1/7/2017 7:00 AM 1.61 M M M M Altho since this was a night time event and I did not make periodic gauge checks, it appears from checking other sources nearby that this was a pretty uniform rain event over large area. Rain began near 11 p.m. with the heaviest period over the midnight hour, no lightning or wind. Now that the front has passed breezes and winds have kicked up making it feel mighty cold even tho we are not near the freezing point until tomorrow night. Personally, the winter storm cost us a long anticipated trip up to Pinehurst, NC, for a seminar weekend, as we felt the travel up there for the next few days would be hazardous.

1/22/2017 7:35 AM 2.74 M M M M Two thunderstorm lines hit us during the night - First about midnight which caused injuries and death to the east and north of us. Second around 7 this morning also causing destruction, injuries and deaths along nearly the same line as the first storm. Here in Valdosta, mostly limbs down, some power outage, etc. As of 11:30 a.m. when I read the gauge again we have 4.06 inches since the midnight storm. Flooding will result in our river basin for sure. It is still raining as I file this report.
1/23/2017 7:00 AM 2.82 M M M M Three thunderstorm lines grazed us morning, mid-day and later afternoon. The first two were very intense and some 18 people died within 20 or so miles from us. Thankfully we had mostly rain and some lightning and frontal winds to deal with. For the overall period of the storms we registered 5.66 inches and other stations were in that same range. I have never seen my lot so soggy and some standing water after the last front of the day. Lots of tree limbs to pick up of course but very thankful we were not in the direct line of those two deadly storms.

The state Ag Commissioner commented that Georgia was set to have the largest blueberry crop in the country this year, but that won't happen now. At least the bushes survived for future years.

9/10/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain from Irma yet, but getting close. This will be my last report for awhile as we are evacuating to the north. Our area has not been hit by hurricane force winds in a long time so the damage, trees down, and power outages will likely be very severe here.
9/23/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M this is my first report since 9/10/17 when we left Valdosta in the face of Irma. I did not leave my gauge out as Cat 3 was considered possible from the hurricane. It turned out to be less devastating however. Based on the local Georgia WeatherNet station there was only about 4 inches of rain here but plenty of wind, downed trees and lengthy power outages of course. Since the storm passed we have only had about 1 inch of rain since.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
10/14/2016 10/28/2016 7:00 AM 15 0.00 M M October is normally one of our driest months here, but this year is exceptional. This station has had only 0.10 for the entire month so far with no rain in sight at the moment. As you might imagine every thing is very dry unless under irrigation.
12/2/2016 12/06/2016 7:00 AM 5 2.13 M M Hopefully this was the drought breaker! After looking at other weather stations in the area after we returned home last evening I feel certain that about 90% of the precip fell in the past 24 hours. We encountered the major system while driving south from Atlanta yesterday and had to contend with steady to very heavy rainfall and one thunderstorm. The area was under a tornado watch during the night but I am not aware of that any developed

5/13/2017 5/14/2017 7:00 AM 2 0.18 M M As is often the case with scattered thunderstorms, some nearby stations were zero and others up to and inch and one half or more.
5/22/2017 6/10/2017 7:00 AM 20 4.20 M M Yes we are finally back from trip to Alaska where we enjoyed a LOT of clear weather such as Denali and the entire Alaska range being fully visible for four straight days! Certainly a significant weather event for them. The total above came in our first rainy spell of the year June 5th-8th with more coming in a few days. Very welcome and maybe most of the wildfires were knocked down in Florida and the Okee Swamp.
7/22/2017 7/25/2017 7:00 AM 4 2.02 M M Upon discovering the 2.02 in the gauge upon returning from a weekend out of town I looked at other stations in the county and an oral source and it appears that most of the 2 inches fell Friday afternoon 7/21. {revised from previous report)
9/11/2017 9/22/2017 7:00 AM 12 4.69 M M Before leaving in the face of Hurricane Irma I brought the rain gauge inside. This precip report of rain from Irma and a few other days was constructed from a Georgia Weathernet station about 3 miles from us and I feel this is very close to what our gauge would have collected.
