10/10/2009 7:00 AM 0.38 M M M M Rain ended by 5:30 pm yesterday. 34 degrees this morning and frost with patchy fog. Guage iced up with dew... had to scrape off ice on the outside to read the inner cylinder. It was still liquid. Have to wait for sunshine to hit it to remove the funnel and empty the inner cylinder.
10/11/2009 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M With the cloud cover, not as cold as predicted... 38 degrees at 7 am. The 0.01 reported is the melted ice on the guage yesterday. Yesterday the guage was froze up so I could not dump it, but I was able to see enough to take the reading on the inner cylinder. Later in the day the ice had melted and the reading was higher by 0.01 inches. I wasn't sure if I should go back and edit yesterday's amount or put it on today's. I did not change yesterday's, since I put it on the observation for today.

10/17/2009 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Seemed to "sprinkle" all day... but not much in the way of volume. I drove to town (30 miles)in the middle part of the day and had to wipers on most of the time, but they were set on "mist".
10/18/2009 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M I was surprised... thought there was not any measurable precip since yesterday... but clearly liquid in the guage measuring as reported.

Light rain still falling. Field ponds are filling and basement sump pump is running for the first time in a long time. Until now the rain has been frequent, but light amounts, so the ground could soak it up. This rain has exceeded the ability of the soil to hold it.

10/29/2009 7:00 AM T M M M M Liquid in the guage, but not enough to call it 0.01. Ground was damp, so it must have sprinkled overnight.

Hazy to foggy... visibility 1/4 to 1/2 mile (horizonal... vertically the moon was clear, but my 2 year old granddaughter noticed yesterday, "The moon is broken!" Almost last quarter... I'll have to work on that concept when she gets older. I've travelled to schools for the past 20 years with a portable planetarium teaching astronomy and moon phases is a tough concept for young children.)

12/14/2009 7:00 AM T M M M M I don't know if it was from light mist or condensation, but there were enough drops in the 4" outer guage to show up in the cylinder, but not enough to call 0.01". 39 degrees... 4 degrees warmer than last evening.

12/20/2009 7:00 AM 0.01 T 0.01 M M Came as snow flurries yesterday. Most areas are bare as the temp. was above freezing for a while. Some protected area have 1/2" at the maximum still on the ground.
12/21/2009 7:00 AM 0.03 0.7 0.03 M M Light mist became light snow yesterday afternoon. It was mostly over by 9 pm.
12/22/2009 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Just enough of snow/ice on the concrete walks to make it look like "glitter", but not enough to register in the guage.
12/23/2009 7:00 AM 0.17 M M M M Light, but steady rain at the time of observation... temp 34 degrees, so no ice.
12/24/2009 7:00 AM 0.51 M M M M Total of 0.43 by 8 pm yesterday... light misty rain falling at the time of the observation this morning.
12/25/2009 7:00 AM 1.49 M M M M Rain stopped between 6:00 and 6:30 am this morning. At 3:30 pm yesterday afternoon the total since 7 am was 0.86 and it was raining all evening. Field ponds are full, but at least I don't have to "scoop" it or wear my Yak traks (for ice). Merry Christmas!!!
12/26/2009 7:00 AM T M M M M Very light drizzle changing to snow flurries yesterday... left a few patches of ice on the sidewalk, but it evaporated overnight. A few flakes in the air at the observation time this morning, but nothing in the guage to measure. A scattered skiff of snow on the ground, but not enough to measure.
12/27/2009 7:00 AM 0.02 1.5 M M M Snow yesterday came with strong winds, making it hard to find a sheltered place to measure. It was snowing lightly without wind at the time of observation.
12/28/2009 7:00 AM 0.14 4.5 0.14 4.5 0.14 Snowed yesterday until mid-afternoon. I was gone when it stopped and the wind was starting to "re-arrange" the snow by the time I got back home. The snow accumulation is an estimate, with no place really out of the wind to do a more exact measurement. This morning I have drifts of 18 to 20 inches and some bare ground. I don't think the wind blew snow out of the guage before I measured the melted water last evening, so it is pretty accurate.
12/29/2009 7:00 AM T M M M M When the cold front came through yesterday, there were snow flakes in the air for a very short time... No evidence in the guage or on the ground. Ground has clear areas and drifts, so I didn't try to measure. 5 degrees here at 7 am, down from 10 degrees at 5 am.
12/30/2009 7:00 AM T M M M M Snow started about the time of the 7 am observation. No additional accumulation since yesterday.

1/7/2010 8:40 AM 0.31 5.8 0.31 7.0 M Snow started yesterday evening about 8 pm. Estimate 4 inches by the normal 7 am observation time, still snowing. I measured at 8:40 am when it had become lighter snow. Between 8 and 8:40 it changed from big flakes to small grandules.
1/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.02 1.0 0.02 M M Had 0.01 additional moisture melted from snow in the guage yesterday when the snow stopped. Additional 0.01 from snow overnight. Wind began yesterday about 9 am and drifts make it hard to measure total on the ground now. Temp was 19 at 6 this morning and down to 12 by the time I'm sending this in.
1/9/2010 7:00 AM T M M 5.5 0.75 Trace comes from observed snowflakes in the air a couple of times yesterday. Nothing to measure from new snowfall.
1/10/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 10 degrees below zero. Yesterday the air was clear, but frost was forming in the air, but I didn't record it as a trace, since there were no clouds. It did warm up enough on the south side of the house with the heat escaping, icles were forming from the eves and dropping to the area below with a "crash"! Need a sign like around the Chicago downtown... "Beware of falling ice!"
1/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Had blowing snow yesterday evening that filled in the walk paths so I had to scoop snow again this morning, but nothing in the guage, so I guess it was all old snow. 24 degrees this morning feels almost "balmy" after the sub zero of the past several days.
1/12/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M Snowflakes were observed about 8 pm yesterday evening. Just a few flakes in the car headlights as I came home from town, nothing to measure. Some melting from the roof yesterday afternoon, but not much change in the snow cover on the ground.

1/16/2010 7:00 AM T M M M M Light mist was enough to make a couple of drops in the guage, but less than 0.01 total. Vis at 3/4 mile with temp of 29, slick spots.

5/11/2010 7:00 AM 1.05 M M M M A mystery... I have a small guage located near a building and trees next to the path to my office... used to remind me to check the CoCoRaHS guage located away from trees and building. Usually they are similar, although the small guage doesn't read as fine as the larger guage. Today the small guage read 1.3+ compared to the large guage at 1.05. I can't find any reason the large guage would have plugged up, although the inner guage was full. Anyway, I reported what I read on the large guage. The rain began at 5:45 pm yesterday with a very light mist. It increased into the evening hours with T-storms. I heard it on the roof at 5:30 am this morning and it was raining steady, but light at 6:30 am. No rain falling at the observation time.
5/12/2010 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Very light rain began at 6:30 am this morning. When I recorded at 7:00 am, the sidewalk under the big maple tree was still dry... so I think most of the amount recorded was from yesterday morning.

8/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I debated about a "0" or a "T"... the ground was damp, but there was some fog earlier, so it might have been just dew.

Since I can't say for sure any moisture "fell" I am recording a "0".
