12/22/2015 7:00 AM T M M M M Light mist at 1500 hrs 12/21/15 but no accumulation in the gauge.

1/18/2016 7:00 AM T M M M M Would have thought snow accumulation throughout 1/17 (about 1/4") would leave more than a few drops of water when melted. Perhaps snow sublimated in frigid, dry air with plenty of sunshine....

Wind picked up and out of the north...no rain yet and, from the weather track, it may well miss me. Sparks flying from the embers but fortunately had a big black line around the larger pieces of wood. Watering can on individual logs and added a soil covering so they'll smolder without sending out sparks. When you're on the fire department, it doesn't look good if you have to call in assistance!

5/11/2016 7:00 AM 0.88 M M M M Given the duration of the thunderstorm plus small hail for about 10 minutes, I really expected more rain. However, it will be difficult to mow with all the soft spots and more precip later this week means I may have to call in the manatees.

7/3/2016 7:30 AM 1.36 M M M M About one inch of this precip came Saturday morning, the remainder in a slow, go back to bed rain that was meant to be slept through...and I did, missing the 7:00 report time.

7/11/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Grass finally got mowed. Fortunately, high temperatures mean plants quickly take up what doesn't evaporate.
7/12/2016 7:00 AM T M M M M Dark skies and cells to the west promise rain...just a few drops at reporting time but gusty winds and real rain 15 minutes later. Planted some cucumbers and hyacinth beans...was amazed that after all the rain last week the soil really wasn't wet...on the drying side of moist.
7/13/2016 7:00 AM 0.81 M M M M Lots of gusty winds in yesterday morning's storm. Saw five of our electric co-op service trucks out to service downed power lines.
7/14/2016 7:00 AM 0.60 M M M M Surprised there wasn't more rain given what seemed to be a good rainfall on the roof earlier this morning. .40 of this was delivered during the afternoon storm yesterday.
7/15/2016 7:00 AM T M M M M a film at the bottom of the rain gauge. We had significant precip 20 miles south in Stockton yesterday afternoon.

8/7/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Yesterday had lots of showers/rain just south of here. Hoping system on radar produces some here today.
8/8/2016 7:00 AM 0.13 M M M M SOOOOO glad I pushed and got all the nut orchards mowed yesterday as forecasted rain was merely a whimper of scattered drops. Even managed to clean under the mower deck and change the blades....which will probably be needed! The cucumbers will be very happy with this precip (although the way it looks on radar, the system is having difficulty generating any enthusiasm).

8/31/2016 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Robbed again. Heard distant thunder much of early morning hours but barely enough rain to dampen the ground. Yesterday afternoon there were big puddles on the road 2 miles south of me...but nothing here.
9/1/2016 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M We really do need the precipitation...seem to be under a dome where rain falls all around us.

9/9/2016 7:00 AM 2.96 M M M M Hope J Highway to Stockton isn't flooded out at the Birdsong Conservation Area bridge as I don't have a lot of extra time to take alternate road to work.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
10/2/2015 10/05/2015 7:00 AM 4 T M M Trace is from light mist this morning...basically fog droplets. We could really use a good soaking rain
10/16/2015 10/20/2015 7:00 AM 5 0.03 M M Certainly hope rain forecast for later this week materializes.
10/24/2015 10/25/2015 7:00 AM 2 0.02 M M Maybe the next round of rain will be more helpful.
1/7/2016 1/14/2016 7:00 AM 8 0.46 M M
1/20/2016 1/27/2016 7:00 AM 8 0.00 M M I'm sure we had some precipitation but perhaps it all evaporated since there's no funnel on the top to reduce the loss.

5/16/2016 5/20/2016 7:00 AM 5 1.44 M M Looks like we'll get a few days of clear weather and then back to wet. Full speed ahead on grafting and mowing!

8/1/2016 8/04/2016 7:00 AM 4 1.02 M M At least .7" of this occurred on the morning of 7/31, after the reporting period for that morning. High temperatures are rapidly depleting this moisture.
8/10/2016 8/17/2016 7:00 AM 8 0.04 M M I suppose I should be grateful that we didn't get more rain as the grass definitely needed mowing....but the garden definitely needed a deep watering as well. Hope to finish catch up today.
9/17/2016 9/21/2016 11:00 AM 5 0.88 M M Likely fell during the 9/17-18 period
