Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
4/5/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I have two of your rain gauges as I report to the Soil & Water Conservation Office in my county of Lac qui Parle and have done it since 2002. They report my precip. amounts to the NWS in Chanhassen,Minn., I believe.I have a monthly sheet I report on and each day is listed on that monthly report.I read the gauge at 8:00 am for them and will do the same for you. I may not report every day I get precip. as some days are very busy on the farm.I would report maybe weekly but give you the amounts for each of the days in the weekly report or what ever works best for me. If it's less than .05" I don't write it down (leave it in the gauge and add it to the next time I get precip.). I have precip. records for Madison, MInn. which is 3 miles from me the way the crow flies and Madison has not had a 5" rainfall in 24 hours since then. Who knows how many years before that.During those 80 years the more and least precip. in a calendar year were in 1976 & 1977. 9.4" in 1976 & 41.something in 1977. That must be a record for anywhere to go for least to most in 80 years.
