7 mph or 311 miles of wind run. That makes the day perhaps the 3rd or 4th windiest day of all time at this weather site location. Temps remain cold with the low of 17 degrees. Highs never got out of the 20's and over the last 2 hours or so they've dropped some 8 degrees. Although wind chill won't be a factor tonight (last night got down to -6 degrees) temps are supposed to be colder. Then things are gradually supposed to warm up.
12/8/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precipitation and very light winds. Overnight low of 17 degrees close to the previous night but high in the mid 30's warmer. Since sunset temps have dropped 10+ degrees down to about 23. There were a few overnight and morning high clouds but 6 plus hours of sunshine today. Change out of the cold dry weather still seems elusive.
12/9/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M A few light flurries fell today but not nearly enough to count as measurable. Cold today but not as cold with skies mostly cloudy and winds slightly stronger than yesterday.
12/10/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M
12/11/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still no rain with much colder than average temps and somewhat breezy.
12/12/2013 5:30 PM 0.07 M M M M I guess today is the end of the cold snap with temps topping 40 degrees for the first time in over 9 days. High was only 43 with low of 30. Light winds from the east and northeast change to the southeast about the time when temps rose about 10 degrees in less than two hours. Rain that fell is modest at the most. December is starting out very dry.
12/13/2013 5:30 PM 0.21 M M M M Just some light rain and drizzle scattered out for a large portion of this update period. Other than this skies were heavy low overcast and winds lighter than normal with temps about average. Basically a dreary December day.

12/19/2013 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Just some light drizzle in the early evening hours. Somewhat breezy....First from the NW and then from the NE before tapering off by mid afternoon. Temps stayed in the low to mid 30's. Possible snow overnight although it most likely won't stay around long.
12/20/2013 5:30 PM 0.29 2.5 0.29 2.5 0.29 Once again when it snows at this site which it did it is very difficult for me to come up with accurate data. As usual winds accompanied the snow causing drifting making the total amount hard to measure. Another factor was that temps were close to freezing and thus earlier in the day the snow stuck. Towards the end of the period the snow did stick plus a fair amount had started to melt. So the totals listed here are the best I could come up with.
12/21/2013 5:30 PM 0.04 M M M M Temps never warmed up as much as predicted so some patches of snow persist. However nothing fell in that form much less stuck so I'm leaving the snowfall portion blank. Other than this low clouds and misty fog/very light drizzle accounted for this day's precipitation total.
12/22/2013 5:30 PM 0.15 M M M M Precipitation was the same as previous period since it once again was very light drizzle/mist stuff which just stuck around. Colder weather persisted as well. 20 miles to the south temps were in the 50's while here they're still in the 30's.
12/23/2013 5:30 PM 0.81 M M M M Rain continued from yesterday's update as very light drizzle. It gradually picked up through the evening hours so by ten or so it was coming down fairly hard. It kept up like this fairly steady until after midnight. Then a series of showers moved through until about dawn....Some of them heavy before the rain finally ended. Breezy conditions with the winds shifting from the NE to the SE. Once that happened temps rose into the 40's and stayed there through update time. The sun broke through late morning to the tune of just short of 5 hours.

12/30/2013 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precipitation with little chance of anymore before the end of the month and year. As it stands right now this December is one of the driest in a decade of recording weather data. For the year rain is less than average. More than usual sunshine hours for this month and the last making this year close to the top in sunshine hours. Winds lately have been light especially for this time of the year. That mirrors the trend for the year as well. Temps are cool but by all means not cold. All in all an odd month and an odd year weather wise.

1/1/2014 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Precipitation started out as heavy fog and dew but then evolved into very light drizzle by the end of the update period carrying through to the next...
1/2/2014 5:30 PM 0.59 M M M M Very light drizzle persisted through evening hours off and on. Then more steady drizzle started just before two in the morning increasing until dawn when it became much lighter again. Then around an hour before noon it picked up again increasing throughout the afternoon until about half past 3 when it eased slightly but still continues. Fitful winds became slightly breezy as they switched to the SE. Very thick overcast skies with temps ranging between 41 and 45 degrees. Rain increased significantly about 35 minutes before update.
1/3/2014 5:30 PM 0.32 M M M M Rain fell pretty hard through update period and about 30+ minutes beyond. It then diminished slightly, picked up again before easing once and for all. SE winds switched to SW and then West and really became blustery as skies cleared. Winds migrated to NW and remained very breezy overnight easing occasionally but then picking up. They finally eased about 45 minutes before update and switched to the NE. During the day some overcast with clearing amounting to almost 2 1/2 hours of sunshine. Temps stayed in the lower to mid 40's as well. Enough rain fell during the early part of the update to cause some minor local flooding.

It did at least drizzle a fair amount of this period including the start and the end. Some small sun breaks but mostly overcast skies and very blustery. Looked and felt like a January day in the Puget Sound lowlands.

1/11/2014 5:30 PM 0.63 M M M M Light rain continued pretty steady through the evening hours tapering off some around midnight. Then it picked up about 1:30 in the morning and even more about before 3:30. It then eased almost completely by six in the morning and then has been light scattered but consistent showers right through update. Temps especially overnight were mild. Winds have been very blustery as well with multiple gusts over 50 mph topping out at 56 mph. Skies mostly overcast with a few short sun breaks about mid day. Enough rain has fell to cause some local street and field flooding.

1/13/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain today. Overcast and rainy skies finally cleared some with over 3 hours of sunshine breaking through. 7 straight days of blustery winds finally eased this afternoon. Still over the last week average wind speed was 17.5 mph which is above average wind energy.

We're really in a dysfunctional weather pattern with no definite end in sight. Mountain snow pack levels are less than half of normal with significant ramifications probable if nothing changes soon.
1/24/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M
1/25/2014 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Once again precipitation result of fog and dew....Late night and early morning variety. Daylight hours were perfectly sunny with over 7 hours of sunshine recorded. Low temps cool...Low 30's. Highs were rather balmy for winter at 47 degrees....Much warmer in the sun. Like the last 2 weeks winds very light especially for this time of the year. Perhaps we're going to get a 'break' with rain predicted early next week.
1/26/2014 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Heavy dew and fog results in today's minimal total. Today fog didn't lift at all. Chilly temps and very light winds again as well.
1/27/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precipitation today. Less fog and dew but high humidity. Super light winds with mostly cloudy skies and some partial clearing. Temps cool once again as well.
1/28/2014 5:30 PM 0.02 M M M M Looked like we were going to get more rain than actually fell. As it turns out not much more precipitation accumulated than previous days of heavy dew and fog. Light winds, overcast skies and cool temps prevail as does unusual weather for this time of the year.
1/29/2014 5:30 PM 0.50 M M M M While a lot of this system's energy went to the south at least we got some rain out of it. Today's total was not rounded by the way. Other than the rain which was badly needed not much else changed. Overcast skies with light winds and cool temps happened once again.
1/30/2014 5:30 PM 0.21 M M M M Got another decent shot of rain overnight. This brings this site up to above 3 inches for the month...Very modest for January if not alarming. At least we got almost an inch in the last couple of days. More overcast skies with some modest clearing. Winds very light once again although they did freshen some about noon switching to the NE and bringing the temp down to the mid 30's.
1/31/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Month of January finishes off dry like most of the month. Monthly total is about 60% of normal. Overcast skies in the evening became clear and stayed that way all day with almost 8 1/2 hours of sunshine. Monthly total of almost 100 hours is high. Breezy NE winds switched to the NW and eased early afternoon and now are once again very light. Monthly average wind speed of 8.9 mph is very light for this time of the year. Temps were cool again...Monthly average temp of 41 degrees with no temps below 30 or reaching the 50's. Barometric pressure is rising with monthly average @ 30.20 inches. Forecast now is for a very dry and cold pattern setting in which is not what this area needs.

2/8/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M One week plus into the month of February and not a drop or rain or a flake of snow. Lots of sunshine....51 hours worth and moderately breezy to downright blustery winds with average wind speed of over 17 mph....Almost exclusively out of the NE. Unseasonably cold as well with average temp of just over 29 degrees. Very dry as well with average humidity of @ 50% and average dew point of about 12 degrees. A grass fire started spontaneously in the salt water marsh behind my home two days ago most likely the result of things being super dry. This marsh is usually inundated with water at this time of the year. Predicted rain seems to always remain around 2 days out day after day...
2/9/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No measurable precipitation again. From Seattle and south they got from 2" to 8" of snow during the evening and overnight hours with not so much as a flurry falling here. Today we 'made up' for that when about 27 flurries fell over a 10 minute period middle afternoon. So with 1/3 of February effectively over no precipitation although the NWS 'promises' some in the near future. Temps remain cool...Not so cold as a few days ago but the high just in the mid 30's with the low in the high 20's. Temps falling currently and just above freezing. Winds have eased some after yesterday being blustery once again. Skies overcast during most of this period. Humidity has risen slightly to just short of 60% at least offering some relief from this very dry pattern.
2/10/2014 5:30 PM 0.36 M M M M Precipitation was varied. It started out with very light flurries and then stopped. Later more precipitation came through with a dusting of snow falling....Basically just enough to cover a thin surface. After midnight even more moisture and despite it being 32 degrees fell as freezing rain. All this makes it hard for me to estimate the hardest amount. Temps finally warmed up enough for precipitation to fall as straight rain which fell off and on to within an hour of update. Mostly cloudy skies with some sun breaks and somewhat breezy conditions.

2/14/2014 5:30 PM 0.13 M M M M Light drizzle started before midnight but didn't amount to much for a couple of hours. Once the showers passed through skies became mostly cloudy with periods of clearing with the sun shining most of the afternoon. Winds breezy again. February so far as been a relatively windy month with average wind speeds of close to 16 mph for the first half of the month. More significant wind in the forecast. Lack of rain for the month so far means that it's been rather sunny with about 5 hours of the day and 82 hours for the month. Cold temps earlier in the month have became more normal with temps getting into the 40's on a regular basis and even into the low 50's.

2/17/2014 5:30 PM 0.80 M M M M Total for update period is not rounded. Rain continued and picked up from yesterday's update with more than 1/2 of an inch falling in about a 2 hour period. That was enough to cause some minor street and field flooding. Rain then tapered off to showers. Very blustery winds topping out at 60 mph. Cool enough for around 3 feet of very needed snow to fall in the mountains. Some clearing this afternoon adding up to about 2 hours of sunshine. Still breezy out with February turning out to be a relatively windy month so far.
2/18/2014 5:30 PM 0.46 M M M M Very blustery throughout the whole update period. First shot of rain lasted a bit longer than 2 hours with then just light drizzle or nothing until right before noon. Winds picked up big time and followed immediately by rain...Fairly hard rain which chased the dogs inside. As far as the heaviest rain I chose the middle option. I could have gone for the first 30 minute shot which totaled .13 inches. The duration I decided on totaled .22 inches or an even longer option of 95 minutes which totaled .29 inches. There was no real break in precipitation during the whole 95 minute period. Rain stopped a half an hour or so later with .02 more in the gauge. Then the sun came out totaling almost 3 hours worth. Temps were cool with more snow in the mountains....About 9 feet or more in the last week which is badly needed. Strong winds continue through update with average daily wind speed of 25 mph and monthly of almost 16 1/2 mph. More of this in the forecast. Enough rain fell quickly enough for more minor local flooding.
2/19/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain today. Almost 8 hours of sunshine adding up to over 100 for the month and almost 200 for the year. Breezy again with slightly cooler than normal temps.
2/20/2014 5:30 PM 0.08 M M M M Pretty modest amount of rain from this latest system. Precipitation fell very lightly during the evening hours picking up slightly early morning before tapering off to nothing. Wind late arriving but making up for lost time. Once again very blustery day with average wind speed of about 20 mph. Mostly sunny skies with almost 8 hours of sunshine for the day. Temps cool and predicted to get colder with possibility of sea level snow this weekend.
2/21/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M
2/22/2014 5:30 PM 0.28 M M M M Precipitation fell as a variety of wintery mix with temps ranging from 33 degrees to 36. It started right before I left for work this morning and continues right through update. Overnight it's supposed to get colder as light SE winds freshen and then switch to the NE. Heavy overcast skies meant no sunshine hours. If moisture continues which is predicted then 4-6 inches of snow could fall down here at sea level. At work 3 miles away and at the elevation of around 200 feet some accumulation happened today.
2/23/2014 5:30 PM 1.06 6.5 0.72 6.5 0.72 Tough day to come up with anything accurate. Wet snow/sleet fell all evening and into the early morning hours. Temps were in the mid to low 30's but stayed just above freezing until about 2 in the morning. Thus while some snow stuck to the grassy areas and the deck and BBQ etc other places it just kept melting. This ended up being about .36 of the total amount of precipitation. Temps fell below freezing and by the time I left for work about 4:30 in the morning it was sticking to the streets with temps about 31 degrees. Temps fell very slowly and gradually during the whole period finally ending up around 29 degrees at update. Winds switched to the NE about 8 o'clock last evening and have stayed from that direction and freshened past the midnight hour. All day they've been steady and blustery with average wind speed so far for the day of 23 mph. Windy conditions of course caused snow to drift. I took several sample heights throughout my yard ranging from about 5 inches all the way up to 10 and decided upon about 6 1/2 inches. Snow was rather wet and with that moisture content contributed the .72 to the update's total. Heaviest precipitation was very approximate. Other data I did the best I could. Dogs did love the snow which is always a bonus.
2/24/2014 5:30 PM 0.32 2.5 0.32 9.0 1.04 Once again with the wind blowing the snow around and temps fluctuating around the freezing mark it makes it difficult to come up with an accurate number plus work issues interfered with my observations making my update very tardy and somewhat approximate. Basically it snowed in the morning and then light flurries and at update time freezing rain is falling.
2/25/2014 5:30 PM 0.46 M M M M By the end of this update period the sun was shining and most hard surface area snow accumulation had melted (the areas I use to measure the amount fallen). Freezing rain fell through yesterday's update period at a consistent clip finally tapering off late evening and stopping in the early morning hours. Enough freezing rain fell to freeze up both of my anemometers for almost 10 hours negating some significant wind data. By day break skies were mostly clear and the sun shown all day long melting enough of the snow and along with everything else caused inevitable minor street and field flooding. With all the approximate snowfall totals I'm relatively certain that the aggregate precipitation totals from this event are basically accurate....Confirmed partially by 2 Davis weather station rain gauges recording the snow melt totals in their large buckets. I used this data to confirm that my snow melt totals and rain totals in the CoCoRaHS rain gauge were believable since all totals ended up being very close. One thing is for sure is that this site does not do very well dealing with snowfall since it's never very clean or consistent.
2/26/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nothing but clear skies for the most part and sunny. There is still un-melted snow in several areas of my yard and the ground remains all soggy and muddy causing my wife stress due to dog's muddy paws bringing the mud into the house. One thing is for sure is that the dogs love this weather!
2/27/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precipitation today. Mostly sunny skies clouding up by update time with another system moving in. First day of this otherwise windy month of February which is designated as a very light wind day with average wind speed of just 5.5 mph.
2/28/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M February ends with no precipitation and basically clear blue skies all day. 9/12 hours of sun for the day and 154 for the month. Windy day completes windy month....22+ mph average wind speed for the day and 16+ mph average for the month. Temps were unseasonably warm topping out well into the mid 50's and feeling almost spring light basking in the sun. Another storm is moving in with cold weather and chance of snow but that's for next month.
3/1/2014 5:30 PM 0.04 0.3 0.04 0.3 0.04 Amount of snow was around 1/4 of an inch but had to round up due to limitations of totals allowed for snow fall here. Quite sure about when the snow started and when it started snowing 'harder.' The total amount is subject to wind blowing even with this smaller amount and thus the total snow melt is somewhat subjective. There actually are still patches of snow left over from last weekend's event. Things were very windy in fact with several gusts in excess of 60 mph with average closer to 30 mph. Temps dropped from the mid 50's around yesterday's update to the high 20's now. Skies mostly cloudy to overcast all day.
3/2/2014 5:30 PM 0.29 M M M M Light snow continued from yesterday's update finally tapering off by midnight. Not much of anything fell until mid to late morning when precipitation started again....This time in the form of freezing rain which once again froze up both of this site's anemometers. Light and steady rain along with snow melt has continued all day picking up slightly by update time. Snow accumulation on hard surfaces topped out at just over one inch. All of this has melted but vestiges of snow continue on grassy surfaces still. Temps ranged from 29 to just 34 degrees which it currently is now. Skies overcast the whole period with windy conditions now changing to light wind.
3/3/2014 5:30 PM 0.73 M M M M Plenty of rain today and more in the forecast.
3/4/2014 5:30 PM 0.29 M M M M Today was supposed to be an off day for precipitation but it didn't turn out that way really. Started out as very light drizzle gradually picking up and then peaking before gradually easing until it 'ended' with more very light drizzle. Virtually no sunshine with low overcast skies and rather chilly with temps remaining in the high 30's. Very light winds from the north. Enough rain has fallen and keeps falling that continuous minor street and field flooding remains. Heavier rain in the 48 plus hour forecast with flood watches up for major rivers plus minor streams as well.
3/5/2014 5:30 PM 0.76 M M M M Rain started mid evening and kept up until late morning with a couple periods of rather heavy precipitation. The heaviest with .24 falling during this period. Cooler temps turned mild as overcast skies broke and the sun came out for about 4 hours late morning to early afternoon. Then the clouds rolled back in for round 2. High temp of 59 means high snow levels and along with rain has rivers rising. Once again enough rain fell today to keep the whole minor street and yard flooding going almost to the point where it's not so typical...
3/6/2014 5:30 PM 0.49 M M M M Several decent shots of rain with some partial clearing and very light drizzle in between. Local rivers short of flood stage but ground saturation caused more minor local street and yard flooding. Temps very mild along with blustery winds.

3/9/2014 5:30 PM 0.45 M M M M Rain continued through yesterday's update at consistent rate until it finally tapered off after 9 PM. Then light scattered showers/drizzle which ended right around midnight. Skies gradually cleared with today having almost 8 hours of sunshine some of it filtered. A brief and light set of showers came through later in the afternoon. Winds have been light and temps mild. One again enough rain has fallen to saturate the soil keeping the local streets and fields in a minor flooded state. River topped out about 2 feet under flood stage as well.

Overcast skies broke up and sun came out off and on for about 5 hours...One last little shot of showers just before three this afternoon. Trend of light winds changed to breezy with temps moderate again.
3/15/2014 5:30 PM 0.21 M M M M Some light drizzle happened late morning hours accounting for .01 of today's total. Then at 3:45 PM real steady rain started and continues through update. Winds went from light to breezy with skies overcast and temps mild.
3/16/2014 5:30 PM 0.58 M M M M Steady rain continued through yesterday's update finally tapering off mid evening. Then showers throughout the night with light but steady drizzle all day. Temps cooler today with heavy overcast skies and breezy conditions.

NE winds swung to NW and temps dropped over 10 degrees in less than 30 minutes with current temp of 47 degrees. On another note the massive landslide 40 miles to the SE in Oso, Snohomish County Washington is a reminder of the power of water. What's turning out to be the wettest March on record saturated the ground enough to take down the whole side of a mountain literally wiping out a whole community. It makes me pause and think...Hoping for the best for the first responders and the greatest of sympathies for those who have been lost.
3/25/2014 5:30 PM 0.05 M M M M Two small shots of showers and now some very light drizzle account for today's total. Skies mostly cloudy to overcast with temps moderate and blustery winds.

4/24/2014 5:30 PM 1.09 M M M M Several different significant periods of rain during this update period. Started out as very light showers during the earlier evening hours. Then a shot starting about 11 PM and lasting until about 1 AM accounted for .28 inches of the period's total. Another shot started about half past one in the morning lasting until around 5:30 AM accounted for .31 inches of the total. There was a smaller shot starting at about 4 in the morning lasting about 20 minutes totaling .05. Then came the "heaviest amount" adding up to .20 in that 30 minutes. The rest of the total amount was periods of light rain between the larger shots. Skies were overcast most of the time with it clearing somewhat now in the later in the period. Temps remain cooler than normal with winds breezy but also variable in velocity and direction. Minor local street and yard flooding happened due to previous totals along with today's amount.
4/25/2014 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Some scattered light drizzle fell during the evening hours with overcast skies giving away to clearing and a very sunny day. Temps remain cool with breezy winds easing.

4/27/2014 5:30 PM 0.11 M M M M System came through during evening hours accounting for .09 inches of the total...A lot less than anticipated. Thundershowers in area today with an infant one accounting for the less...No thunder and no hail but some gusty winds and moderate but brief rain as temp during this time dropped 6 degrees. Breezy for the whole period with temps cool again although the sun came out today and except for the showers and clouds associated with it was sunny for a large part of the day. Forecast says clearing and warming this week.

5/4/2014 5:30 PM 0.32 M M M M Light scattered drizzle during evening hours with most of the rain falling in early morning. Several sets of showers came through before tapering off by early afternoon. Temps very cool for May with skies overcast and somewhat leaden....More like November as winds were blustery again with average wind speed over last two days in the 15 mph range.
5/5/2014 5:30 PM 0.79 M M M M 3 or 4 different times were contenders for the heaviest precipitation period. The time I ended up with got .21 inches in that 25 minutes. Less than an hour before this and with just 10-15 minutes time parting the 2 periods .20 fell in about 45 minutes. The previous evening starting around 9:15 and ending about 9:45 PM .22 fell. Nevertheless enough has fallen in the past 3 days to cause some unseasonable local minor street and field flooding. Rain has stopped and overcast skies cleared with around 6 hours of sunshine since noon. Temps have warmed some but still cooler than normal with winds becoming light.

Then another small shot of showers between half past 2 and 4:30 AM accounted for the day's total. Enough fell to combine with previous totals to cause some local minor street and field flooding. Breezy conditions persisted throughout the period. Overcast skies did finally break late morning with partly sunny skies taking over. Temps remain cool for this time of the year.

The fact that this happens in late May is unusual as is that May has more rain than January. Once the rain stopped the sun came out and the sun shone bright throughout the rest of the day. Sunset has clear skies. Winds were light and temps about normal for this type of the day. All this rain fell with only 40% chance of rain.

6/24/2014 5:30 PM 0.03 M M M M Lots of on and off drizzle and mist pretty much accounted for this period's total precipitation. Difficult to nail down a start or stop time much less when it was 'heaviest.' Radar showed what looked like a lot more precipitation in area than actually fell. By late morning thick overcast skies broke with things partly sunny. The whole period...Overcast or sunshine...Day or night felt very warm and muggy. During the 8 hours of sunshine this late morning and afternoon yearly high of 76.9 degrees was hit. Light winds hardly helped cool things off.

7/5/2014 5:30 PM 0.02 M M M M This period pretty much had light drizzle and mist flow through from time to time for most of the period adding up to the total. At no time observed was any precipitation significantly higher than another and the actual start and stop time is difficult to ascertain. One thing is sure....Overcast skies and even some precipitation was not in the forecast.
7/6/2014 5:30 PM 0.02 M M M M Much like yesterday's update this one included spotty periods of light drizzle and mist with defining the start and finish somewhat problematic. Skies have been mostly cloudy with temps mild to warm and winds very light.

7/12/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another totally dry day with lots of sunshine. Most likely the hottest day of the year so far with high of 81.5 degrees (relatively high humidity) and a low of 62.3. Light winds didn't help cool things much. Direct sunshine temp exceeded 105 degrees. Average temp for the day will most likely end up close to 70 degrees (currently 68.4 degrees). Not much change in the forecast either.

Very cool for this time of the year with skies mostly thick overcast and periods of breezy conditions. Consistent light rain punctuated by harder showers. Rained enough to make this the wettest July in a while. More in the forecast.
7/24/2014 5:30 PM 0.55 M M M M Today picked up from yesterday. Steady light rain punctuated by heavier showers throughout the evening then easing a couple hours before midnight. Very light drizzle until about 3 AM and then light steady rain until it ended later in the morning. Skies started to break before noon with it mostly sunny all afternoon. Unseasonably cool temps warming slightly. Breezy winds easing.

8/11/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M 2 1/2 weeks without a drop of rain. So far a very dry and relatively hot summer. Lots of sunshine and humidity as well. 87% today and 80%+ for the month. NWS is posting a red flag warning for both sides of the Cascades with lightning and dry conditions leading to possibly more forest fires which have already been significant.
8/12/2014 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Some light drizzle fell this morning with the minimal measurable total. No lightning or anything else. Cloudy skies for the first time this month with relatively warm temps with the heavy overcast and very light winds still.
8/13/2014 5:30 PM 0.63 M M M M Rain fell pretty hard during the early to mid morning hours especially for August and non thunderstorm activity. Heavy overcast all day and for the first time in August the high temp didn't reach 70 degrees nor even close. Enough rain fell within the duration of the most significant precipitation to cause some minor local street and field flooding. Other areas like Seattle to the south had record rain falls for this period and 4xs the amount fell during the period than normally falls all month. So much for the red flag warnings on this side of the mountains.
8/14/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain fell today but it was a rather odd day. Rather thick fog dominated the area for about 15 hours starting around 9 PM and not lifting until around noon with temps in the low 60's. Fog has been replaced by overcast skies. Winds are extremely light. High temps have not reached 70 either.

9/2/2014 5:30 PM 0.23 M M M M First rain in some 3 weeks. This site got missed by the hardest rain which passed just to the south but still we got a relatively decent amount. Skies overcast all day with winds variable and lighter than expected. Temps ranged from 57 to 61 making it the coolest day in a while.
9/3/2014 5:30 PM 1.29 M M M M WOW! It rained harder at this site than perhaps ever before during that 25 minute period around the 10 PM mark. 3/4 of an inch of rain fell during that period when the skies literally opened up. One lightning strike hit so close that the thunder happened at the same instant and shook our home. Unlike most thunderstorms that seemingly was the only strike plus the wind didn't pick up all that much. Before that we had several smaller sets of showers pass through which on any other day could have been classified as the "heaviest precipitation" for the update period but not this time. After this hardest shot things tapered off with the rain coming to a stop for good before 11 PM. Mostly cloudy skies continued before breaking up late in the morning with skies clear and sun shining bright since the noon hour. Enough rain fell in a short enough period of time to cause some minor local street and field flooding despite the fact that no rain fell previous to this and yesterday's totals for some three weeks.
9/4/2014 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Precipitation was the result of heavy overnight dew.
9/5/2014 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Once again precipitation recorded today was the result of heavy dew plus some pre-sunrise ground fog. Like yesterday totally sunny and fairly warm but very humid as well.

9/7/2014 5:30 PM 0.01 M M M M Yet again heavy dew and ground fog resulted in .01 inches of precipitation. Otherwise weather was clear and sunny....Warm with light winds.

9/10/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very breezy especially for this time of the year with several gusts over 40 mph and average wind speed for the day of 14 1/2 mph. Also the wind was from the NE which is unusual for the season which made things rather warm and dry. Temp topped out at 76 degrees. Relative humidity bottomed out around 20% with it averaging about 25%. No rain of course with clear blue skies.
9/11/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very breezy again today with NE winds easing in the afternoon and then switching to the NW. At that time relative humidity went from @ 30% to 60% in a manner of minutes. Temps dropped from 76 degrees to 67 in the same short amount of time. No rain again with nothing but clear blue skies.

9/23/2014 5:30 PM 0.09 M M M M Light drizzle through the morning hours with rain picking up mid afternoon before easing to nothing. Then it started right before update and continues right through. Broken clouds became overcast skies overnight and continues. Light and variable winds gradually increased in strength throughout the update period.
9/24/2014 5:30 PM 0.66 M M M M Light drizzle resumed just before yesterday's update time. It continued into this period gradually increasing before becoming steady light rain around 7:30 PM and staying that way through midnight before stopping early in the morning. Then light rain started again before 3:00 AM, paused again before picking up one more time for a couple of hours mid morning and then stopping. Thick overcast skies gradually broke with it being partly sunny at update time. Winds were breezy and temps mild.

9/27/2014 5:30 PM T M M M M Scattered showers diminished and ended early into this period. Overcast skies gave way to mostly clear with over 6 hours of sunshine today. Light winds and average temps.
9/28/2014 5:30 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain. Just like yesterday, today had a decent amount of overnight fog. Yesterday it burned off before noon. Today fog formed shortly after sunset and didn't burn off until middle afternoon. Very light winds and cool temps as well.
9/29/2014 5:30 PM 0.12 M M M M Precipitation most likely started as dew from heavy overnight fog. Then rain showers started mid morning ending just past noon. Some short sun breaks in the afternoon with otherwise mostly cloudy skies. Temps were mild and winds breezy.
