Overcast, 59° 24hr: 53/61° Seeing just 1.01" of rain for September I went back through 10 years of CoCoRaHS Water Summanry Reports to see what happened the following winter after a dry September. 2013 = 1.7" rain & was followed by a winter with 52.7" of snow that started in November. We'll see.... |

I was at Wave Hill, NY all afternoon and at 2:35pm saw the dark 'wall of water' coming from NJ the Palisades and Hudson and slam us with high winds and very heavy rain. Checked the gauge with a flashlight when I got home and wasn't surprised a bit that it had already overflowed with continuing rain. A lot of road flooding on the way home. |

Cloudy, 46° 24hr: 29 [yesterday a.m.'s reset] /50° Couldn't believe it! There was a small scattering of tiny, white ice crystals on the bottom of the gauge this morning. I shook them all to one side and tried to pull them out with my finger --and they melted! It's far too warm for this, and yet I know we're supposed to report what is, not what we think it can or cannot be! And these were tiny ice pellets. Time to position the snowboard for the Winter. |

Sunny, 23.4° 24hr: 23.4/29.3 Had to climb over extremely large limbs on the ground to get to the gauge. Our mature maples took a beating, with 3 of the oldest dropping branches of 26", 17" & 15" circumference and lots of smaller branches all over the yard. The gauge reading is likely under-reporting; twice during the storm I noticed the snow crawling up one side of the gauge and out the top. Kept knocking it down and replaced the gauge at 2pm (0.38") and added to this morning's OBS (0.49") to report the total 0.87" but given all the sleet that was mixed in, I had expected the gauge total to be greater than the ground core. Also there was already an ice layer on the ground before this storm even started and I don't think the core sample broke through that. |

Overcast, 29.3° 24hr: 29.1/24.8° Strong winds developed during the afternoon and was knocking lots of snow and ice out of the trees and off wires. Despite clear skies yesterday I saw snow in the gauge in the afternoon, banked up against the side where the wind was going. Since that was precipitation reported on the day before, I dumped it and put out a clean gauge. I did that twice yesterday (0.03"). This morning there is a very fine dusting of snow evenly spread on all surfaces, so I'm reporting that as 'new' precipitation. Yard looks like a war zone with all the big limbs still down. We're on a waiting list for clean-up with our tree service. |

Overcast, 28.6° 24hr: 23.4/36.3° There was a small chunk of ice in one corner of the gauge this morning, but since I'd observed no precip, and since the ground is scattered with 3/8" cylinder chunks of ice that melted out of the trees yesterday, I'm assuming the gauge ice was the result of one of those pieces that fell in, melted, and re-froze. Actual precipitation hasa different, even distribution over the bottom when it freezes. Still ALOT of snow/ice still up in the trees! |

Sunny, 23.7° 24hr: 23.2/40.3° A brief sprinkle at 2:30pm. All day 3/8" chunks of ice continue to fall out of the trees. Snowpack is rock solid and difficult to punch through. Finally back on track with capturing an accurate maximum temperature for the day. I called LaCrosse yesterday and the tech rep confirmed what I had read in their on-line manual. The model I just bought resets the daily min/mx itself at midnight, and there is no way to alter the timing. Checking and reporting early in the morning as I've done means that means I'd perpetually miss the high temperature of the privious day. Rats! So going forward I will record the max temp at dinner time; and read and report the min & current temp in the morning at OBS. |

Hazy sun, 11.3° with many tiny individual stars of frost on the gauge and other surfaces. 24hr: 9.0/33.3° Very surprised that bears are still active. Wednesday at midnight a mother with two cubs walked through at midnight. Because of all of the major limbs down all over the yard, instead of walking out in a straight line, they tracked up large areas in the snow. So between the downed trees, the bear tracks, and the usual dog tracks, finding "undisturbed" representative places to measure the snow depth is getting tricky a week out from the storm. Still 100% coverage. |

Fog, 41.7° 24hr: 41.5/47.8° I'd been told that the Algonquin's word for winter fog translates to "Snow Eater." Yesterday's fog wipped out most of the snow yesterday before the heavy rain even started. Basement pump on. Pouring the water from the outer gauge into the inside, measuring gauge, I noticed drops remaining on the inside. Thought of the motto, "Every Drop Counts," so I scraped down the inside with a plastic ruler and measured that: it = 0.01" of under-reported precipitation!

Freezing drizzle, 29.5° with a coating of ice on all surfaces. 24hr: 28.2/32.2° Had trouble measuring the ice thickness outside, it seems very variable, depending on the size of the object coated. So I measured my extra outer gage and compared that thickness to the icy one I'd just brought in. The ice even varied from when I measured around spots along the rim! Reporting 0.1" - 0.2" of ice accretion. No snow. |

Total Snow and Ice on Ground is difficult to measure: the ice has the snowboard sealed to the ground, so I can't even tip it up to measure the ice under the 0.2" of fresh powder. |

Tried to pull the snowboard up to reposition, but it was still frozen to the ground and the cleaned off half that was still ice covered shattered. That ice is still just under 0.2" thick. Noticed that one of the large limbs that split but is still hung up is rapidly running sap. This storm came too early in the Winter! |

All the snow in the trees had melted off overnight and fell on the snow, adding to its slushiness this morning. It's already melted completely on dark surfaces like the bluestone patio, walks, and driveway. The uncleared half of the snowboard (in the open & not under any tree branches) has 1.0" of mushy snow at 7:30am. It was interesting to see the snow develop on the higher ridgelines. I was coming home from NJ Botanical Gardens at Skylands at 3pm when snow first started on the top of the ridge in Ringwood. No snow to Route 23 through the valley, but snow was starting when I got up to West Milford. Pulling in the driveway (El. of 1,060') it was snowing heavily and already accumulating. |

Very light rain just started, 43.9° RH=83% Min/max:39.0 [yesterday a.m.'s reset] /69.1° A very fine mist started as I was walking out to the gauge; so fine you had to tilt the head up to feel it on the face to know for sure. Not even a drop yet in the gaguge, but walking back in the ground was starting to get wet. After yesterday's one glorious day of sunshine, we're back to the DDDs. |

I went out to swap out the outer gauge and snow flurries were already mixing in with the rain. Gauge = 0.74" At 4am snow covered everything except the road and bluestone patio. By 7am snow in the 'wind channel' part of the lawn was mostly gone; the average snow total on non-hardscape surfaces was 0.2" Contents of gauge was ice and snow and totaled 0.05" Garden looks so sad with tulips and bleeding hearts all covered in frozen snow/ice and bent over. |

Regular lines of snowflurries all afternoon and evening, with a very dramatic snow/graupel squall that began at 4:20pm and lasted 20 minutes. The pellets were very large sized and covered the ground. I took photos because it was hard to believe what I was seeing. Flowers in bloom and a snowcover on May 9th, following the day before's 0.02" of snow. Edited at 10:30am: changed Snow and Ice on the Ground to "T." I thought the covering had all melted when the sun came out late afternoon. But there are still small piles of half melted graupel in all the shady areas. |

Sent Significant Report after 4pm (1.39") side yard flooded and basement sump pump on. When I stepped to get the gauge the water was over the top of my Crocs. A few more heavy bands during as the storm moved through. Hope this is not our 2020 summer pattern: drought punctuated by occasional deluges from tropical systems. |

Was very surprised to see that early yesterday morning, after just receiving 0.41" of rain, the stream next to the community garden bed was still dry! The stream comes from the Sparta Mountain WMA and shows how an intact hardwood forest can act like a sponge in heavy rain events.

[Notes entered 8/05/20 at 8:30pm after our power came back, on after 30 hours; entered just the gauge total by phone this morning.]
Significant Weather Report sent in 8/4 at 1:36pm after the heavy rains ended: 2.72" that mostly came between 11:20am and 1:35pm. Very strong winds. Additional rain overnight for the 24hr total rain from Isaisa 3.08" Two day storm total = 3.65" Lots of damage. Trees down across roads; on neighbors' houses; one car smashed; our basement flooded when the power went out. It's been a very interesting day. Geez, Louise! |

Everything from the basement that got soaked when the power failed and our pumps stopped working --is now spread out all over the yard and driveway to dry. Lost power at 1:25pm on 8/4 and it wasn't restored until last night at 8pm. Nice quiet morning of birdsong after yesterday's constant roar of chain-saws and generators and utility trucks [one from Indiana!] all over the neighborhood. |

Sunny, 65.5° Min/max: 64/76° Immediately after coming in from reading the gauge a mother bear with two cubs came down our driveway and onto the patio. Interesting that she walked the cubs right past our two yellow bear-resistant garbage cans, and went straight for the black pastic bags on the patio. We're using them for basement clean-up after it flooded when we lost power. I guess they go for what in their experience has been an easy meal. If you have bears, invest in a polyethylene high density can with the screw-on lid! Our town used to make them available for half price, but you can buy a lot of places, even Amazon. |

Overcast, 64.4° with dew. Min/max: 56 [yesterday a.m.'s reset] /70° Not sure whether this is a T or another zero. Nothing in the gauge, but a pattern on the bluestone patio under open sky that looks like recent very light shower. [Added at 9:30am: definitely precipitation! A very, very fine mist is falling now.] |

Still overcast, but clearing, 57.0° Min/max: 56/70° This deluge makes September look like a normal month, when it was anything but. 16 days of non-measurable precip and a MTD subtotal yesterday of 2.52" --almost what we got in this 24hr period! Sept total = 4.89" |
