Problem is the day it was sent the temp had been 70 degrees. Well really maybe just posted a bit late since we had had first snow 3 days before.

It wasn’t raining at time of my 5 a.m. measure, but I think it is now again at 6 a.m. (rain gauge emptied and ready to measure for tomorrow’s report).
6/19/2020 5:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Light rain between 6 and 8 a.m. on Thursday. Thank you Nolan for reminding us that comments are valuable if they are rain related.
6/20/2020 5:00 AM 1.82 M M M M A brief but heavy thunderstorm came thru Annandale Friday afternoon, dropping between 1.50 and 1.60 inch in the span of 15 minutes between 2:50-3:05 p.m. I was unable to get accurate measure for those 15 minutes because it was unsafe to step outside until half an hour later. An SWR was submitted to report the heaviest rainfall. Light rain continued until late afternoon (total measure 1.72) and then another t’storm came through after 8 p.m. with an additional measure of 0.10 inch. There was no hail, and flooding is not really an issue in this neighborhood.

7/21/2020 5:00 AM 1.24 M M M M Yes it really did rain here. Maybe it was because I watered my plants. Try it, it might work! After listening to some rumbles of thunder, the rain started at about 5:35 p.m. and ended after 8 p.m. Heaviest rain occurred between 5:35 and 6:00 p.m. measuring 0.60 inch.
7/22/2020 5:00 AM 0.88 M M M M Early evening rumbles of thunder again and then a shower during the night which I didn’t even realise with the A.C. on.
7/23/2020 5:00 AM 1.22 M M M M The sky got very dark at 3:30 p.m. and then windy, thunderstorm came through and heaviest rain for about 30 minutes. It was unsafe to go out to take a measure. Sound of thunder followed lightning flashes by about 2-3 seconds. Rain continued until a little after 7 p.m.

7/29/2020 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M You all got some thunderstorms, we got nothing here in Annandale. I might have heard a few faint rumbles. Nevertheless when I went out to check my rain gauge this morning, it was bone dry and upside down. The kids next door were out playing and I think they knocked it over. No harm done. But I think I might like to show them how it works so if it happens again, they can right it properly.
7/30/2020 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Time for me to send my snow report. None. I thought I may have seen a flake but I believe it was probably an errant bit of dryer lint.

The rain started at about 4 o’clock and was heavy for 20 minutes; then subsided to a light shower. Moderate steady rain showers continued throughout the night and I don’t think it ever subsided. Continuing at time of measure. Flooding is not usually an issue where I live. Today’s rain may be worthy of an SWR!
8/5/2020 5:00 AM 1.52 M M M M Rain continued Tuesday as a result of Isaias (have we all learned how to spell that now?). I took hourly measures from 5 a.m. (after previous day’s report).

When it happens during the night I can’t really keep track of what’s going on, I hope that doesn’t mean I am not being diligent with my rain watching (I’m sleeping!).
