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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

I'm ashamed to say I haven't really tried to core the accumulated snow, but did this morning with the suggested method of impressing the gauge on what snow it could penetrate, and then using a drywall saw to cut down to the ground. 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! |

My gauge is very lonely. Even one rain drop would give it some company. An inch would be lovely, but I fear there are no inches in sight. |

Hope the promised rain materializes tonight. My grass is brown; where the soil is exposed, the ground is cracked. Fortunately it's been cooler. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Actually exactly one drop in the gauge, probably because of a heavy dew. |

I would never have know that it sprinkled except that I was outside at 6:30 this morning and felt it, and it left drops on my patio chairs and cooker cover. |

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. |

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. |
