Part of the cross section (less than half), has lost its snow cover, and the deepest parts are over 2 inches. I took the core at a site closest to the average. The snow is more ice than snow at this point.

4/4/2010 7:00 AM 0.45 M M M M It hailed for a very short period of time yesterday afternoon; I don't recall the exact time. It was around 1 p.m. I believe. The hail was very small, smaller than pea-sized, and the duration was perhaps 2-3 minutes.
4/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M This was a difficult call. There was condensation on my gauge, so the .02 could have been dew. But I also noticed in my walk at Meadowbrook this morning, about a mile south of my location, that some rain had fallen in the night. My assumption was that it had also fallen at my location.

5/3/2010 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Note this is a little higher than surrounding stations as I checked my gauge at 5:45 yesterday morning rather than 7. And it rained between 5:45 and 7 yesterday.

5/14/2010 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Once more, this is far less than NWS led us to expect. There seems to be a persistent pattern of storms which collapse prior to reaching our area. While we're not anywhere close to deficit in moisture, one wonders what summer will bring.

5/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Could see thunderheads to our west last night, but no rain here, no dew either. A dry morning.
5/26/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The grass was wet with dew as was the funnel of the gauge. But no precip.
5/27/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M Just a few sprinkles in the evening as the heavy rains were pounding the Champaign/Vermilion County line. Would have liked something in between!
5/28/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Low temperature was well above the dew point so dry morning. And nearly cloudless as a cooler drier air mass settles in.
5/29/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another dry morning.
5/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Yet another dry morning.

6/7/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I had some dew in the gauge, almost .01, but no precipitation.
6/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The gauge was dry as the temperature was a good bit above the dew point. This morning's clouds have a lot of structure to them, so expect rain.
6/9/2010 7:00 AM 1.45 M M M M
6/10/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M But a very heavy dew left more than .01 in my gauge.
6/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M While there was heavy dew on the grass and the outer surface of the gauge, today there was none in the gauge. A very humid morning.

6/16/2010 7:00 AM 0.41 M M M M You can turn the rain off now.
6/17/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A very heavy dew left a residue of moisture at the bottom of the gauge. Nice to have no real precip to report!
6/18/2010 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Much lightning and thunder to our north and a tornado warning for our area around 6:20 a.m. or so, but it all must have missed us.
6/19/2010 7:00 AM 0.99 M M M M Slept through it all. Didn't know it rained until my early morning walk in the park.
6/20/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Didn't observe any rain, so the .01 in my gauge must be due to the heavy dew. Nice to have a "dry" morning!
6/21/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M Just a few drops in the gauge. It rained hard just a mile south of us while we were on our morning walk, and the sidewalks were wet. But our patio at home was dry.
6/22/2010 7:00 AM 1.18 M M M M Rain came in two storms. I was awakened by the first around 12:40 a.m. Frequent lightning and heavy rains. I was awakened by the second around 4:40 a.m. Frequent lightning, but rain didn't seem so heavy.
6/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.30 M M M M I'm surprised there wasn't more as the rain lasted for several hours during the morning and early afternoon, and seemed heavy at times.
6/24/2010 7:00 AM 0.25 M M M M This came down in the early evening from a storm that was weakening as it passed through. Lots of wind, not much rain.
6/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A heavy dew left about .01 in my gauge, but no precipitation has fallen over the past 24 hours. Cooler temperatures and lower dew points are most welcome!
6/26/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Pretty dry morning. For a change.
6/27/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
6/28/2010 7:00 AM 0.07 M M M M The rain fell in the late evening.
6/29/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A light dew on a delightfully clear, cool, dry morning.
6/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool, dry, much appreciated for this time of year.
7/1/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Continued dry and cool.

7/3/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Dry again.
7/4/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The air is definitely "juicier" this morning as the dew point was up considerably.
7/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.14 M M M M An unexpected and unpredicted downpour. Noticed we had more in our little corner of the "metro area". It appeared we were closer to the core of the "storm". Needed a little moisture.
7/6/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Clear and dry.
7/7/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very thin layer of fog and dew was heavy, but no precip. Tall cumulus clouds off to the west early, but faded with the dawn.
7/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.09 M M M M This is more than nearby locations. There were still puddles and rain dripping off the trees in our neighborhood.
7/9/2010 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M
7/10/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
7/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
7/12/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I know there were sprinkles around us, but nothing here.
7/13/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Rain threatened this morning, but none has yet materialized.
7/14/2010 7:00 AM 1.41 M M M M I wasn't home when this fell or I would have filed a Significant Weather report. Where I was (about 5 miles northwest), the rain lasted less than an hour. I note that it was much more intense at my location than at others in my area.
7/15/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Although there was more than .01 of dew collected in the gauge.
7/16/2010 7:00 AM 0.31 M M M M
7/17/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It was a very dewy morning, so, again, about .01 in my gauge from dew. Very juicy air.
7/18/2010 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M
7/19/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M There was fog and a very heavy dew which deposited .01 in my gauge. I do not believe there was any precipitation.
7/20/2010 7:00 AM 1.14 M M M M
7/21/2010 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M
7/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.09 M M M M
7/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M
7/24/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M
7/25/2010 7:00 AM 1.06 M M M M The first wave on Saturday evening left just a trace, but the second wave, sometime in the night, woke me up with intense lightning and thunder, and featured intense rainfall. I don't know if there were any other waves. If so, I slept through them.
7/26/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M But nearly .02 of dew in the gauge, which is strange, since I didn't see any dew. I'm going to work on the gauge today!
7/27/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A little moisture from dew.
7/28/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another dry day.
7/29/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M Despite rumbles of thunder, a spectacular rainbow, and even a hint of a double rainbow yesterday evening, we just got sprinkles which quickly evaporated. The gauge was bone dry this morning.
7/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
7/31/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M A few sprinkles around 9 Friday evening. Had I not been coming home at the time, I wouldn't have known it rained.
8/1/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The outer gauge had condensation, but that's all. Another day without rain. Yard is starting to get a little brown from heat stress.
8/2/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M There was fog on the prairie a mile south of us but none here, just heavy dew. Still no precipitation.
8/3/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bone dry this morning. Storms to our north.
8/4/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 10th straight morning without measurable precipitation. A very warm and humid morning with more of the same ahead.
8/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.27 M M M M Fell in about 10 minutes late yesterday evening.
8/6/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Though, as often is the case, there was a little moisture at the bottom of the gauge because of the dew.
8/7/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A dry morning. Cool though.
8/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
8/9/2010 4:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Early start to the day. Again, no precipitation. The last two weeks I've had just 0.27 inches, so with the heat, lots of evapotranspiration, and yards are browning up. At least mine is.
8/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
8/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
8/24/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Relatively light dew fall.
8/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A dew point much lower than the morning low made for a very dry ground and gauge.
8/26/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
8/27/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It continues to be bone dry.
8/28/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
8/29/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still dry as a bone. More humid out. And too hot.
8/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Continuing very dry. A slim hope for some rain today.
8/31/2010 7:00 AM 0.25 M M M M A heavy downpour lasted for less than 10 minutes. Not a lot of rain, but it dampened things a bit.
9/1/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
9/2/2010 7:00 AM 0.58 M M M M It was still raining when I checked the gauge, and is now raining heavily as I post this at 7:27. We need the rain!
9/3/2010 7:00 AM 1.46 M M M M And no flooding anywhere. You know it's been dry!
9/4/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Dry but greener!
9/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
9/6/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
9/7/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
9/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
9/9/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We must have been at the dew point or near it as some moisture had condensed in the gauge. How nice to have to wear a hoodie to check it!
9/10/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The gauge and ground were dry as clouds prevented the temperature from falling anywhere close to the dew point. But at 6:30 a.m., there was a brilliant, partial rainbow in the west, just the "legs" showing, the south "leg" much brighter than the north, and no arc.
9/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.18 M M M M
9/12/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M Just a little in the bottom of the gauge.
9/13/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Dry this morning.
9/14/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cloudy but dry this morning.
9/15/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nothing in the gauge. There was a fine mist in the air at times yesterday, but I saw none at my station.
9/16/2010 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M
9/17/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A heavy dew had condensed on the outside of the gauge this morning, leaving a small amount inside, but no precipitation.
9/18/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A dry morning.
9/19/2010 6:00 AM T M M M M Rain was just beginning to fall as I took my measurement an hour earlier than standard. I'll have more in my gauge than most tomorrow morning.
9/20/2010 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Please note that this is from 6 a.m. yesterday until 7 a.m. today. There wasn't much rain anyway, but most of it fell early yesterday morning.
9/21/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I'm recording 0.00, although there was a trace of water in the gauge, and the outside of the gauge was dry. I observed no precipitation during the day yesterday, and nothing on the radar in the late evening or early morning.
9/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M Before and as I checked my gauge, could see flashes of lightning to the southwest, and the radar screen showed precipitation over my site, but apparently it wasn't reaching the ground.
9/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.68 M M M M This all fell between 8 and 11 on the morning of the 22nd.
9/24/2010 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Light rain was falling when I went out to check the gauge, heavier rain before I posted this, so we'll see what's in the gauge tomorrow.
9/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M
9/26/2010 5:45 AM 0.21 M M M M As usual on Sundays, I had to check the gauge early. Light rain was falling as I left home.
9/27/2010 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Please note that this record started at 5:45 on the 26th, not 7:00 a.m., so it includes precipitation that fell between 5:45 and 7 a.m. on Sunday.
9/28/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M A few drops of precipitation early this morning (around 6).
9/29/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Clear and dry.
9/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cloudy but dry.

1/7/2010 1/10/2010 7:00 AM 4 0.41 6.0 M My wife suffered a broken back in a snowplow-pedestrian accident on the 7th, had surgery on the 8th, and this was the first day I could empty my gauge. Didn't have time to take a core.
8/10/2010 8/21/2010 12:00 PM 12 1.25 M M I know there were some hot days while I was in Seattle, so it may be possible there was some evaporation.
