11/9/2015 11/15/2015 6:20 AM 7 2.93 0.0 M Wow. What a week to be away! Was keeping track remotely as to storm fronts moving through Lopez Island. A large majority of this rain fell from Thurs. Nov. 12 through Sat. Nov. 14. An intense wind storm occurred on Nov. 12th, with abundant 60 mph gusts...which may have affected (interfered, diminished) the actual raindrops from entering gauge funnel top. Interestingly enough, the typical spots in the yard/lawn were not showing signs of any inundation (puddling). While it is a lot of rain, I'm still grateful for it because the soil in some areas were still dry underneath the duff/mulch layer. It had been a rough spring-summer drought. Nice to rehydrate now!
11/17/2015 11/19/2015 5:28 AM 3 0.94 0.0 M Another big windstorm while I was away. Any time rain and winds coincide here, there is always some percentage of rainfall that never reaches the inside of the gauge...due to blowing.
