12/17/2015 9:00 AM M T M T M I could not empty the cylinder for the rain gauge because it was frozen to the post. It appeared that there may have been only a trace or so of water in it.
2/22/2016 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The gauge is empty.

2/29/2016 3:00 PM 0.02 M M M M After 9 am yesterday (Sunday), first there was a light rain, then some sleet, and then snow. I am changing this to 0.02 because it was between 0.02 and 0.03 when I read it and I was thinking that some probably evaporated because of the sunshine. (Sorry...I have been preoccupied.)
3/1/2016 9:00 AM T M M M M I shouldn't wait so long to report. I think it was Tuesday that I found a trace in the gauge.

7/6/2016 9:00 AM 3.11 M M M M Finally a rain that makes up for all the 0.00 and trace readings of the past month. Too bad that it is so inconsistent...not good for gardens. It is really interesting that the second rain gauge that I recently set up had a reading of 2.88. I am using the reading from the first rain gauge because I have been using it all along.

7/24/2016 9:00 AM 1.00 M M M M It seemed to be more than an inch while it was coming down, so I was surprised to see the one inch reading.
7/28/2016 9:00 AM 0.94 M M M M This was the same for both rain gauges for a change.
8/4/2016 9:15 AM 0.96 M M M M The other gauge read 0.94. All of this in about 45 minutes. I thought about reporting this tomorrow, but the majority of the precipitation ended so close to 9 am that I went ahead and reported it today.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
10/28/2015 10/29/2015 9:00 AM 2 0.82 M M There were snow flurries but nothing stayed on the ground.
11/1/2015 11/03/2015 9:00 AM 3 0.05 M M Since there was no rain on 11/2 or 11/3, obviously this reading was on 11/1 but I was too busy to deal with the rain gauge until today. Also, since there probably was some evaporation, and since the reading was above 0.04, I figured that it actually had been 0.05 on the 1st, not that it really matters I guess.
11/20/2015 12/02/2015 9:00 AM 13 0.76 M M Since this is over a longer period of time, it is possible that some of the precipitation in the gauge could have evaporated. The snow in the gauge melted completely for this reading.

1/22/2016 2/20/2016 5:00 PM 30 2.16 M M I had not read the rain gauge since December, but this program does not permit such a long period of time, so anyway this is the accumulation that was in the gauge since December. It is what it is!
3/6/2016 3/14/2016 3:00 PM 9 0.06 M M The deck was wet this morning but I doubt that the total could have been as much as 0.06, but then maybe it was. Just to be on the safe side I am reporting 0.06 today but it could have been in combination with precipitation from the last week, that is if there actually was any. I have been preoccupied, sorry.
3/27/2016 3/28/2016 11:00 AM 2 0.22 M M Most fell early Sunday the 27th.
