Rain, on and off, during much of the period, overcast throughout. As with the day before, measurement total is likely greater due to the amounts of moisture left still clinging to the side of the gauge tube; estimated amount is two or three one-hundredths.

12/30/2015 8:30 AM T 0.3 T 2.3 M Muffed the data collection. Snow falling at time of observation. After swapping outer cylinders, I brought collected snow inside to melt and measure, however the resultant amount of moisture had evaporated before it was measured. Hence the report of a trace. Snow was a light and fluffy type, could not have been more than an accumulation of a hundredth of an inch. Unable to collect melted value for total snow and ice because of the difficulty of chopping out a core sample. See tomorrow's report for more on the difficulties of collecting accurate data.
12/31/2015 8:10 AM 0.01 M M M M Snow fall lasted until approximately 11am. No measurement taken. Estimation of 3/4" accumulation melted away by radiant solar energy. Still encountering difficulty chopping out a core sample for total snow and ice. Be assured that it is still there.

5/15/2016 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M A little difficulty with today's reading; site definitely received sporadic traces of precip at various times throughout the day; these were physically and visually observed. Still, not entirely certain they add up to 0.02". We have a light frost this morning which was a fairly heavy dew before it froze. Chose to report the full reading rather than guess a revised proper total, if a revised proper total is in order.
5/16/2016 7:05 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny and breezy, just on the cool side. Nice day.

5/21/2016 5:40 AM T M M M M Very light showers -sprinkles - occurring sporadically throughout the evening starting around 4:30-5pm and lasting until at least 10:30pm; not enough to wet the ground or accumulate in gauge, but visually apparent on windshields of cars parked in yard.
5/22/2016 5:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M another beautifully sunny and cool day.
5/23/2016 5:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Beautiful weather! Sunny and warm with pleasant breeze. Heavy dew

Although it is not raining at the time of data collection, from the appearance of surrounding surfaces, it has stopped a short time before.
6/2/2016 5:10 AM 0.03 M M M M Mid-morning precip arrived between 9 and 10am. Skies cleared in the afternoon. Heavy dew this morning.

6/10/2016 5:20 AM 0.55 M M M M Clouds passing overhead dropped a trace of precip at approximately 12:40pm and then a slightly heavier tracer at 1:04pm. A short while later the rain commenced with purpose, and by 6pm 0.09" had accumulated in the gauge. The rain had stopped by that time and didn't start up again until after 10:45pm, although evidence of drizzle were observed during the evening. There were lightning flashes observed not too distant and thunder accompanied the heavy rain. No evidence of hail seen nor heard. Rain appears to halted shortly prior to data collection.

6/14/2016 5:10 AM T M M M M A trace of rain fell at 12:24pm; big, heavy drops fell for less than a minute with thunder in the distance off to the south. Skies were fairly clear to the north. There was evidence of more precip, another trace, which must have just fallen shortly before reading. Car windshields and other hard surfaces were visibly spattered with rain drops. No precip was observed during data collection. Fairly confident that there was little or no overnight precip; a small log in the smokepit was still smoldering from the night before.
6/15/2016 5:10 AM 0.73 M M M M Overnight total: There was a trace of rain that fell at 12:24pm, and again at 6:45pm. Surfaces appear as if the rain stopped shortly before data collection, everything is still dripping.

6/17/2016 5:05 AM T M M M M I'm going with a trace on this one, although it is the slightest of traces.

6/23/2016 5:15 AM 0.11 M M M M Seems like we received the proverbial drop in the bucket compared to predictions, or in this case, the rain barrel. At 11:07am, the rain began. At least that's what it seemed like. It stopped within two minutes and the sun broke out for periods of time. At 4:01pm, the rain started coming down hard. It's quite possible that precip had begun shortly before that time, but 4:01 is when it looked like the predicted storms had arrived. Again, it turned out to be merely a tease. (Sorry, no measurements on the amount that was dumped up to that time.) By 4:40pm, it was no longer raining, and spotty bouts of drizzle was occurring for the rest of the evening. It was not raining at 10pm, when I took the dog out. Pavement was dry this morning at time of reading.
6/24/2016 5:15 AM T M M M M A light mist was falling around 9am, the precip barely perceptible but just so, lasting about a half hour to forty minutes.

7/1/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain overnight and with the sky very overcast this morning, data was not collected until 7am in order to sync up this station's observation period with the rest of the system in case there was any precip between 5 and 7am. There was not. The period was comfortably warm and sunny, clouds developing in the late afternoon. Light dew.

7/5/2016 5:20 AM T M M M M Beginning around 5:45pm, a high build-up of clouds began looming closer from the southwest with all the appearances of rain approaching. At 6:27pm, a fine misting drizzle began to fall that barely wet the surfaces of concrete and wood decking here at the station. The drizzle lasted for about 30 min, gaining in intensity during that time, but never becoming more than a light drizzle that was pleasant to sit in and almost not worth covering up a glass of beer for.
7/6/2016 9:40 AM 0.49 M M M M Thunder awakened the station hands at 4:10am and it was raining pretty hard. Lightening was in the area. At the usual observation time, the decision was made (again) to wait until 7am in order the data would be in sync with the rest of the reporting system, except this time the observer fell asleep. It appears to have kept raining after 7am, so the data for this station will reflect the extended observation period. Basically, this report measures this morning's rain event
7/7/2016 5:15 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nothing in the gauge but spots on the windshields indicate that there may have been a trace of rain overnight.
7/8/2016 5:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overcast for much of the day, clearing in late evening. Heavy dew, light fog.

Heavy dew at time of observation, and fog.
8/29/2016 6:40 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A tough call this time; a heavy 0.01" of liquid in the gauge, which means it was more like 0.015". Visually, physically, observed no rainfall. Pavement dry, yet the windshield had the stains of dried rain drops on it. There is a very heavy dew this morning, so am surmising that is the source of collected moisture.

1/31/2016 2/03/2016 7:35 AM 4 0.91 M M Due to back surgery and complications, I was unable to collect data for four days. Most of the precipitation fell during the period of 2/4/2016, and it fell as rain although there was some sleet and hail that fell around midday/early afternoon. A considerably lesser amount fell 1/31/2016 late in the afternoon into the evening. A big warmup has occurred; most of the snow has melted off. I regret not having been able to collect much of that data this winter.
2/8/2016 2/10/2016 7:00 AM 3 0.10 M M Unable to retrieve Snow Depth or Core Precip data due to recent back surgery. Most of the precipitation total fell during the 2/9/2016 period, estimating that it accounts for 0.09" or more.
3/3/2016 3/04/2016 7:40 AM 2 0.03 M M Most of total fell during the the period of 3/3, with a trace of flakes falling on the morning of 3/4/2016.
4/2/2016 4/05/2016 7:00 AM 4 0.19 M M Trace amount or little more than a trace delivered during the period 4/1/2016 - 4/2/2016, with the majority of total arriving 4/2 -4/3, some, most, or all in the form of snow. No accumulation remaining by the evening of 4/4/2016.
4/9/2016 4/11/2016 7:45 AM 3 0.32 M M On again off again, on again off again, the weather just keeps rolling through in phase after phase. Wait ten minutes literally and the seasons will run the gamut. Sun. Rain. Graupel. Snow? Here come the clouds once more, dark and low, here comes the white stuff once more, rolling sheets and angry sprays rushing in different directions on disparate winds, sometimes accumulating never for long, although I'm told the snow cover from the event Friday night into Saturday lingered. A surprise to be sure, for there is a feeling of promise in the shining sun.
9/14/2016 9/16/2016 6:00 AM 3 0.03 M M It was raining at 4:45am on 9/14/2016, and continued until around 6:30am. No rain for the rest of the day on on 9/14/2016, and no rain for the period of 9/15/16.
