10/15/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Had almost .02 in my gauge this morning, although the outside of the gauge and grass were dry. I'm pretty sure it didn't rain; perhaps condensation happened early in the night and dried out. At any rate, recorded .00.

11/17/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A frosty morning with frozen condensation around the gauge, soon to melt, I'm sure.

11/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M I'm quite surprised. There was enough rain to leave puddles at Meadowbrook Park, a mile south of my house, but only .01 in my gauge.
11/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.88 M M M M We must have been in a pocket of somewhat less rain here compared to west and south of us. Still, a wonderful relief after a very dry spell. Could use more.
11/24/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Although the radar was showing the pink of an icy mix overhead from 5:30 a.m. on, not a drop found its way to my gauge. As I report this, we've had sleet, freezing rain, and rain, but that's for tomorrow's report!
11/25/2010 7:00 AM 1.55 M M M M Been a long time since I had more than one inner gauge's worth of rain. Too late for the grass and trees, but nice to get the recharge moisture before everything freezes.

12/12/2010 5:45 AM 0.98 0.3 M 3.5 M Please note that this measurement, like all my Sunday measurements, was taken at 5:45, not 7 a.m. Snow fell during that 1.25 hours, and will be accounted for tomorrow.
12/13/2010 7:00 AM 0.14 1.9 M 4.0 M Please note again that the last measurement was taken at 5:45 a.m. yesterday, so this total includes any precipitation which fell between 5:45 and 7:00 a.m. yesterday. Also, snowfall was very difficult to measure. My yard was scoured as was my snowboard. But I feel that the measurement I got was from an area of the yard that was fairly protected from both scouring and drifting. Snow depth is the best I could do.

2/1/2011 7:00 AM 0.50 0.8 M 3.5 M This was snow, sleet, and freezing rain creating a nearly impenetrable surface. The board is frozen to the ground, and the snosleerain is frozen to the board, so I just left it there. If I can poke the measuring stick through it tomorrow morning, I'll subtract the 0.8, which, I think, was much more sleet than snow.
2/2/2011 7:00 AM 1.21 5.2 M 8.0 M This came in several different forms. There was snow, sleet, freezing rain, a long period of sleet, and then snow at the end. I'd estimate we received about 3.2 inches of sleet and 2.0 inches of snow.
2/3/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 T M 7.0 M
2/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 M Very difficult to measure snow and ice. Used a hammer to drive the measuring stick to the ground.

2/6/2011 7:00 AM 0.21 2.9 M 11.0 M It seemed like there was more snow elsewhere than on the board. More like 4 than 3, but maybe not.

I got the gauge down to the ground, and then shoveled around it to get the core up and out. I was surprised how much moisture there was!

8/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hope the promised rain materializes tonight. My grass is brown; where the soil is exposed, the ground is cracked. Fortunately it's been cooler.
8/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M If there was a trace here, I missed it. At any rate, what we need is a soaking and NWS has downgraded the likelihood of rain. The grass is turning a grayer brown, and several bushes' leaves are turning yellow and falling. Even our evergreens aren't.
8/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.40 M M M M This fell in two waves yesterday evening around 6 and 7 p.m. The first wave included lightning and strong winds, the second just strong winds. In both cases the period of rainfall was short, maybe 15 minutes, but heavy.

8/20/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M There was actually nothing in my gauge, but I felt a few drops yesterday afternoon when I was out in the yard. Unfortunately, this accomplishes nothing in terms of my shrubs, trees, and grass.

8/24/2011 7:00 AM 1.31 M M M M This welcome rain fell in at least four different bands in the early to mid-afternoon. Keep it coming!
8/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Not sure when this fell.
8/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Actually exactly one drop in the gauge, probably because of a heavy dew.
8/27/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
8/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sorry. Measured this yesterday, but failed to enter it.

8/30/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another dry day. Too late for corn anyway. Was hoping the bean farmers could benefit. Need rain.
8/31/2011 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Fell overnight.
9/1/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A few drops of dew had condensed within the gauge.
9/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The drought continues.
9/3/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
9/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Rumbles of thunder from off to the south. Can see from the precip totals who got lucky. It wasn't us. More drought.
9/5/2011 7:00 AM 0.20 M M M M Some nice unexpected showers Sunday morning. There were still a few puddles in the park when we walked mid-afternoon.

9/14/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M Again, while there was no water in the gauge, there were drops on the windshield of my van overnight. So enough to register a trace.
9/15/2011 7:00 AM 0.41 M M M M This fell yesterday afternoon and evening as a steady cold rain.

9/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M There was .01 in the gauge, but I judged this to be dew, as the gauge was covered in dew, and there had been dense fog.

9/29/2011 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M This is what was in my gauge. I believe that most of it was dew, but I also know that there was at least a trace of precipitation. Since I can't tell which is which, I included the entire amount as per protocol.
