Besides the light drizzle at the time of observation yesterday, we got a brief light rain just before 2:30 PM (w/no actual accumulation in the gauge). If one had not seen these at the time, they would not realize we got anything. I was informed by a coworker today that she experienced a brief snow shower in the city of Oregon, IL yesterday around dinner time. It started as graupel and changed to big wet flakes of snow; and, of course, melted on contact with the ground.

I can't say which is the more accurate figure. My gauge is still on a 6' pole and the new/total snow measurement is off the board, which could be wind swept, or could be in a drift.
1/14/2012 6:20 AM T T M 3.5 0.38 Bone chilling cold, 0 degrees; 29.97 Hg; 50% RH; clear skies; calm air; and a light frost. Although we had light flurries most of the day, yesterday, there was very little accumulation in the gauge or on the board. My original measurement, taken yesterday morning was solely off the board as the general snow cover had drifts and valleys. Today, however, the wind had leveled the snow surface so I attempted a reading in the open yard. I am still not certain it is accurate, but the water content seems to support the measured depth. So, yesterday's actual depth and moisture equivalent should probably be closer to today's then the original report. Of course, there is always the fact that I am measuring in a yard, while the farm fields around me are swept clean in places; and I am sure one would get entirely different readings out in the open country. * I should also note that I am doing my water equivalent measurements by weight this year - I have four outer cylinders so I can make multiple measurements. However, I did let the snow melt in the cylinders while I was at work and checked the volume when I came home, and it was spot on.
1/15/2012 6:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 0.25 Very cold, 13 degrees; 30.18 Hg; 56% RH; mostly cloudy, w/slightly broken, high, thin, puffy clouds; a light breeze from the WNW; and little or no frost. Although the depth of the snow did not drop very much, the water content did.

It was hard to measure depth as it had a hard crust which broke when penetrated by the yardstick and no supporting snow.

There is a fine mist hanging in the air, not really raining, reducing visibility to around 1 mile.

1/21/2012 7:20 AM 0.40 4.6 0.45 5.5 0.71 Very cold, 9 degrees; 30.09 Hg; 56% RH; overcast skies, w/visibility obscured at the horizon by what is apparently a very light snowfall; and a light breeze from the North. All melted values are by weight. And, once again, I must note that snow depths in my yard are considerably deeper than the surrounding farm fields.
1/22/2012 6:20 AM 0.01 0.3 0.12 4.5 1.15 Quite cold, 19 degrees; 29.83 Hg; 77% RH; overcast skies, and snowing very fine flakes; with a gentle breeze, gusting to a moderate breeze, from the SSE. I would trust the gauge over the board again today as it is still on a pole and the snow on the board was a drift ranging from 0 to 0.07 of an inch. Melted values are by weight.

We had some fine, wind driven snow, heavy at times early yesterday, perhaps as much as 0.02", but rising temps melted it. Winds have created a drifted landscape; w/snow depths varying from bare ground to over 8"; so I took a sample where it appeared the snow was sheltered from the wind.

1/27/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 29 degrees; 29.71 Hg; 65% RH; clear skies; a light breeze from the WNW; and no frost. Snow drifts still remain, especially in shaded areas, but more ground shows every day.
1/28/2012 6:20 AM 0.07 0.5 0.07 0.5 M Quite cold, 20 degrees; 29.85 Hg; 54% RH; clear skies; w/a moderate breeze from the West.It would appear that my board is located in a drift area this year as it had well over 1-1/2" on it, so I took a sample off my front sidewalk as being more representative of the actual snowfall. I did not take a separate Total Snow measurement as what was there was mainly in ditches and other shaded areas or plowed drifts along roads. Even now, the new snow was blown clear in many areas.
1/29/2012 6:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 28 degrees; 29.85 Hg; 52% RH; overcast skies, w/a clear patch along the SE horizon; a moderate breeze, gusting to a fresh breeze, from the West; and no frost. If we got any precipitation over night, it has been evaporated by the wind
1/30/2012 5:00 AM 0.01 0.2 M T M Freezing cold; 24 degrees; 29.94 Hg; 59% RH; overcast skies; a gentle breeze from the SSE; and no frost. We had a brief but heavy snowfall yesterday morning, which melted/evaporated in the afternoon from sun and wind. I am sure the accumulation was greater than the catch in the gauge due to high winds during the snowfall period.
1/31/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Cold, 41 degrees; 29.74 Hg; 67% RH; clear but slightly hazy skies; a light breeze, gusting to a gentle breeze, from the SW; and no dew or frost. Most of the unshaded snow is gone, except in natural and plowed drifts.
2/1/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Freezing cold, 30 degrees; 29.91 Hg; 82% RH; overcast skies, w/a light fog reducing visibility to under three miles; calm to light air air from the NW; with a heavy dew and a moderate frost (the gauge was covered with liquid condensation, and the ground with frost).
2/2/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 30 degrees; 30.06 Hg; 86% RH; undetermined skies, w/a dense fog reducing visibility to about 300 feet; calm air; and a light frost. Some snow remains from the deepest drifts and in the shadiest areas.
2/3/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 29 degrees; 30.30 Hg; 78% RH undetermined skies, w/another dense fog limiting visibility to about 500' today; light air from the ENE; and a light frost. Some snow still exists where it was deeepest or most shaded.
2/4/2012 6:30 AM 0.21 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 32 degrees; 30.15 Hg; 76% RH; overcast skies, w/a light fog reducing visibility to under 3 miles; light air, gusting to a light breeze, from the ENE; and no frost. As far as I know all precipitation fell as rain. However, there are still a few snowbank remnants.
2/5/2012 6:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 23 degrees; 30.15 Hg; 66% RH; apparently clear skies; calm air; and a moderate frost. Some snow still persists where it was the deepest in the most shaded areas.
2/6/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 28 degrees; 30.15 Hg; 77% RH; overcast skies, w/a light to moderate fog reducing visibility to around 2 miles; a gentle breeze, gusting to a moderate breeze; and a decent frost just forming. A few clumps of snow still persist where piled up from clearing streets and driveways, etc.
2/7/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 27 degrees; 30.12 Hg; 72% RH; overcast skies, w/a light fog reducing visibility to under 3 miles; light air from the NE; and no frost, but a little condensation on the gauge. I still have some snow in shaded areas of my yard where I cleared my drive.
2/8/2012 5:00 AM T T M T M Quite cold, 22 degrees; 30.30 Hg; 48% RH; cloudy skies, w/a break on the Western horizon; light air from the North; and no dew or frost. We had some very light snow flurries. and some small areas of shaded, once deep, snow still persist.
2/9/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Quite cold, 15 degrees; 30.18 Hg; 62% RH; clear skies, w/a light fog reducing visibility to under three miles; light air from the WSW; and a light frost w/some hoar frost forming.
2/10/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Freezing cold, 29 degrees; 29.88 Hg; 59% RH; overcast skies; w/a gusty light breeze from the South ; and no dew or frost.
2/11/2012 6:15 AM 0.01 0.1 M T M Very cold, 6 degrees; 30.27 Hg; 44% RH: apparently clear skies, w/no frost; a light breeze, gusting to a gentle breeze, varying from the West to the NW. Yesterday's snowfall was driven by strong winds, which continued after the snow ended, and the board was essentially blown clean. There is a blotchy snow cover w/some old snow piles still around from the previous storm, weeks ago.
2/12/2012 6:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Very cold, 10 degrees; 30.27 Hg; 44% RH; clear skies; a light breeze from the West; and no frost. A little of the recent snow is still around along with some piles from the earlier storm.
2/13/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Very cold, 8 degrees; 30.06 Hg; 45% RH; overcast skies; calm to light air from the SSE; and a light frost. Some snow piles, which are more properly termed ice now, still remain from the January storm but all of the recent light snowfall has evaporated.
2/14/2012 5:00 AM 0.08 0.5 0.07 0.5 0.07 Freezing cold, 27 degrees; 29.71 Hg; 66% RH; overcast skies, w/visibility limited to under 3 miles by a light fog; calm to light air from the SSW; w/no frost. Some of the first snow melted, which accounts for the difference between the gauge and board readings.
2/15/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 29 degrees; 24.30Hg; 71% RH; partly cloudy skies, w/a few streaks of high thin clouds overhead; light air, gusting to a light breeze, from the SSE; and a light frost just starting to form. A very little of the recent snow remains in shaded areas along with some small patches of ice from earlier storms.
2/16/2012 5:00 AM 0.26 T M T M Freezing cold, 30 degrees; 29.30 Hg; 81% RH; clear skies, w/a moderate fog reducing visibility to under 2 miles; calm air, and a light frost forming. I saw a few flakes of snow yesterday afternoon before the rain started; and some ice/snow reamins from the January storm.
2/17/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Quite cold, 20 degrees; 65% RH; clear skies; calm air; and a heavy frost. And, some ice/snow remains from January.
2/18/2012 6:22 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Quite cold, 22 degrees; 65% RH; mostly clear skies, w/clouds along the Eastern and Southern horizons; calm air; and a decent frost. i still have two small mounds of ice/snow remaining from the January storm, but it is essentially all gone.
2/19/2012 6:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Quite cold, 15 degrees; 63% RH; mostly clear skies, w/a few scattered high thin clouds overhead and thicker along the SE horizon; calm air; and a heavy frost. There are still a few very widely scattered, very small remnants of ice/snow from the January storm.
2/20/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Quite cold, 16 degrees; 58% RH; clear skies; calm air; and a heavy frost. And, yes, I do have two (fist and foot sized) clumps of ice/snow left from the January storm.
2/21/2012 5:00 AM 0.12 0.6 0.07 0.5 0.07 Freezing cold, 31 degrees; 74% RH; overcast skies and snowing heavily (just started around 4:30) w/big clumped flakes; light air or a light breeze from the South; and visibility reduced to under one mile by snowfall. Today, the gauge is more accurate for total moisture because this started as rain w/temps near or above freezing so the first snow melted on the board.
2/22/2012 5:00 AM 0.08 T M T M Freezing cold, 31 degrees; 64% RH; overcast skies, w/ a fine drizzle/freezing rain/snow (?) precipitation, reducing visibility to under 3 miles; light air from the SSW; and a light frost. There are scattered flakes of new snow and some remnants of yesterday's snow scattered about. I made a subtraction error this morning in calculating precipitation by weight; and I did not check it by volume.
2/23/2012 5:00 AM 0.03 M M T M Freezing cold, 24 degrees; 77% RH; clear skies directly overhead, w/a dense fog reducing visibility to under 1/4 mile; and a heavy frost w/hoar frost on the gauge; and light air from the ENE. I still have one blob of snow/ice remaining from January in a shaded hollow by my garage; but as far as I know, all precipitation yesterday was rain.
2/24/2012 5:05 AM 0.32 4.0 0.26 4.0 0.26 Freezing cold; 30 degrees; overcast skies and snowing steadily; a gusty gentle breeze varying from the NW to the ENE. The gauge has more than the board because this started as rain during the day.
2/25/2012 7:45 AM 0.04 T M 2.0 0.32 Quite cold, 17 degrees; clear but hazy skies; and a gusty gentle breeze from the West. We had several periods of snow yesterday, much of it driven by strong winds so there is no accumulation on the board to measure. The sun and wind scoured the existing snow leaving an ice crusted diminished snow cover with little change in the moisture value.
2/26/2012 6:50 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.5 0.34 Quite cold, 19 degrees; hazy skies, w/thicker clouds along the horizons; and a gusty gentle breeze, possibly reaching a fresh breeze, from the SSE. Snow depths vary from 3 to 4.5 inches, and the snow is now granular and crusted.
2/27/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 27 degrees; hazy skies, although see a few stars in the Southern quadrant; a gentle breeze gusting to a moderate breeze from the West; and no frost. Although plowed snow banks and some streaks of snow are still around, yesterday's sun and winds did a good number on most of the snow, and most of the ground is bare again.
2/28/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Quite cold, 22 degrees; mostly cloudy skies, I saw one star overhead; light air from the SSE; and a heavy frost. Snow still remains in plowed banks and some shaded areas.
2/29/2012 5:00 AM 0.58 0.0 M T M Extremely cool, 45 degrees; apparently clear skies, I can see stars, w/a light fog reducing visibility to between 2 and 3 miles; and a fresh breeze from the SSE. Despite the warm temps and strong winds, snow still remains where plowed into drifts.
3/1/2012 5:00 AM 0.01 T M 0.0 M Freezing cold, 32 degrees; overcast skies w/a light fog reducing visibility to around 2 miles; a light breeze from the West; and no frost. All the snow is gone, finally. We did have a brief, but heavy, snow shower yesterday late in the afternoon, which lasted a couple of minutes but melted on contact due to the warm temperature at the time.
3/2/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Freezing cold, 29 degrees; clear skies, but a light fog reducing visibility to under 3 miles; a light to gentle breeze from the NE; and a light frost.
3/3/2012 7:00 AM 0.34 1.9 0.34 2.0 0.34 Freezing cold, 27 degrees; overcast skies and a light haze reducing visibility at the horizon; w/a moderate breeze from the West. Surprisingly, the catch in the gauge matches the snow on the board fairly close - by weight, 67 grams in the gauge and 69 grams from the board, so I reported the average in both places. And, of course the new snow is the total.
3/4/2012 6:20 AM T T M 2.0 0.32 Quite cold, 22 degrees; overcast skies w/a light haze obscuring visibility at the horizon; light air, gusting to a light breeze, from the WNW; and no frost. Snow depths vary widely, and are hard to measure accurately on grass, but I took my sample at an approximate depth of 2-1/4", having measured as little as 1-1/2" and as much as 3".
3/5/2012 5:00 AM T T M 1.0 0.20 Very cold, 11 degrees; mostly cloudy skies, w/scattered mid-level clouds; and light air from the NNW. We had a couple of brief snow flurries yesterday, but no accumulation.
3/6/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Freezing cold, 29 degrees; clear but slightly hazy skies; a moderate breeze from the SSE; and no frost. I failed to mention, this morning, that snow still exists in shaded areas and where cleared from streets and driveways.
3/7/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Extremely cool, 48 degrees; overcast skies; a gusty moderate breeze from the SSE; and no dew.
3/8/2012 5:00 AM 0.15 M M M M Cold, 36 degrees; overcast skies, w/a light fog reducing visibility to around 3 miles; and a moderate breeze from the NW.

3/10/2012 6:10 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Freezing cold, 24 degrees; partly cloudy skies, clear overhead w/high clouds and a light haze obscuring visibility along the horizons; a moderate breeze from the SSE; and no dew or frost.
3/11/2012 6:55 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Freezing cold, 30 degrees; mostly clear skies, w/a streak of clouds running just above the horizon from the NE to the South, and a light fog reducing visibility to under 3 miles; and a very light dew. All snow is gone from around here, but I was in Rockford yesterday, and there were still a few mounds of snow in parking lots there.
3/12/2012 5:00 AM 0.15 0.0 M 0.0 M Extremely cool, 50 degrees; overcast skies, w/a light fog reducing visibility to around 3 miles; and a gentle breeze from the South.
3/13/2012 5:00 AM 1.03 0.0 M 0.0 M Cold, 42 degrees; clear skies, w/a light fog reducing visibility to under 3 miles; a light breeze from the West; and, if there was no overnight rain, a heavy dew.
3/14/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Extremely cool, 48 degrees; clear skies; a light, damp breeze from the South; and a moderate dew.
3/15/2012 5:00 AM T M M M M Very cool, 56 degrees; hazy skies, I can see the moon through the overcast; light air from the WSW. We had one brief sprinkle around 3 AM which wet the ground but did not register in the gauge.
3/16/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very cool, 54 degrees; 70% RH, 29.09 Hg; clear, but slightly hazy skies, w/no fog; light air from the West; and a light to modest dew.
3/17/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very cool, 56 degrees; 29.12 Hg; 73% RH; mostly cloudy, overcast with an active thunderstorm moving in from the West but clear skies from overhead to the SE; variable winds, from a gentle breeze gusting to a moderate breeze, shifting from the SSE to the WSW; and no dew.

3/25/2012 6:15 AM T M M M M Very cool, 52 degrees; 29.09 Hg; 80% RH; mostly cloudy w/a break in the mid-level clouds to the SE, and a moderate fog reducing visibility to about 1-1/2 miles; calm air; and a heavy dew. We had a very fine misty drizzle yesterday morning; which could have been more appropriately defined ad droplets hanging in a ground cloud than fog w/rain, as you had to move to feel the drops and nothing accumulated in the gauge.
3/26/2012 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cold, 38 degrees; 29.32 Hg; 51% RH; overcast skies; a moderate breeze from the ENE; and a very light dew.

We had some strong winds in the evening and I heard two loud thunks against my picture window but could find nothing on the ground when I checked after the storm passed, so it is possible that I heard two lone hailstones; although I saw no signs of hail during the storm.

Current conditions: freezing cold, 29 degrees; 30.15 Hg; 55% RH; clear skies; and light air gusting to a light breeze from the SSE.
11/7/2011 11/12/2011 6:15 AM 6 2.68 0.0 M We received a sprinkle around 4 AM on Monday, the 7th, for a reportable Trace. On Tuesday, the 8th, I had 0.61" @ 4:20 AM. Wednesday @ 4:20 Am I had 1.17" and it was raining lightly, which increased to a heavier rain by 4:25. Thursday found 0.90" in the gauge, w/a reportable Trace of snow as it snowed quite heavily for more than an hour coating the grass for a time, possibly as deep as several tenths of an inch of loosely packed large flakes, and melted soon after it quit.
5/20/2012 5/21/2012 5:00 AM 2 0.09 M M Current conditions - Very cool, 53 degrees; 29.21 Hg; 46% RH; overcast skies, w/a break along the horizon running from the East south to the WSW; a gentle breeze, gusting to a moderate breeze, from the NNW; and no dew.

8/17/2012 8/18/2012 6:05 AM 2 0.18 M M Current conditions: cold, 42 degrees; partly cloudy w/scattered wispy cirrus clouds beginning to form and thicken as the air is heated from the sun; calm air; and a heavy dew. Although unable to file a daily report yesterday, I am certain all the precip fell before my regular 5 AM report time, and should be recorded as accumulation for Thursday.
