12/5/2016 7:00 AM 0.38 3.5 M 4.0 0.38 ESTIMATES INCLUDED. Snowed lightly starting in the early morning, really got going around 7 a.m. Did not take gauge down due to timing. Today's TOTAL snow depth was 3.8" and yesterday's snow depth was .4" so the theoretical total new snow depth would be 3.4", but it was heavy snow and self-compression probably made the original .4" flatten down.

4/27/2017 8:00 AM 1.23 M M M M 0.45" fell yesterday as a continuation of the early morning storm. The rest of the rain fell overnight, and stopped sometime in the last hour. I revised yesterday's Significant Weather report with hourly increments for the morning storm but not for this overnight storm. Most of the day yesterday was overcast and windy, cooling in the afternoon.

Please consider my data to be "preliminary/unreliable" for this report. Majority of rain fell between and 7 a.m. Intense rainfall at about 5 a.m. (loud enough to wake me up). Very active, loud thunder and lightning. Awesome storm!

This all fell within that 20 minutes, with the possible exception of some stray raindrops over the next 10 minutes. Semi-continuous rumbly thunder accompaniment, and high winds that have taken down some minor limbs in trees across the street.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
11/8/2016 11/12/2016 9:00 AM 5 0.01 M M Such a slight increase in water level that I suspect it was all condensation from heavy fogs and dew, and if reported individually by day it would not have registered. (It was election week.) Today was the first day I needed a jacket outside, and then only in evening when not moving very much. Far too warm for November--50 degrees, shirtsleeves weather for Wisconsin. Senator Imhoff would be able to throw a mudball on the floor of the Senate in his conversation about climate change.
