Morning flurries seemed to be 'noisy' (but could have been my knees). Last night a 'Cheshire Cat smile' moon.

(If I were a poet I could think of better words.) Yesterday H 32, L 12.
2/1/2015 7:00 AM 0.34 2.7 0.50 3.5 0.79 temperature is 23, NE windy. Can't always tell if it's snowing or blowing; feels more like rain but is definitely snow. Gusty from time to time. This is a 'wet' snow insteasd of a powdery one. Shoveled earlier and looking out now can't tell where I shoveled. Hope the electric lines stay up!! Yesterday H 33, L 18.
2/2/2015 7:00 AM 0.32 7.3 0.80 10.5 1.06 temperature is 2. All I can say about yesterday is WOW! Depth ranges from 4" to 20" in yard, not counting lovely sculptured drifts. Walk in yard, suddenly step in knee-deep snow and end up doing snow angels without meaning to. Shoveled several times yesterday to keep up. But electric lines stayed up and gas furnace kept working; life is good. Yesterday H 25, L 10.
2/3/2015 7:00 AM T T T 10.5 1.09 temperature is 7. One or two flurries around 06:30. Beautiful bright full moon out earlier this morning. Yesterday sunny through 17:00; a gray-blue sunset. Did anyone notice that when going on-line to NOAA around 02:00 this morning they had today as Tues. Feb. 4th? For a moment I though I'd slipped a groove in the time-space continuum.

So far this month we've had 0.74 gauge and 11.4 inches of new snow; in all of January we had 0.76 gauge and 11.1 inches of new snow. How exciting Winter is. Yesterday H 21, L 2.

Averaged total depth from bare spots through regular snow. Walking on the snow yesterday left water spots; the snow 'squished' into water. The SWE went way up from yesterday. Yesterday H 43, L 18.

2/11/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 T T 6.0 1.17 temperature is 27, cloudy. Total snow taken from a different part of yard. Shoveled yesterday to clear up a couple of spots for parking and this snow is heavy.

Heard it was 54 in Round Lake Beach yesterday. Yesterday H 34, L 11.
2/12/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 0.2 0.01 6.0 1.16 temperature is 3, sun rising but cloudy and windy. Some sort of precipitation yesterday around 08:30 a.m.; wasn't sure if it was freezing drizzle or light rain but it was cold. Light snow after midnight, this time measurable. Rather icy out there because of the melting and refreezing. Yesterday H 33, L 13.
2/13/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 6.0 1.19 temperature is 0, no wind. You can actually walk on top of the snow for a few steps without sinking in; it's that frozen. No new precipitation yesterday. Sunny all day with W and/or NW/N winds. Yesterday H 21, L 3.
2/14/2015 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 6.0 1.21 temperatures is 12, very windy. Temperature dropped 10 degrees since 02:00 this morning. Getting harder to dig out snow samples; back to using crowbar. No new precipitation to report. Yesterday H 21, L -1.
2/15/2015 7:00 AM T 0.1 0.01 6.0 1.20 temperature is -6. Yesterday three bands of snow showers, but so windy snow was blowing around and hard to see. Results were: T/T, 0.1/0.01, T/T. Best measurement because this snow came to visit but not to stay. Total snow on ground not going anywhere soon. Yesterday H 22, L -2.
2/16/2015 7:00 AM T 0.1 T 6.0 1.25 temperature is 5, cloudy. Yesterday cloudy most of the day. Had a brief light snowfall around 19:00 yesterday (no relation to the song of the same name). Yesterday H 16, L -6.
2/17/2015 7:00 AM T T T 5.5 1.17 temperature is 14, cloudy, a passing flurry or two. Yesterday some flurries 07:40 through 08:30, but no accumulation. Partly sunny while flurrying, but then turned cloudy and stayed cloudy. Total snow finally went down but melted core still up there. Old snow is frozen on top, grainy in the middle (like powdered laundry detergent), and completely iced at the ground. Yesterday H 17, L 5.
2/18/2015 7:00 AM T T T 5.5 1.21 temperature is -2. Light snow yesterday from 08:30 to 08:41; resulting in nothing measurable. Light snow sometime after midnight and before 05:00 this morning. Only resulted in a very light dusting. Hardly anything on snowboard and less than 0.01 in gauge. Eventually all these T's will probably add up to 0.1. Yesterday H 19, L 4.

2/20/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 5.5 1.19 temperature is -5. Took total snow from different area. Was walking to regular area and tripped; since I was already down decided this area was as good as any other. No grainy snow now; all is hard-frozen and tricky to walk on. Still using crowbar but thinking jackhammer would work better. Yesterday H 14, L -12.
2/21/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 0.5 0.02 5.5 1.17 temperature is 14, cloudy. Flurries 09:19 yesterday morning; then snow from 10:00 to 14:00. Turning cloudy with W/SW winds. Light dusting of snow after midnight. Yesterday H 16, L -5.

Measured what I could considering the wind; snowboard partly protected. Thought we would have had a higher amount of snow. Didn't cause any problems though. Yesterday H 31, L 2.
2/26/2015 7:00 AM 0.13 1.6 0.14 4.5 1.23 temperature is 6, cloudy. Snow finally ended about 05:23. No flurry or two this morning; was still snowing. This snow feels 'gritty' underfoot; makes it easier to walk on the ice now. For some reason the airplanes have been flying rather low; thought one earlier this morning was landing across the street. Yesterday H 23, L 12.
2/27/2015 7:00 AM T T T 4.5 1.26 temperature is -10, winter-bright sunrise. T is for those pesky flurries; they came back around 08:15 yesterday morning for about 10 minutes. Yesterday sunny, even during the flurries, NE breezy. Bright 1/2 moon out last night. Yesterday H 19, L -3.

Began with fat, happy flakes, then changed to heavier, not-so-happy snow. Yesterday we had something we haven't had in a long time - puddles!! Sunshine was warm even though we stayed under freezing. Yesterday H 30, L 5. (07:27, thunder?)
3/4/2015 7:00 AM 0.11 0.2 0.10 5.5 1.36 temperature is 11, cloudy, wind from the West.

3/5/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 5.0 1.47 temperature is -5, sun out. Took total snow from different area; this has more snow and less ice, and the snow is the 'laundry detergent' granular kind. Yesterday sunny late morning and remainder of day. Moon out again early this morning, a very bright moon. Yesterday H 22, L 6.
3/6/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 4.5 1.25 temperature is -3, bright sun rising. Yesterday sunny. That gorgeous moon out again last night and early this morning. Yesterday H 18, L -5.

3/8/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.0 1.11 temperature is 25, some light fog, moon still out. Yesterday sunny with a mostly West but sometime SW breeze. Took off the extensions from the downspouts and cleared the ice out of them. Much more open ground now and the dogs have discovered mud. Spring must be near. Severe thunderstorms round the corner. Yesterday H 43, L 15.
3/9/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.5 1.03 temperature is 22, heavy overcast. Yesterday cloudy. Lots of snow melt. Dark yesterday morning and this morning. Did we set our clocks back by mistake? Yesterday H 42, L 24.
3/10/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.0 1.07 temperature is 31 with a very dense fog. Yesterday was sunny and nice all day. All the snow is off the roof now. I was hoping the evergreens damaged by last winter would get better this winter, but it doesn't look good for some of them. Yesterday H 46, L 21.
3/11/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.0 0.98 temperature is 27, foggy although not as dense as yesterday morning. Yesterday foggy through 15:00, when we had sunshine for a few minutes, then cloudy. Fog back at 17:00 and stayed with us. Slippery walking because now we have water on top of, and underneath, the snow. Yesterday H 44, L 31.
3/12/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.0 0.76 temperature is 30. Yesterday turned sunny by 09:00 and actually felt warm in the sun in the afternoon. Quite a lot of the snow has melted off. Average still hovers around 1.0 (actual 0.8), but most probably the rest of the snow will disappear today, leaving just a trace for tomorrow. Lots of stars and the half-moon out earlier. Yesterday H 50, L 26.
3/13/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T T temperature is 32, cloudy. This is a blue sky morning; medium blue sky, dark blue clouds. Was uncertain to call remaing snow 0.5 or T, but decided on T because I doubt if what is left on ground would melt to fill a gallon bucket. I would estimate that over 98% of snow is gone.

Tornado sirens went off and on from 6 p.m. through 8 p.m. or so. Thunder and rain stopping around 10:30 p.m., lightning continued for somewhat longer. What a night.

5/18/2015 7:00 AM 0.06 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 63, sunny, breezy. Yesterday humidity tried to come in and sun tried to come out; cool air stayed around, sun finally came out 15:56 but air still cool. Severe t-storm warnings and special weather statement came to naught. Either Mother Nature ignored the weathermen/women and did her own thing or the happy pink cloud gave the unhappy lonely storm cloud a McCafe. Who knows?

Have no idea why tornado watch last night; no fronts running into each other; no lightning, thunder, strong winds. Lots of heavy rain; hard to see while driving (grandson HS graduation in Elburn), and, for some reason, fog at times. Left Elburn aboutn 08:30 p.m. because saw warning on TV and was worried. That will teach me. Home about 10:30 p.m.and, other than white-knuckle driving with the heavy rain, no other indications of any severe storms. Today a somber and reflective day remembering the members of American armed forces who have fallen in the line of duty. Yesterday H 64, L 58.

Sirens went off last night; don't know why, radar didn't show anything except possible hail in Belvidere and just South of there. Not raining now; just the branches dripping. Yesterday H 79, L 55.

7/1/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 54, cloudy. Was out for five minutes but the mosquitoes ganged up on me and I came back inside. Evidently Off! is a suggestion, not a command. Internet problems again. Yesterday started out cloudy, turned sunny for most of the day. Moon out last night. Yesterday H 74, L 57. June stats: Gauge 6.95; Avg. H., 76; Avg. L., 56.

7/6/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 63, hazy. These must be those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. No precipitation but we could certainly wring some out of the air. Nothing dries on the line; not enough breeze and air too moist. Yesterday H 83, L 61.

7/8/2015 6:30 AM T 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 48, cloudy. T is for the misty drizzle through 08:30 yesterday morning. Enough to wet face and glasses but not enough to measure in gauge. Most of yesterday mix of sun and clouds with an assortment of Northerly winds. You'd think it was chilly enough to chase the mosquitoes away, but they just won't go.

7/11/2015 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 61, humid. Yesterday a success!! Don't know if the mosquitoes finally gave up or the mosquito repellent finally kicked in, but I finished cutting the grass and most of the weeding without the continuous heavy onslaught of those darn bugs. Wore long sleeves and a hat; it was humid and hot. Yesterday H 81, L 56.
7/12/2015 7:00 AM 0.17 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 64. It was foggy earlier but now cloudy and dreary. Yesterday sprinkles 14:43; then light rain by 15:30 through 19:45. Yesterday H 74, L 59.

Normal puddles at street corners and low-lying sidewalks; trees still up; even, so far anyway, electric still up. Yesterday humid, mix of sun and clouds. Yesterday H 81, L 64.
7/14/2015 7:00 AM 0.92 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 64, partly sunny. After the morning storm yesterday a deliciously cool E breeze through about 16:00; then S and W breezy, and humidity crept in. Storm started 20:42; CTC lightning and thunder was continuous through 22:17. Hail 21:07 for about seven minutes. Very windy at first (enough to sway trees), then just 'breezy' (just branches moving). Heavy rain most of the time. The lightning storm was impressive. It just never stopped. Thunder sometimes sounded like motorcycles. Walked around the neighborhood this morning. After all this only a few small branches down. Electric never went off either. Sump pump started cycling 21:32; stopped by 22:00. Yesterday H 85, L 63.
7/15/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 52, very nice outside. Lots of stars out last night. The thunderstorms forecast for yesterday afternoon/evening never appeared (the weather people have been quiet about that). Yesterday was a pretty good day. More battle with mosquitoes; was really tempted to run screaming across the yard, "help; get them off me!", but didn't; instead just kept swatting my head and all around me, looking pretty foolish. What fun this is. Yesterday H 80, L 60.
7/16/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 59, cloudy. No rain yet. Yesterday sunny for most of the day, comfortable temperatures. Yesterday H 77, L 52.

Had a cool SE breeze most of the morning (after the pop-up shower around 07:42 a.m., resulting in T). Heavy rain, CTC lightning, thunder, massive clouds starting right around 13:30. One huge cloud we actually watched rise higher, get wider, mushrooming. Tornado warnings and T-storm warnings in Wisc. The heavy storm here went on to tornado warning in Harvard.

Last week, in a weak moment, watched the weather report for this week. Monday and Tuesday were supposed to be dry, not humid. Now Monday and Tuesday forecast changed; humid and rain. Don't you love it!?! Which is why I don't usually bother with the weather forecasts. I just check the radar when it feels like a storm coming. Have to do battle with the weeds today anyway. Bought more OFF!. Yesterday H 78, L 67.
7/21/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 59, sunny, feeling a little humid. Yesterday cloudy, SW breezy. Became W windy; pop-up shower 14:33, ending 14:40. Gauge had just barely 0.01.

7/22/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 58, sunny. Yesterday was sunny, N, W and then NW breeze. About 10:00 a.m. or so the humidity just left and it was a very comfortable day. Humidity crept back in later in the afternoon, but the morning was just beautiful. Yesterday H 78, L 58.

7/29/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temp.is 73, overcast. Rain seems to have gone around us
7/30/2015 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 59, no humidity. Yesterday had to use the phone to send in report and thought I hit the space bar but instead must have hit enter.

Yesterday H 83, L 66.
