11/26/2009 7:00 AM 5.16 M M M M 5.14 inches yesterday, plus 0.02 inch after midnight. It began at 7:00 a.m. By 8:40 a.m. (100 minutes later), 4.16 inches had fallen. Yesterday's rain was No. 5 for rain in a single day, for my 15 years of observations in Sarasota. It was also the most rain in one day since 2001. Light to moderate rain much of the rest of the day. By the time I left home to deliver Meals on Wheels at 10:00 a.m. there was little sign of all the rain that had fallen earlier. It is amazing how quickly the signs of even a large rainstorm can disappear in Florida.
11/27/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Zero today. My 5.16 inch reading yesterday (Wednesday's storm) was the highest reading in the U.S. There were two comparable readings near me, and a couple of nearby observers did not report, probably because of Thanksgiving. On the other hand, there was a reading of 0.02 inch in southeast Sarasota County !

1/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 27 degrees this morning. Not my lowest in 16 winters of observations. That was 26 in February 1996. But it matched my second coldest, 27 in January 1997.
1/12/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain. Surprise. This morning's 27 degrees matched yesterday's low. Four straight days of below-freezing temperatures here.
1/13/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain. 32 degrees this morning on my old Taylor high-low thermometer. Probably my last temperature report for z while, since looks like the crisis is over for now.
