There were a few ice granules (sleet?) collected in my funnel hole (amounting to .01" of precip after I pushed it through and into the measuring tube). Currently NOT raining with overcast skies and calm winds. Expecting some more rain as the morning progresses.

12/15/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Foggy this morning and breezy. Lots of condensation from the fog to the point that usually shaded areas (this time of year) of pavement and cement-work are wet from condensation.
12/16/2019 7:55 AM T M M M M I was a little late checking the gauge this morning, so not sure when the precipitation started. Currently there is a light misty-rain falling with overcast skies and a light breeze. Temps are in the mid-to-upper 30's - brrr.
12/17/2019 6:15 AM T M M M M Trace from continuation of misty drizzle that was falling when I took the reading yesterday morning. Precip continued for about another hour after yesterday's observation. Currently clear skies with a light breeze and cold temps.

1/9/2020 5:45 AM T M M M M Spitting mist collecting on my windshield as I check my dry gauge, so a Trace it is. Currently light misty rain, overcast skies, light wind.
1/10/2020 7:15 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I logged "T" yesterday morning as it was spitting a misty rain when I read my gauge. I did NOT choose to log T this morning as the misty rain yesterday stopped around 8:00am. Currently skies are overcast, winds are blowing, and it is very warm - setting us up for severe weather later this afternoon and into the evening. Hunker down North Texas!
1/11/2020 7:00 AM 2.49 M M M M It has been raining pretty much unabated since 6:20pm yesterday. We experienced periods of lightning on and off at least until I went to bed around 11:00pm. I woke up to the sound of sleet on the window and found some sleet in the funnel of my gauge. Since it was still raining this morning I made sure to make my observation at 7:00am (give or take a minute). It is currently overcast with light rain and a stiff breeze and much cooler than yesterday. I found a small leaf in my inner tube so it is possible that my measurement is understated if it blocked or caused excessive splashing. I used the weight method to arrive at total precipitation (1050g-548g)/201=2.4975". I recorded this as 2.49". Is this correct or should I use standard rounding rules?
1/12/2020 7:00 AM 0.10 0.5 M 0.0 M Shortly after making my report yesterday we started getting snow a very wet snow (started around 8:00am). It melted pretty fast but I estimate about .5" fell here. To the west and north there was a pretty good accumulation (2-3 inches by my estimate on the road directly west of my house - we were driving that way about 9:15am). There is a little snow nestled down among the dormant grass on the north side of my house this morning, where the sun never hits this time of year, and also on an elevated wood decorative bridge in my garden. Precipitation ending value below is continuation from yesterday's report (hence no Precip Began value recorded on this report) Currently skies are mostly clear and winds are calm and our great "Snowmaggedon" event for 2020 is over.
1/13/2020 7:40 AM T M M M M Misty drizzle falling now. Just a trace collected in the gauge - barely enough to shake out of the inside tube. Currently overcast with calm winds and misty drizzle falling.
1/14/2020 7:00 AM T M M M M I am recording a Trace today since it was drizzling yesterday morning at the time I took my observation, and continued for another couple of hours after. It is mostly cloudy this morning with calm winds and a very heavy dew fall.
1/15/2020 7:30 AM T M M M M Woke to cloudy drizzle this morning. Currently very light winds, overcast and drizzle.

1/17/2020 7:00 AM 1.01 M M M M Just over an inch of rain fell in the last 24 hours, and it is still raining lightly. There were some early heavy rainfalls but for the most part it has been a steady rain all day and night. I used the weight method to calculate rainfall: (758gm-555gm)/201gmpin=1.0099in. Currently Overcast skies, a slight breeze, and light rain falling.
1/18/2020 5:45 AM 0.10 M M M M Eight straight days reportint at least a Trace of precip totaling 3.70 inches. That's a pretty good start to the new year! Currently skies are clear and there is a light wind blowing.

1/24/2020 6:45 AM T M M M M This is additional precip that fell after I took my reading yesterday morning. It was damp and misty/drizzly for most of the morning and then we got some partly cloudy around 11:30am then later in the day more overcast skies. Currently clear skies with a slight breeze.

2/5/2020 6:00 AM 0.08 M M M M Currently overcast with a light rain falling and windy. The temp is hovering just above freezing so we have the potential for sleet/snow/wintry mix.

6/20/2020 7:11 AM 2.40 M M M M What a gully washer last night. I turned in two Significant Weather reports, one at .33 and another at .93 then went to bed. I had no idea we would get over 2 inches of rain. Lots of thunder, and hence lightning, though I didn't see a lot of lightning near me. And the wind, we had stuff blown over that has never blown over before (mostly potted plants, but some "yard art.") It was no mere zephyr that blew through. I used the weight method to determine rainfall: (1033-551)/201=2.3980. Currently overcast skies but clearing with calm winds.
6/21/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overcast, windy and feels like rain in the air, though none has fallen yet.
6/22/2020 7:14 AM 1.57 M M M M About half of the observed rain from this morning came during a storm that started Sunday morning (yesterday) around 8:15 am. The rest came during a storm that started sometime last night and is still in progress. Both storms had lightning associated with them. We lost power briefly mid-morning yesterday due to a lightning strike. Currently it is raining and skies are overcast with a light breeze.
6/23/2020 7:43 AM 4.05 M M M M What a storm last night. I delayed taking my observation ~45 mins because of lightning in the area. Lightning started around 3:30am with the worst of it hitting about 4:00am along with what sounded like the heaviest rain. We had several (like 10 to 20) strikes where the flash, the crack, and the rumble were simultaneous, this around 4:00am. The rain kept up heavy and steady all morning and it is still raining moderately heavily now. In the ~30 minutes the new gauge has been out it has collected .12" I probably should have submitted a significant weather report last night but with the close lightning strikes I didn't want to be on my computer nor out checking the gauge. I used the weight method to determine rainfall collected: (1365-551)/201=4.04975" Currently overcast with moderate rainfall and calm winds. I have not heard any thunder for 30 or 45 minutes.
6/24/2020 7:00 AM 0.26 M M M M This is the additional rain that fell on Tuesday morning 6/23 after I took the observation that morning. Currently skies are clear and winds are calm.

9/2/2020 7:31 AM 5.18 M M M M A real gully washer! My lovely wife is watching the gauge while I am out of town and sending me pictures each morning there is precipitation. Today she had a much bigger job since over 1". I normally weigh over an inch but I have not told her how to do that yet, so she did the old method of multiple measures into the inner tube. Thank you dear!
9/3/2020 7:40 AM T M M M M Just under .01, so T. Not sure if this was from the spattering of rain we had yesterday or if it was from this morning. Currently a light drizzle, so will be reporting at least a T again tomorrow.
9/4/2020 7:00 AM T M M M M It was a light misty-rain when the gauge was checked yesterday so today gets a T.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
10/13/2019 10/21/2019 7:00 AM 9 0.81 M M Returned from a week out of town last night (10/20) around 8:00pm. The gauge had .03" in it, but I don't know if that was from earlier in the week or part of the storm that was moving through. Around 11:00pm we got lots of rain with high winds - so high that I suspect I am under-reporting the rain that actually fell. I did not have the foresight to remove the funnel prior to the front moving through so it is possible a lot of precip splashed out. Fortunately my area of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex was spared the destructive tornadoes that passed through last night. All I received were high winds and heavy rain. I did NOT file a Significant Weather report last night.
11/24/2019 12/02/2019 7:00 AM 9 1.06 M M Out of town for a week. Not sure when the precip fell and there was some condensation on the underside of the funnel so probably under reporting depending upon how much evaporation occurred (I had taken out the inner tube just in case we had a freeze event). Measured using the weight technique: (677-463)/201=1.064677.
12/7/2019 12/09/2019 7:00 AM 3 0.00 M M Currently mostly cloudy skies with wind.
12/22/2019 1/06/2020 7:00 AM 16 0.36 M M Back from 2 weeks trip. Registered .36". I had taken the inner tube out in case there was a precip and freezing weather. Lots of condensation INSIDE my gauge. I shook as much down as possible into the main tube then poured into the measuring tube. Cross checked by weight and am closer to .37 (.368159) but going with the visual measurement as I'm concerned now with the accuracy of my scale. Currently clear skies and calm winds.

3/24/2020 5/22/2020 7:00 AM 60 2.34 M M I was out of town on an extended trip. My wife took pictures of the rainfall, but was not consistent with observation times nor did she check for zero rain, so I have added up all her observations for the timeframe: 3/28 - 0.15 3/30 - 0.01 4/1 - 0.39 4/3 - 0.08 4/4 - 0.04 4/5 - 0.25 4/6 - 0.01 4/12 - 0.63 4/19 - 0.03 4/23 - 0.02 4/28 - 0.03 4/29 - 0.15 5/5 - 0.10 5/8 - 0.09 5/12 - 0.11 5/14 - 0.22 5/22 - 0.03 5/23 - 0.83 5/24 - 0.10 5/26 - 0.83 6/5 - 0.01 Total - 4.11
5/23/2020 6/05/2020 7:00 AM 14 1.77 M M Continuation of the multi-day report since it will only let me report 60 days max per report. 3/28 - 0.15 3/30 - 0.01 4/1 - 0.39 4/3 - 0.08 4/4 - 0.04 4/5 - 0.25 4/6 - 0.01 4/12 - 0.63 4/19 - 0.03 4/23 - 0.02 4/28 - 0.03 4/29 - 0.15 5/5 - 0.10 5/8 - 0.09 5/12 - 0.11 5/14 - 0.22 5/22 - 0.03 5/23 - 0.83 5/24 - 0.10 5/26 - 0.83 6/5 - 0.01
