We had a big snowstorm last night. The flooding in the marsh has reached our yard. Our shed is flooded, and my CoCoRHaS Snow-board nearly floated away! I got the measurements and moved the snow-board a few feet. If we get any more rain, we'll have to sand-bag our basement. |

Very light snow. The tips of the grass aren't completely covered. Flooding finally receding! On our property, there's still approximately 9" in some places. We're on a small hill, and our next-door neighbors are in a valley, so they have 1'+ of flooding. Thanks for reading my comments! |

Flooding is once again in our yard. Waterloo,IN, has much more flooding than us here in Hamilton. Very (unseasonably) warm this winter. Yesterday I measured the flooding on our neighbor's property (ours was dry). Here are my results:
Ice thickness- .45 to 2.05"
Flooding- < 13-14"
Damage- our shed flooded, but we didn't have anything valuable in it. Our fence was damaged by the freeze and thaw, as well. I hope all this water doesn't freeze on the roads. |

Odd precipitation this morning. I turned on the floodlights on our deck so I could see where I was going, and they illuminated this strange dust-like rain. Does anyone know what this is? It was 37 degrees, if that helps. If anyone knows, I will check the daily comments on January 16,17,18,19. Please post your answer there on those days if you have an answer. Thank you! |

19.4 degrees, wind chill of -3 degrees. We had drifts of snow in our driveway that were 4+ inches. It's feeling like winter.
My gauge stuck in the bracket, so I used hot water to melt it out. I accidentally got some on my hand, and when I grabbed the door handle, my hand froze to it. Ouch. Make sure that when you use water to un-freeze a gauge in negative temperatures, use gloves. |

Reading inaccurate. This was a severe storm. Thunder and very heavy rain woke me up at 3:00 in the morning, and between 3:00 and 3:10 there were around a dozen lightning flashes. Rain came in at an angle, so I think this is why I didn't catch much in my gauge. |

We got some rain this morning, but not as much as some of the people south of us. Our weather radio went off twice this morning, for a watch, and then warning of a thunderstorm. |
