8/10/2015 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M I was surprised to see that the rain was actually more than a trace. Rained very lightly a few times during the day, but never very much. I guess it just adds up!
8/11/2015 8:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Not rounded - really was 0.10". Grass and plants in the veggie garden and the flower gardens starting to get dry. But many trees losing their leaves because they have a fungus from the earlier wet weather (cottonwoods and hawthorns).

2/1/2015 2/05/2015 8:00 AM 5 0.73 M M We were not at home for several days, including the days of the "big snow" in the Chicago area. When we got home, there was quite a bit of snow in the gauge, but we don't know if there was any additional snow on the top that blew off. We brought the gauge in, waited until the snow and ice melted, and measured 0.73". Not sure if we had actually gotten more than that, so I'm putting this disclaimer in the notes. Not sure if this data will be useful to you, but we tried!
