10/14/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We are in the season of morning heavy dews.
10/21/2019 7:00 PM 0.24 M M M M Catching up.
10/24/2019 7:00 PM 0.78 M M M M Catching up.
11/11/2019 7:00 AM T M M M M It has begun to mist as I collected this amount, and freezing on metal surfaces. Moisture is still coming down so the duration times will not be accurate.
11/12/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 11 degrees here in Ark City at 6:30 AM and a record breaking low of 8 degrees in Wichita. Way too cold for November!
11/14/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The weathermen are talking about how dry Kansas is getting, after record breaking rain this spring. Thankfully, SE Kansas is not yet on the drought map.
11/18/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The fall migration continues, with at least the third wave of white pelicans seen on Ark City's quarry pond.
11/19/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nary a cloud in the sky!
12/31/2019 7:00 PM 2.10 M M M M I can't get the multi-day report to work so this is for 12/24 through 12/31.
1/1/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still unseasonably warm for winter. Happy New Year everyone!
1/10/2020 7:00 AM 0.13 M M M M Had a surprise storm last night around news time that knocked the satellite out. Didn't last very long but sounded fierce with winds and rain hitting the roof.
1/18/2020 7:00 AM 0.47 M M M M I was really surprised to see so little in the gauge, considering how long it rained yesterday and into the night.
1/24/2020 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M We had mist all day yesterday that changed into big wet snowflakes after dark. I really don't know how to record a "skiff" of snow so I need to review the videos.
1/29/2020 7:00 AM 0.37 M M M M This amount includes all of yesterday's rain, sleet and snow. I read the gauge early but did not do a snow depth and by the time I got around to it this afternoon, every trace of snow was gone. It was around an inch but in places just rested on top of the grass so I'm not sure how to record that.
2/4/2020 7:00 PM 0.03 M M M M As far as I know, this small amount came entirely as sleet, sometime in the early morning.
2/24/2020 7:00 AM 1.25 M M M M It started raining last night around church time and kept it up all night.
3/15/2020 7:00 PM 0.68 M M M M We were not home from 3-12-20 to 3-15-20, 7 pm. So I am assuming this all fell on 03-14-20 as this is the only day precipitation was reported in our area by Nat. Weather Serv. during this time period.
3/16/2020 8:30 PM 0.40 M M M M
3/19/2020 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M The sun finally came out yesterday, lifting my spirits trememdously! And after a brief overnight shower, the sun is back out this morning. What a blessing something so common is! (Our area of the state is so saturated that any amount of rainfall puddles in the fields and doesn't go away for days.)
3/22/2020 7:00 PM 0.48 M M M M Heavy mist all day long...all day long. The fields are saturated.
3/23/2020 7:00 PM 0.02 M M M M Another long day of gray mist. I am SO ready for bright sunshine, even if it's cool.
3/24/2020 7:00 PM 0.82 M M M M We have standing water in our line of cedars, and our back acreage is squishy. BUT, the sun came out today so I don't care how wet it is.
4/16/2020 7:00 PM 0.12 M M M M
4/23/2020 7:00 AM 0.78 M M M M This rain started on 4/22 and fell all day and into the night. Wasn't heavy but steady and unrelenting.

5/8/2020 7:00 PM 0.25 M M M M
5/11/2020 7:00 PM 0.50 M M M M It has rained most of the day and since it's also rather chilly, the day has been just blah. It's still raining now.
5/12/2020 7:00 PM 0.67 M M M M I think most of this rain fell overnight.
