10/2/2010 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 3am the temp was 60F, then the clouds rolled in so it warmed to 63F at around 5am with radar showing some echos just south of us heading west into s. sac at that time (perhaps sprinkles). nothing here in my rain gauge, but semi-threatening clouds linger. Low was 60F.
10/3/2010 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M plenty of clouds but nothing in rain gauge at observation time...however at time of typing this out sprinkles were falling at 9:40am.

10/27/2010 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cold enough to form frost, the low was 36F this am! Not a surprise since it was already down to 33F at one spot in the foothills at 11:30pm last night few miles west of Placerville. This was our first 30's of the season. Just 2 nights ago, we had our first 40's of the season.
10/28/2010 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M a lot of clouds but no rain here. Low this am was 48F. Ironic how two night ago we had the coldest temperature I have ever seen so early in the season in 17 years of record keeping and just a week or so ago was the latest 90's for a calendar year I have ever seen.

Thundershowers started in the morning and continued until evening. After the .22" fell early yesterday morning (see yesterdays report) only another .09" fell between 8am and noon. We got another .25" yesterday afternoon, then another .01" last night. The little hail we got was only pea size, however it hailed so much it looked like snow from Watt and Marconi ave northward. Their hail size was 1/2" in diameter. I saw a funnel cloud way off in the distance while on the freeway (hwy 50) towards Lincoln or Rocklin area shortly before noon. Interesting contrast... while Sacramento metro area had a thundery day yesterday, a friend just west of placerville only heard thunder once all day.
