Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/1/2019 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Just started raining as I walked to take 8:00 reading. So the small amount (0.01”) in guage must be from a shower we had last night. As I am recording this, the shower has already stopped - I hope we get more - we need it badly. 61 degrees this morning and very still.
10/2/2019 8:00 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 I didn’t realize how little rain there was yesterday (0.02”). I guess it only rained for several minutes. Everything is still extremely dry. We really need some rain. And here it is bright and sunny this morning - and warm (67). Very still. There was some dew on grass.
10/3/2019 8:00 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 There was a shower yesterday afternoon and it rained early this morning (but stopped now), but I thought there would be more accumulation (only 0.02”). We need so much more rain. Yesterday the temperature got into the low 80s and this morning it is 49. Still cloudy - hope we get more rain.
10/4/2019 7:00 AM 0.39 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Finally a decent rain - 0.39”. Had to read the gauge early this morning because I’ll be out rest of day. But the skies are clear now and it hasn’t been raining for awhile, so the reading would be the same at my usual 8:00. Very still this morning and 50 degrees.
10/5/2019 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 There was actually 0.01” water in the gauge, but I think it was dew. The dew is very heavy and there is some frost as well. Also, lots of condensation on gauge. It is only 37 degrees - brrrr! Clear and sunny and very still. Yesterday was quite windy - leaves scattered everywhere, but still plenty on the trees. Color is gradually coming, but still lots of green.
10/6/2019 8:20 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Some dew on the grass, but none on gauge. Cloudy and 47 degrees. Very still. Yesterday was sunny and clear, but never got to 60 degrees. Still there were a surprising number of boats roaring around the lake - one last ride before putting them up for the winter perhaps!
10/7/2019 8:00 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 We got a small amount of rain (0.02”) I think early this morning because surfaces are still wet. Cloudy and breezy this morning, and warm - 66 degrees.
10/8/2019 8:00 AM 0.45 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another good rain! Most of it came in the evening or overnight. Not to cold today - 54 degrees. Cloudy, but not raining now. Foliage colors are somewhat muted, but here and there is a brilliant maple!
10/9/2019 8:10 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Looks like it has just recently started sprinkling a little. Very light rain. Cloudy, 54 degrees, no wind. It seems as though the rain we’ve gotten over last week or so is just not catching us up after being so dry. Only a couple of times was there over a tenth of an inch. And those were intermittent over a day or night and not steady, soaking rains.
10/10/2019 8:00 AM 0.48 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another good rain - 0.48”. Actually saw puddles accumulate during the rain yesterday. Still, there was not so much that there is standing water today. It is not raining this morning, but it is cloudy, 52 degrees and still.
10/11/2019 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 I don’t think the Trace in the cylinder is dew as there is not much on the grass and there is a breeze this morning. However, not sure when it might have rained - maybe a shower at night. Yesterday afternoon the clouds cleared out and it was beautifully sunny before clouding up again in before sunset.

10/17/2019 8:00 AM 2.76 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 That was quite a storm! Driving was very hazardous in the early evening - rain was falling hard and there was standing water in many places. Rain fell hard for a long time which is why there was 2.76” in the gauge this morning! Not raining now - hasn’t rained for awhile. Very windy, but we have power and I haven’t seen any large branches or trees down around the house. It is cloudy now, but there are some blue patches. Temperature in high 40’s.
10/18/2019 8:00 AM 0.09 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 What a surprise - as I walked up to the gauge, the liquid in it was a pale magenta! I wondered if a bug had drowned in the rain water, but when I took the funnel off, there was what looked like a small blueberry lodged in the hole! We had strong winds all day yesterday, but I’m thinking a bird dropped it. It didn’t keep any rain from trickling through - just colored it. There were a few, brief showers yesterday which accounted for the 0.09” in the inner cylinder. This morning is sunny - it is shining brightly on the hill across the lake. We are still in the shadow of our hill. There is a bit of a breeze, but nothing like the wind yesterday!

10/22/2019 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Yesterday was a beautiful day - clear, sunny. Although many trees lost their leaves in last weeks storm, there are still some brilliantly colored ones around.

It sure looks like rain, but forecasts differ on whether it will or not.
10/23/2019 8:25 AM 0.56 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 More than a half-inch of rain (0.56”). That was good, but it all soaked in and our brook is still dry, so it seems like we are still in a deficit. Sunny this morning and 50 degrees.

11/19/2019 8:00 AM 0.71 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 The rain was so light yesterday, I am surprised how much accumulated. Temperatures above freezing, so no ice or snow. The sun is trying to come out this morning, but pretty heavy cloud cover right now. No wind. The lake looks like glass.

12/2/2019 8:00 AM 0.76 0.7 0.24 0.8 0.17 Combination of snow and freezing rain/sleet on the ground. Right now there is light snow falling with maybe some rain mixed in. The roads are clear as the crews worked all evening, but not many cars going by. There is ice accretion on bushes and trees and other surfaces. I tried measuring and looks like 0.02”. First time for measuring cores and snow depths this season - I feel a little rusty and it took awhile to get everything melted. I’ll get better as season goes on - if we have more snow!!
12/3/2019 8:00 AM 0.34 4.3 0.42 5.5 M The snow started in earnest after dark yesterday and it kept on snowing pretty heavily for awhile. Ended up with 5.5” on the ground. Heavy wet snow that is sticking to branches - looks like a winter wonderland.
12/4/2019 8:00 AM T T M 4.5 M Slight trace of snow in gauge and on the snow board. There were a few flakes in the air when I went down to check gauge. Cloudy and still. Temperature around 30.
12/5/2019 8:05 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.5 M Nothing in the gauge, although the outside was heavily frosted. Still snow on the ground - 3.5” but nothing new. Right around freezing this morning and a bit of wind. Sunny with a few clouds moving in.

12/7/2019 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.0 M No new snow nor rain to report. Cold this morning - 22 degrees. The remaining snow on the ground is very icy and crunchy. Around the edges of buildings and under trees the snow is gone, but there is still a coverage of about 2.0” in 90% of our yard.
12/8/2019 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.5 0.00 No new precipitation to report. Quite cold this morning (14 degrees). Heavy frost on gauge and bird feeders, but most of ground is still covered in snow.

12/9/2019 8:00 AM 0.20 0.0 0.00 1.0 0.26 Currently raining pretty heavily and 37 degrees. Not icy, but also not melting the remaining snow very fast. There is still about 3/4 of our yard with snow cover and the average depth is 1.0”. Also a bit foggy can’t see the lake at all.
12/10/2019 8:00 AM 0.82 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Rained on and off most of the day yesterday - sometimes coming down quite hard. This morning is cloudy, but no rain. Breezy and warm (53 degrees).
12/11/2019 8:00 AM 0.59 4.0 0.38 4.5 M The gauge had a “collar” of snow on the top, although the level of snow inside the gauge was well below that. I slapped the top with my snow swatter - I think I saw that in one of the videos. So, I’m not sure if it is an accurate catch. Also, when I went to melt the snow, there was a layer of ice in the bottom of the gauge below the snow. I have got to get more efficient at this as it seems to take so long to get all the measurments. It is cloudy this morning and there were a few flakes in the air when I took the measurements at 8:00.
12/12/2019 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.5 M No precipitation to report. Colder this morning - 19 degrees. sunny and clear. Yesterday was a beautiful day and a gorgeous moon at night. I don’t think it got above freezing yesterday, but with the sun, snow did melt.
12/13/2019 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.5 M No new precipitation. Still 2.5” snow on the ground. 27 degrees this morning. No wind. Yesterday was sunny - the light on the snow was quite pretty. But too cold for much melting.

12/17/2019 8:00 AM 0.28 0.5 0.25 1.0 0.19 Sleet and freezing rain this morning. It looks like earlier there was some snow also. Fortunately, you can walk on the grassy areas because it breaks through and is not hard and slick. Schools all closed, no sign of anyone driving on our back roads. Temperature is only 28 degrees now. In the gauge was a block of ice. The accumulation on my snow board was 0.5”, but it was some snow mixed with ice and sleet. I entered it under new snow, but not sure that is correct? Something is blocking me from entering melted core of new snow. Value is 0.25.
12/18/2019 8:00 AM 0.22 T T 0.5 M Quite an icy mess out there, but beautiful with the sun shining on it. Thank goodness for YakTrax or I never would have gotten down to the gauge this morning! There is 0.5” of ice on the ground with a trace of graupel on it. My snow board has 0.01” ice coating it also with a trace of graupel. I haven’t been able to get it off yet. There is ice accretion on the branches of 0.5”. The gauge had ice in it.
12/19/2019 8:00 AM 0.01 0.3 M 1.0 M Very little snow in gauge, but enough to measure. Very cold his morning - 10 degrees. Still icy on the ground with a dusting of snow over it. Another YakTrax morning!
12/20/2019 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.0 M No new precipitation to report. Cold this morning (17) with some wind. Same amount of ice/snow on the ground as yesterday - 1.0”. No melting at these temperatures! Still some ice on some of the branches so it is still a pretty landscape.
12/21/2019 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.5 M No precipitation, but still snow/ice on the ground (0.5’). At least it is a little less, but it doesn’t get warm enough to really melt - maybe just blew away. Only 15 degrees this morning. No wind today. Looks like the lake might be beginning to ice over.
12/22/2019 8:15 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.5 M No precipitation. Still 0.5” of snow/ice on the ground. Have over the lake surface. Not as cold this morning - 20 degrees. Still. Sunny, with some clouds. Guage had thick frost on it this morning.
12/23/2019 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.5 M Readings really were taken at 8:00, but I forgot to enter them earlier. There was no precipitation to report. There was frost on the snow board and the outside of the gauge. There is still 0.,5” of snow/ice on the ground. It was already 30 degrees at 8:00, so hopefully we will finally get some melting. It is still a treacherous walk to the gauge and I am still using the YakTrax.
12/24/2019 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M No precipitation to report. There is still a trace of icy snow on the ground in patches, but much melted in yesterday’s warm temps. This morning it is 34 degrees, but some of the icy spots got worse overnight - slicker.
12/25/2019 8:15 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M No precipitation to report. There is still a trace of ice on the ground in patches. There was frost on the gauge and on the snowboard as well as on open patches of ground. Although a little warmer yesterday and above freezing, it was not enough to get rid of the remaining ice. Sunny this morning and 25 degrees.
12/26/2019 8:20 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M Nothing in gauge, but lots of frost on outside. Frost on the snowboard and on the open patches of grass.

12/31/2019 8:00 AM 0.82 0.5 0.30 1.0 M Very strange storm at about 4:00 pm yesterday. Thunder and lightning and then heavy sleet followed by snow. Temperature was right around freezing and it left a layer of ice/snow on everything. It ended before 5:00, but rained more after. This morning there was rain and some slushy ice in the gauge. There was still some ice/snow on the ground and snow board as well. It is 35 now and partly sunny. When the storm hit in early evening, it took people by surprise. The plows didn’t get out for another half hour or so - on our small road which is a hill. We saw several people sliding on it.
1/1/2020 8:10 AM T T M T M Happy new year and decade! There was a trace of water in the gauge this morning - not frozen although it is 30 degrees. There was a trace of snow on snowboard - very minimal. Maybe it blew there, but it looked like on the ground there was a trace of new snow also in the icy depressions left from yesterday. The ground is not completely covered in snow/ice - some places there is almost half an inch, some places 0.2” and other places completely bare. I decided to report it as a trace averaged across the whole landscape.

Yesterday afternoon we had two separate snow squalls go through. They were very dramatic lots of wind and snow blowing sideways. Nothing accumulated however.
1/10/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Cloudy and not as cold this morning (32). Some wind.
1/11/2020 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Warm this morning (50) and cloudy.
1/12/2020 8:00 AM 0.22 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Rain had stopped by 8:00 when I checked the gauge, but still cloudy and very windy. I can see the end of the clouds over the lake to NW. Warm - 56 degrees. Feels almost balmy! Yesterday temperatures were in the mid sixties in the afternoon.
1/13/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. This morning it is cloudy and 34 degrees. Big change from yesterday - it was in mid-60’s in afternoon and sunny although a lot of wind. No wind this morning.
1/14/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Very small trace of precipitation in gauge. Must be from last evening when it was misting. This morning it is very foggy - can’t see the lake at all. Temperature is a bit above freezing - 35. This is such dreary weather. Would love to see a beautiful snowstorm, but it is not to be - nothing in forecast except rain.
1/15/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another morning with a trace of precipitation in gauge. Sunny this morning and above freezing - 36. Lots of condensation on the outside of gauge.
1/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.22 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Some precipitation to report from overnight rains. This morning it is partly sunny and windy. 41 degrees.
1/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Very cold this morning - 13 degrees and windy. Sunny and clear.
1/18/2020 8:22 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Cloudy this morning and cold - 16 degrees. No wind today. Waiting for the snow to start.
1/19/2020 8:00 AM 0.46 3.4 0.48 3.5 M Snow started about 2:30 pm yesterday and ended about 10:00 pm yesterday. This morning is sunny and clear with a little breeze. Temp 33 degrees so I guess the snow won’t be around long.
1/20/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.5 0.28 No precipitation to report today. The high yesterday was about 40 and some of the snow did melt, especially where cleared. But this morning the temperature is 13 degrees with a wind and the remaining snow is very icy and crunches underfoot. It is sunny though.
1/21/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.5 0.29 No new precipitation to report. Still very cold (14), but sunny. The sun didn’t melt much of the snow on the ground yesterday - still 2.5” left. From here, it doesn’t look like the lake has ice on it, but maybe around the shoreline it does.
1/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.5 0.38 Sunny and cold (13) again this morning. Frost on the outside of gauge, but nothing in it. No new snow. Snow on the ground is very crunchy and not at all fluffy. There is still 2.5” on the ground, but melted it had a higher water equivalent than yesterday (unless I made a mistake in “cutting the donut”).
1/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.5 M No new precipitation. Still 2.5” of old snow on the ground - hard and crusty. Also still quite cold 16 degrees. Sunny and clear. Looks like the lake has a thin a layer of ice now.
1/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.5 M There is still 2.5” of hard snow on the ground. It has a crust now. Yesterday the temperature reached about 40, but it doesn’t seem to have melted the snow. The day had started sunny and quite cold, but it clouded over and warmed up. The lake still looks frozen, although I’m sure its a thin sheet of ice.
1/25/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.5 M Yesterday the temperature was near 50 degrees, so we finally had some melting of the remaining snow. There are a few bare spots under trees, e.g., but the average remaining depth is 1.5”. There was frost on the snowboard, but the gauge had condensation on it. However, no new precipitation, yet. It is supposed to rain later and should probably clear out the rest of the snow.
1/26/2020 8:25 AM 1.46 0.0 0.00 T M Rained hard in the afternoon for awhile. We had some flooding in our yard - water into our garage and pooling up in large puddles beside it. Everything subsided though once the rain stopped. After all that rain, there is still a trace of snow and ice in spots. I almost slipped following the remains of my tracks from previous days. But there are also large bare spots.
1/27/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M No precipitation to report. There is still a trace of snow around, although less than yesterday. Cloudy today - no wind. 34 degrees.
1/28/2020 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Read gauge early this morning - meetings later. No new precipitation and no snow left on the ground. Cloudy this morning and 34 degrees. There is still some ice on the lake, but it looks mushy and there are open gaps.
1/29/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Colder this morning and quite windy. 27 degrees. Partly cloudy.
1/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Colder again today 15 degrees. Soem frost around, but not a lot. Clear and sunny and no wind. Lake is starting to get ice again.
1/31/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Frost this morning, but not heavy. Clear, not as cold. 22 degrees. No wind. The lake is icing up again. Still very thin of course. Must be frustrating for the ice fishermen.
2/1/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.2 M T M Light snow started last night about 10:00 pm. Clearly didn’t last long, but it was cold enough overnight that it is still around this morning. There was about 0.2” on the snow board, but the ground was just a trace overall. It is already above freezing and cloudy. The dusting of snow makes it easier to see how much of the lake has ice. There are broad open spots but also a fair amount of snow-covered ice.
2/2/2020 8:00 AM T T T T T Very light trace of snow on the ground and the snow board and in gauge. Just below freezing now and it is partly cloudy. The dusting of snow on the ice on the lake makes it more visible and also the large open areas more in contrast.
2/3/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.1 M T M Precipitation in gauge had melted, but was still snow on the board (0.1”). The ground had traces of snow still, but it was melting. Warmer this morning (37 degrees) and partly cloudy.
2/4/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Just a few drops of rain in gauge. Not raining now, but looks like it will start up again. It is above freezing (36). Cloudy and no wind.
2/5/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Trace of rain in gauge - just a few drops. 36 degreees. Looks like ice is off lake. Cloudy and still.
2/6/2020 8:00 AM 0.31 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 The precipitation in the gauge was all rain. There was a thin sheet of ice on the snowboard, but I didn’t see ice anywhere else on the ground. It was misting at the time I read gauge. Cloudy and still. 34 degrees.
2/7/2020 8:00 AM 0.16 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 It is still misting as I read the gauge and foggy. The water drops are collecting on the bare braches and it looks almost like ice, but is not. Very pretty effect. Temperature is above freezing (36) here. No ice or snow.
2/8/2020 8:00 AM 0.16 T M T M The precipitation had frozen in the gauge. Temperature this morning was down to 21 degrees. On the snow board were traces of ice, but on the ground is a trace of snow. We had a snowsquall about 4:00 yesterday afternoon that lasted about a half hour. This morning is sunny and still a bit windy, but not as strong as yesterday.
2/9/2020 8:20 AM 0.01 0.2 0.02 0.5 M Small amount of snow in gauge, on board and on ground. The snow on the ground measured 0.5”, but it was buoyed up by the grass so don’t think that is accurate. Maybe I should have called it a trace? It is all new snow. The snow on the board measured 0.2”, so more than a trace. Cloudy this morning and 25 degrees. It is not snowing this morning.
2/10/2020 8:00 AM 0.27 T T T T Lightly raining when checking the gauge. Hasn’t melted the trace of snow still on the ground. Snow board had a trace of slushy snow on it. Temperature above freezing (37) and surfaces don’t seem icy.
2/11/2020 8:00 AM 0.09 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Foggy this morning and lightly misting. Small amount of precipitation in gauge. All traces of snow are gone. 40 degrees. Very dreary day.
2/12/2020 8:00 AM 0.12 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Partly sunny today - great to see the sun after dreary and foggy days! 33 degrees this morning. Small amount of precipitation from yesterday. Everything is dried up this morning. No wind. Trace of ice on the snow board.
2/13/2020 8:00 AM 0.66 0.5 0.16 1.0 M In the gauge was slushy ice and water. Surprised how much was in there. There is only about 1.0” on the ground and 0.5” on the board.It is 34 degrees now and snow on the ground is very wet - turns to slush when you step on it. It is not raining nor snowing right now, but it is very foggy.
2/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Frost on surfaces, but not on gauge. 30 degrees and sunny.
2/18/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation. Cloudy and no wind. No frost either. Temperature 33 degrees. Dreary, dreary day.
2/19/2020 8:00 AM 0.05 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 It seemed like it rained more than accumulated in the gauge yesterday! It was pretty light - almost a mist a lot of the time. It was all rain though. Even though I think it went below freezing overnight, it was all liquid this morning. This morning is sunny with a slight breeze and 34 degrees.
2/20/2020 8:08 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation. Colder today (20 degrees), but sunny. Light frost.
2/21/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation. Light frost on some sufaces. I think it is too dry to have frost on the grass. Colder again today (15 degrees). Breezy. The lake is not calm, so no ice is trying to form - perhaps on the edges.
2/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 More zeroes!! Sunny, not as cold (25 degrees), some frost.
2/23/2020 8:23 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation again. 26 degrees and sunny this morning. A bit of frost on the ground.
2/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another dry day. Sunny this morning with some frost around. 27 degrees. Still. Yesterday was sunny and got up to 50 degrees in afternoon. One of my snowdrops is up with a tiny flower. Tulips are starting to push up a bit, but the cold nights have stopped them I hope.
2/25/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation. Warmer this morning (41 degrees). Cloudy and no wind.
2/26/2020 8:00 AM 0.22 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A bit of precipitation to report (0.22”). Good that we got something - I was just reading that there have been several brush fires in the last few days that did not seem to have been intentionally set. The article said that was more typical of mid-March. It is not raining this morning, but is cloudy and looks like it could start up again. And it is warmer about 43 degrees.
2/27/2020 8:00 AM 0.85 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Finally a decent amount of precipitation (0.85”), although I wish it had been snow! Gusty winds have caused temperature to drop a few degrees in last hour. Starting to brighten up and rain is stopping. Our pussy willow tree is full of catkins - more than past years. Looks very healthy.
2/28/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. The gauge was read at 8:00 am, but I was unable to report until afternoon.
2/29/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Happy Leap Day! No precipitation. Cold again (24 degrees), but sunny. wind makes it seem colder. More spring bulbs have started to push up on the warmer days, only to be nipped by the cold when the temperatures drop again.
3/1/2020 8:08 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Frost on the ground and other surfaces this morning. Sunny and clear and slight breeze.
3/2/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Cloudy this morning, no frost, 32 degrees. No wind. Looks like the lake might have a skim of ice on it.
3/3/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another day of zeroes! Things seem pretty dry, although I haven’t heard anymore about brush fires. Partly sunny today and no wind. Already 45 degrees. All the spring bulb are poking up out of the ground it seems. Yesterday I saw crocuses blooming in another town and bees buzzing around them. My daffodils are up about 3”, but crocuses aren’t showing much yet.
3/4/2020 5:00 AM 0.17 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 I’m leaving for the airport shortly, but thought I would read my gauge before leaving. Hope it is useful because it is so much earlier than my usual time (8:00). I will be gone for several days, so will do multiple day report when I return. It is already 41 degrees and very windy, but not raining now.
3/16/2020 8:23 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Cold this morning (23 degrees). Some frost. Still and sunny.
3/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.07 0.2 0.07 0.5 M Very surprised to see snow this morning - I was in spring mode with the crocuses and daffodils blooming! Not much snow though - 0.2” on the snow board. And it is above freezing now and misting lightly. Wherever you step it turns to slush.
3/18/2020 8:10 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Very slight amount in the gauge from yesterday. Today is clear and sunny and 33 degrees. Frost on the grass. Snow was totally gone by yesterday afternoon.
3/19/2020 8:00 AM 0.67 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Not raining when I checked the gauge, but very cloudy and looks like it will start up again. Very low fog over the lake surface.
3/20/2020 8:00 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Very little precipitation to report (0.02”). Foggy/misty now and 43 degrees. Can’t see the lake.
3/21/2020 8:25 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A trace of precipitation left from the morning yesterday morning’s rain. Clear and dry this morning. Beautiful afternoon yesterday with temperatures in low 60’s. Nice to get out for a walk. More daffodils are blooming, but it is turning cold again.
3/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Frost on the grass. 25 degrees. Tulip leaves that are up look burned - at least some. Crocus dying. Daffodils seem better able to withstand this cold. Sunny this morning though. Although yesterday’s temperatures didn’t get much above 40, it was sunny and not bad to do some work around the yard - clearing brush mostly. All the local parks had overflowing parking lots - people really to out to walk, get out of the house, have some fresh air.
3/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.03 0.5 0.03 1.0 0.02 All snow in the gauge at 8:00. Still snowing steadily. The amount measured on the ground (1.0”) I think was buoyed by the grass and when that core was melted, it was less than the core on the board which measured 0.5” snow. I’m not sure when the snow began.
3/24/2020 8:00 AM 1.07 0.5 0.19 1.0 M It snowed for longer yesterday than I had anticipated. Sleet was mixed in around 1:00pm before it went back to all snow and then finally turned to all rain about 4:00pm. We were driving at the time the sleet came and the roads were very slippery. Very approximate times. The gauge had ice and water in it when I checked it at 8:00am. A racoon ran across my snowboard sometime in the night, but fortunately left enough untouched snow to measure. The snow was very icy. After all the rain, I was surprised to still have snow on the ground, but the temperatures fell below freezing. It is partly sunny today and a bit windy. the weather service had a black ice warning. Now it is 34 degrees here.

3/29/2020 8:00 AM 0.49 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Just about a half inch of rain in gauge this morning. Still misting. 44 degrees and no breeze. Another sign of spring - goldfinches are turning yellow for summer.
3/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.26 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Some precipitation yesterday, but about half of the previous day. Chilly this morning, but above freezing so surfaces are just wet. Lots of spring plants coming up now. Daffodils still blooming and some yet to bloom. Forsythia is looking very pretty right now in full bloom. I understand they opened fishing season early and there are definitely people out there. Our friend says he’s been catching big ones.
3/31/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Very small amount of precipitation to report. As I walked down to check gauge, a few drops of rain started to fall, but they seem to have stopped. Cloudy and 37 degrees this morning. Temperature reached about 50 yesterday although sun never came out. Good weather for working in the yard.

4/6/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Sunny this morning and still. Received an alert that there is potential for brush fires today in this area. Fortunately, right now there doesn’t seem to be much wind. Actually, the grass had dew on it when I checked my gauge. But there are a lot of dry leaves and brush on the ground. Humidity is low as well.
4/7/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation again today. 49 degrees, cloudy and still. A few boats on the lake this morning. Pileated woodpecker is pecking away at a dead tree branch - very loud!

4/9/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Just started raining as i went out to gauge. 46 degrees and no wind. Strong winds were predicted for today, but right now it is very still.
4/10/2020 8:00 AM 0.30 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunny this morning, but still very windy. 37 degrees. Took in my snowboard today. Hope we don’t have a freak storm!!

4/13/2020 8:25 AM 0.43 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Almost half an inch of rain. The grass is looking so green this morning. Still raining. Warm too - 55 degrees.
4/14/2020 8:00 AM 1.17 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cloudy this morning. Everything has dried off now. Over an inch of rain yesterday and with the wind, it sometimes came down sideways. Some roads were closed because of flooding, but on the hill here it wasn’t bad. Some places lost electricity because of downed branches or trees. Cooler this morning (45 degrees). Still some wind but less strong than yesterday.
4/15/2020 8:25 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Cloudy, 39 degrees, some wind.
4/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.02 T M T M I did not expect to be a “Ruler of the Snow” in April!! Fortunately, it is only a dusting. And already is melting as the sun is trying to come out. Temperature is 35 degrees.
4/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report today. Sunny, but cold. 32 degrees. L
4/18/2020 8:15 AM 0.61 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Feels like there is sleet mixed in with rain - you can hear it striking surfaces. Not sure when rain started, but it is still coming down. Looks like there is a trace of sleet on the snowboard and our deck as well. Temperature is just above freezing.
4/19/2020 8:00 AM 0.05 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Small amount of precipitation to report. After reading the gauge yesterday, we had a mix of types of precipitation: snow, sleet, rain. However, it did not accumulate much and the snow melted as soon as it hit the ground. Today is a beautiful sunny day with no wind. Hopefully, it will get warmer today - more spring-like.
4/20/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Yesterday was a good day for hiking, but crowded most places. Around 60 by afternoon with a breeze that was chilly.

4/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.16 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A little bit of rain to report. Not raining currently, but cloudy and looks like it could start up again. The grass is such a brilliant green! These April showers are bringing it right back. Almost time to mow!!
4/25/2020 8:25 AM 0.20 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunny this morning and no wind. 42 degrees. The grass is a brilliant green - like photos I’ve seen of Ireland. Glad its not rainy again as much as the plants appreciate it. Already saw one boat out on the lake this morning.
4/26/2020 8:00 AM 0.04 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Small amount of rain in gauge (0.04”). Not currently raining, but cloudy and still and 45 degrees. My tulips need just one more day of sun and they will burst open - they are so close!

4/29/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Not sure if the Trace is precipitation or if it is dew. There is heavy dew on the grass this morning. 41 degrees. Partly sunny and still. Lake is like glass.
4/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.10 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Not raining at 8:00 when I read gauge, but now several minutes later while I’m recording this, it has started to rain again - heavily. 45 degrees and very dreary. But this rain has made everything really green up and grow!
5/1/2020 8:00 AM 1.15 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Over an inch of rain yesterday! There were some heavy downpours during the day. This morning it is warm (55 degrees) and foggy. Can’t see the lake.
5/2/2020 8:00 AM 0.63 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunny with slight breeze this morning and 48 degrees. Another good rainfall yesterday (0.63”). Although the brook is not full, but running there is standing water in the low spots of the lawn. Quite mushy along the edges of the brook as well.

It got up to mid-sixties, but then with the clouds came wind and the temperature drop through the afternoon.Still a good day for getting outside.

5/8/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another day with no precipitation. Partly sunny this morning and 47 degrees. I did have to water plants yesterday that I have in pots outside - mostly decorative flowers. Haven’t put out herbs and veggies yet - its just been too cold.
5/9/2020 8:00 AM 0.49 T M T M Trace of snow on the ground and plants. Plants also have an ice coating this morning. Sunny and some wind. 31 degrees. I hope my plants survive this freezing! Mostly decorative flowering plants. This is quite a shock in May! There was a glaze of ice in the gauge this morning. I forgot the temperature was predicted to go so low and left my inner tube out. It seems to be OK, but I know they said it can’t take freezing. Fortunately, it just went a degree or two below freezing.
5/10/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Slight amount of precipitation. We had some snow squalls yesterday afternoon and evening, but nothing accumulated and it was so windy the snow blew right past. There was a new green leaf in the funnel this morning as well. And one of my tulip flowers was ripped right off the stem and was lying on the grass. Less windy this morning, but still some.
5/11/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Yesterday was a beautiful mostly sunny day with high in low 60’s. It was still windy though. This morning started out sunny, but is getting cloudier. 50 degrees. No wind - the lake is like glass.

5/13/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. There was a frost last night - still can be seen on plants and grass that the sun hasn’t hit yet. There was a warning yesterday for potential for brush fires that could be made worse by the wind. Fortunately, there is no wind today, so I think the threat is less although we’ve had no rain.

This is more like May! Very still - no wind. Going to try to hike today - hope it is not too crowded since it is a Friday. Weekends have been so crowded that several parks have had to close. This rain should have helped the concerns about brush fires over past couple of days.
5/16/2020 8:15 AM 0.49 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Quite a storm last evening after a beautiful day that was partly sunny and reached 80 degrees!! The sun is out this morning and so far not a cloud in the sky. 59 degrees with a bit of a wind. The bottom tenth of the column of water in the gauge was black. Looks like the winds had been so strong that they blew some dirt into the funnel.
5/17/2020 8:45 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Cloudy this morning, 60 degrees. Very still. Boats are already roaring on the lake.

Yesterday was beautiful - not a cloud in the sky which was such a brilliant blue. Flowers are just popping out all over the yard. Bleeding heart is just about done, but the wild geranium are starting to bloom. The monstrous viburnum bush is covered with “snowballs” causing it to droop down. Tree peony put on a great show, but the flowers are fading now. The iris are starting to bloom - the most flowers in years.
5/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Hopefully we will get some today. It is cloudy and warm (69 degrees). Very calm and still. Don’t hear any boats on the lake yet. Yesterday was very busy on the lake. A beautiful, sunny, quite warm day (low 80’s).
5/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.90 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cloudy this morning with a little sun peeking out. We really needed that rain and it all seems to have soaked in. Don’t see any puddles or flooding. Cooler than yesterday - 56 degrees.
5/25/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Not sure when it rained, but everything is still wet. It was very light though - only 0.01” in gauge. Yesterday was a gorgeous day - lots of sunshine. The lake was packed with boats in the afternoon.

5/29/2020 8:15 AM 0.05 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overcast and foggy this morning. Very humid. 69 degrees. Very still.
5/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.29 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thunderstorm came through last evening about 8:00 - very brief. Not sure if there were more showers overnight. Bit of a breeze this morning.
5/31/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Beautiful, sunny morning, but windy and cooler (58 degrees) than recent mornings. Heavy dew on the grass and I wonder if the small amount in the gauge is actually condensation. No trace of rain on any of the surfaces.
6/1/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 What a brilliant, sunny morning! No clouds, but cooler. 48 degrees. No wind though - yesterday we had some wind, but it was also a beautiful sunny day. Everything is growing by leaps and bounds! Except my tomatoes - they are just waiting.

6/6/2020 8:00 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 We had a couple of brief showers yesterday - not much accumulation. Already quite warm - 74 degrees.
6/7/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Very windy this morning, but clear and sunn - no clouds in the sky.. Low humidity. Some dew on the grass. Boaters already out on the lake. 60 degrees feels much better than yesterday. It was so hot and humid yesterday. Thought we might get a thunderstorm, but nothing materialized.

6/10/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report! Yesterday was hot, very sunny and all the new plants needed water. Today is cloudy right now, already 67 degrees and still. Dew on grass. Looks like we will get rain tomorrow, but afraid it might be in the form of thunderstorms, not a nice, gentle, nourishing rain.
6/11/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 The water in gauge is most likely rain. There are signs of a recent shower. Cloudy and warm this morning - already 70. Very still. Hope we will be getting more rain - we need it.
6/12/2020 8:00 AM 0.54 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Rain showers throughout the day yesterday. Thunderstorms nearby in afternoon. Sometimes the showers were heavy. Today is back to beautiful, sunny, low humidity and 68 degrees. New plants are glad to have a good soaking.

6/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 There was a trace of liquid in tube, but I think it was condensation. The outside was completely fogged up and drops were hanging off the bottom. The dew is quite heavy on the grass. Clear and still with low humidity again this morning. 57 degrees.
6/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 The weather is repetitive, but not monotonous! Loving these sunny, low humidity days with a slight breeze. The plants love it too, as long as I keep them watered!! It is quite dry. I heard that June usually has 3-4” rsinfall, but we are in the middle and have had less than an inch. My own records add up to 0.93” for June so far.
6/18/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Everything is quite dry - watered all the veggies last night and some new plantings. Hardly any dew this morning, but it is a little foggy/misty. Quite warm - 68 degrees. And very still. No sun yet, but I think it will become partly sunny later. Yesterday was so sunny - clear blue sky.
6/19/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Cloudy, very still, no dew and 70 degrees. Yesterday the sun finally came out in late morning. Still some clouds around, but mostly sunny. Temperatures in the 80s. Still very dry, but the Housatonic River is very full. It is not foggy this morning like yesterday and the clouds seem more dense and gray, but I don’t think it is supposed to rain.
6/20/2020 8:25 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Eight days with no precipitation. I don’t usually have to water all these plants in June (except newly planted). The vegetables are doing very well with all this sun.
6/21/2020 8:25 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation again today - 9 days. Thunderstorms never materialized yesterday. Temperature on our deck reached 90 yesterday. Thanks goodness for the pool!! This seems too early in the summer for my evening ritual to be watering plants. We haven’t put the air conditioner in the bedroom yet - we are able to keep it comfortable with a fan. This morning is sunny and still again. No clouds. Lots of dew and condensation on gauge. I had to put my defense on the gauge - the catbird has been pooping in it regularly while he watches the blueberries ripen! Already 70 degrees.
6/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report - tenth day. My bird deterrent did not work - will need to reconstruct. Yesterday the temperatures got into the high 80s - not sure if it hit 90 on our deck. Part of our lawn where the grass was not very thick is dying. Watering every evening to keep veggies and herbs healthy. The Housatonic River actually looks quite full the last time I was near there (Thursday).
6/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Same, same, same. Sunny, hot, dry, no wind. 74 degrees. Plants are not happy - many seem stressed.
6/24/2020 8:10 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Close to two weeks with no rain. I haven’t heard of any water restrictions yet. We have a well and it seems to be doing fine. Cloudy this morning - a relief from the hot sun. But it is even warmer than recent mornings - 77 degrees. Very still.
6/25/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Again no rain! Partly cloudy this morning. It cooled off nicely last night and this morning it is only 66. Very still. Our road is being repaved and yesterday they took off all the old pavement so it is now just dirt. It is so dusty - clouds of dust floating over our yard. I read yesterday that around 49% of the state is experiencing abnormally dry weather, but they are not worried about a drought as the water supplies seem OK.
6/26/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunny this morning, 66 degrees, dew on the grass and condensation On gauge. Very still. Seems as though many plants are holding back on flowering - not bursting open as they did in spring. I presume it is from lack of water.
6/27/2020 8:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still no rain. Partly cloudy this morning. Very still. Cooled off at night nicely again after sunny, but low humidity day.
6/28/2020 8:00 AM 0.58 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Finally some rain! A steady, sometimes heavy rain fell yesterday from around noon to maybe 3:30 pm. It hasn’t rained since, but is very foggy this morning and still. Plants are looking good.
6/29/2020 7:40 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Small amount of precipitation in the gauge. We had a brief storm yesterday. It was hot and humid yesterday. Heavy dew on grass this morning and condensation on outside of gauge. This morning is cooler and partly cloudy.
6/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.06 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Small amount of additional rain - can’t hurt! Cloudy this morning and 67 degrees. Very still. Butterfly weed in full bloom - looks good, but don’t see any monarchs around.
7/1/2020 8:00 AM 0.43 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Almost a half inch of rain yesterday - heavy at times. Lots of plants bursting into bloom now - bee balm, butterfly weed, lizards tail, day lilies, sun drops. Good to see. Not as many pollinators as usual on them, I don’t think. I wonder if it is due to the road work that has been going on here since late March? Trucks running all day long some times. Last week when the road was all dug up and they kept grading it and rolling it all day, my husband and I had sinus problems. That was also when we hadn’t had rain for two weeks. I think they are almost done thank goodness.
7/2/2020 8:00 AM 0.64 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Heavy showers yesterday - thunderstorms in area. Otherwise mostly sunny.
7/3/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cloudy and still this morning - 71 degrees. A thunderstorm passed us by yesterday evening - the small amount of precipitation might have been from that. Nothing is wet this morning. The boaters are out on the lake already, buzzing around.
7/4/2020 8:30 AM 0.60 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Our first actual thunderstorm in awhile yesterday at about 5:30 pm. Recently, most have gone around us, although at least giving us rain. Rain was heavy for awhile - thought w might have to dump some water from the pool. In the first 4 days of July, we have received about the same amount of rain as for all of June! My plants have visibly grown several more inches since yesterday! Cloudy this morning and very still. 69 degrees. I don’t hear any boats on the lake yet.
7/5/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Just a trace of precipitation or maybe dew in gauge. Wasn’t aware of any showers around yesterday. Fog is starting to burn off now and a little sun is coming out. Already in 70’s. Very still.
7/6/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Yesterday the temperatures got up to high 80’s. Sunny and hot and a bit humid. Even with the several good rain storms, some of my plants seem not to have been damaged by the long dry stretch. Tiger lilies still have very small buds - they have not grown in weeks. I fear they will not bloom. Looks like another hot day today - already 77 degrees.
7/7/2020 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cloudy, almost feels like it is misting. Very still. Humidity is 82%.It is so quiet - the road crew has not started up yet. Last evening had to water plants in pots - it was so sunny and dry yesterday. Temps up to 90.
7/8/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Don’t know if small amount in gauge is dew or rain. Cloudy this morning. Yesterday was mostly cloudy also and didn’t get very hot. This morning is a little warmer than yesterday. Very still again today.
7/9/2020 8:00 AM 0.41 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thunderstorm yesterday afternoon - rained for about two hours steadily. Nor wind or hail and just a little lightning. It was good to get more rain. And it cooled things down a bit. This morning is already muggy and hot - 79 degrees. Very still. Morning haze is starting to burn off.
7/10/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A trace of water in gauge - may be dew. Lots of dew on the grass. Cloudy and very still. Felt like it was misting when I went out to read gauge. Very hot yesterday 91 and mostly sunny.
7/11/2020 8:00 AM 0.75 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 We did not get the main impact of the remains of Fay. It rained hard several times, but only 3/4” accumulated. No flooding that I observed. This morning is clear and sunny and 73 degrees already. Another hot one I guess. Boats already on the lake, zooming around.
7/12/2020 8:00 AM 1.11 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Heavy thunderstorm at about 8:15pm last night dumped over an inch of rain. Had to dump water out of pool to prevent overflow. Small river ran down our walk and into garage. However, this morning, no signs of flooding. Clear and sunny this morning, low humidity and 70 degrees. Some breeze.
7/13/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Partly sunny and still this morning. Heavy dew on the grass, so the small amount in gauge might have been condensation. Was not aware of any rainfall.
7/14/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cooler this morning and lower humidity. Sunny with a breeze. Last night was good sleeping weather. Yesterday was partly cloudy and more humid - temperatures got into low 80’s. Dew this morning, so the trace in the gauge might be that.
7/15/2020 8:00 AM 0.11 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A storm came through about 5:30 with heavy rain, but it was brief. Prior to it, the day had been sunny and low 80’s. This morning it is cloudy, but the sun is trying to burn through. 67 degrees and very still. They have finally finished our road - it is so quite and peaceful and no dust flying!
7/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Small amount of precipitation, or perhaps condensation. Grass is wet and some other surfaces as well. Cloudy, 69 degrees and humidity is high. Yesterday was partly sunny, low 80’s.
7/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.04 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Heard the rain in early morning, but not heavy or long lasting. Not surprised there is so little in gauge. Cloudy now, but not raining. 67 degrees. Very still.
7/18/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Foggy/hazy this morning, but sun is trying to burn through. 70 degrees. Small shower yesterday that was very brief. Temperatures were in low 80’s yesterday when sun finally came out.

They are predicting temperatures in the 90’s for today. Hope we can stay cool and keep the plants from drying up.
7/20/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Again a small amount in the gauge - probably condensation. Right now the humidity is around 80%, but yesterday during day it stayed around high 50’s which was not too bad. I guess the sun will burn through soon and we’ll be in for another miserably hot day.
7/21/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. This morning is sunny - haze has already burned off. 71 degrees and very still. Yesterday temperatures were in low 90’s, but humidity stay around 55%. Plants need watering every day now. Veggies are looking pretty good, but flowering plants in pots outside wilt every day.
7/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation. Yesterday was hot - almost hit 90, but at least humidity was only around 50%. Many of the plants wilt by late afternoon in heat and dryness. We had to add water to the pool as the level was getting too low to run filter. No rain to replace the evaporation. Hope we get a storm today.
7/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.13 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Storm in the evening - about 7:00 pm. Good to get some rain, although not much. Today is hot and humid again already. More storms predicted.
7/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.08 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another brief storm last evening. Severe thunderstorms were predicted, but passed us by. Not enough rain to really help the dryness. Yesterday not as hot - 88 I think was the high here. This morning is cloudy and 72 degrees. 98% humidity and very still.
7/25/2020 8:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 The trace in the gauge is probably due to condensation - there is a heavy dew on the grass this morning and the outside of the gauge was all fogged up. Yesterday was mostly cloudy and cooler - highs in the low 80s. Plants this morning are all looking good - I only did a little evening watering.
7/26/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Hot yesterday, but didn’t hit 90. This morning it is 72 degrees and 92% humidity. And very still. Lots of dew on grass. The lake was very busy yesterday with boaters - went on past midnight. This morning is quiet though. Is everyone in church?
7/27/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another dry day and night. Very hot yesterday - hit 90. There was at least a breeze which helped. Today is very similar to yesterday. Sunny, still, 72 degrees.
7/28/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another dry day. And a very hot one yesterday. Heat index 100 at about 5:00 pm. Even the pool wasn’t refreshing as it was in full sun. I only watered some of the things that were wilting at around noon, but later is was too hot to do any more. Hope to get out after my workout before sun is high and do some more. No signs of getting any rain. Already it is 79 degrees and 76% humidity. There is a slight breeze which is nice. So glad we have the bedroom air conditioner so we can at least sleep.
7/29/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Had to check gauge early today - going out to do a bird count. Yesterday was another hot one - at least 90. but it cooled down nicely overnight. Only 65 degrees now. Lots of dew and condensation on gauge. There was supposed to be a storm yesterday, but it never materialized. Some dark clouds went by. I don’t know when we will ever get some rain. We need a nice, steady day-long rain.
7/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 More zeroes! Everything is so dry - the grass crunches when I walk on it. Difficult to keep all the plants watered (time and effort wise). Even the pool is not feeling very refreshing. The saving grace is the bedroom air conditioner - maybe I’ll spend the day in there!!
7/31/2020 8:00 AM 0.04 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Brief thunderstorm yesterday late afternoon dropped a small amount of rain here. Until that storm came through, it was another 90+ degree day. My tomato plants have produced some tomatoes (still green), but the plants just don’t look healthy. I probably have not kept them watered enough. I guess I will have to get some soaker hoses next year.
8/1/2020 8:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Cooler this morning than in recent days. Yesterday was in the mid 80’s and more pleasant than previously. Heavy dew this morning. Sunny and still. Everything is still pretty dry, but not burned up.
8/2/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Cloudy this morning, slight breeze, no dew and about 75 degrees. Hope we will get some rain today. It is so badly needed. Flowers growing in beds are only making tiny little buds - to dry to really flower. The few day lilies that didn’t die have very small flowers. Yesterday was hot and sunny again.
8/3/2020 8:00 AM 0.15 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Finally had a shower here yesterday in the afternoon. Didn’t last very long and everything soaked right in It seems. Not much accumulation. But at least we got something! Hot and humid yesterday afternoon. This morning is partly cloudy with a nice breeze and 72 degrees.
8/4/2020 7:50 AM 0.33 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Heavy downpour started last night about 10:45 pm. Not sure how long it lasted. A brief shower came through at 7:38 this morning and stopped by the time i read the gauge. Cloudy this morning, 68 degrees and very humid. Very still also. I had been anticipating strong winds from Isias, but they are not here yet. It has been downgraded to tropical storm. There also is a tornado watch in effect for this area today.
8/5/2020 8:00 AM 0.60 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Storm started around 1:15 pm yesterday. Rain was heavy at times but there was no flooding that i saw and accumulation in gauge was only 0.60”. The worst part was the wind. Several trees and large limbs down in our yard, but no damage to structures. Our power went out at about 1:50 pm and is still out this morning. I had difficulty connecting to web so this report is late, but the gauge was read at 8:00. Beautiful sunny day today to dry things up, but i hope power comes on soon. The newspaper said there were hundreds of thousands without power, so i am not hopeful it will be soon.
8/6/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Might be heavy dew in gauge as the grass is very wet and condensation on outside or gauge. Cooler this morning - 62 degrees. Partly sunny this morning and still no power. Could not enter data, so am entering when i finally could connect.
8/7/2020 8:00 AM 0.12 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Shower started about 6 am, but not raining at time of gauge check (8:00 am). Cloudy this morning. Still no power at house. Yesterday was mostly sunny with temps in low 80s. Hope more rain comes because without wate at the house I can’t water my plants.
8/8/2020 9:15 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Heavy dew this morning. Yesterday reached low 80s and cooled off nicely at night. Still no power and difficult to find gas for generator - supply problem due to storm I think. Generator is running refrigerator, if we can’t get guess we will lose food and our cool. Ice is also hard to find. None in grocery stores. Long lines at gas station for both gas (if there is any) and ice (if there is any)!
8/9/2020 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Yesterday was sunny and dry. This morning there is some dew and partly cloudy and 77 degrees. Still no power. I am getting better at connecting to internet. I am now getting enough bars on my cell phone to do that. For several days, I had to travel to get enough bars. There is still the buzzing of generators in the neighborhood. I think our neighborhood is low priority. Plants are starting to dry up again. Water is not plentiful in stores - we have enough to drink and cook with, but since we don’t know how the supply will be, I don’t want to water plants with it. My daughter has city water, so we will go there today to get some. Thank goodness for the generator because ice is also not available, although I think I saw some places had it yesterday. Our fifth day camping out in our house.
8/10/2020 8:10 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. Yesterday was hot and sunny with a few clouds passing through, but no storms. Today it is sunny and still and temperature in low 70s. Supposed to be a hot one today. Still no power - sixth day, my plants, especially those in pots are really starting to burn up. We have no water because the well pump needs electricity, so we have to buy or get from someone who has city water. It is not enough for drinking, cooking and washing to have much left to water plants.
8/11/2020 8:20 AM 0.46 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A surprise thunderstorm came through and brought rain at about 8:15 pm. It was over in about 35 minutes, but brought almost half an inch of much needed rain. Yesterday’s temperature reached about 93 degrees. It was about 91 before the storm came and dropped to a very pleasant 73 degrees. All my plants look so much healthier this morning. It is now one week since we have had power. I sure hope they live up to their promise to have everyone up by midnight.
8/12/2020 8:00 AM 0.36 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Yesterday was sunny and hot (93) and no thunderstorms that we heard. Around 4:00 am, we heard rain and turned out to be a decent shower (0.36”). That was a nice surprise. Our power came back at 1:20 pm yesterday!! What a relief. It was nice to have the plants naturally watered last night. This morning the sun is just starting to burn through the clouds. 72 degrees and very still.

11/1/2019 11/03/2019 8:25 AM 3 0.64 0.0 0.00 Time change messed me up this morning, so missed my usual reading time. Most likely the precipitation is the rest of Thursday’s storm.
