11/24/2011 8:19 AM T M M M M There was a still a few drops of rain when I took the reading yesterday morning. Otherwise, clouds cleared out in the afternoon for a gloriously sunny end. Still clear and near freezing.
11/25/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mostly Clouds but a few peaks of sun yesterday. Pleasant and breezy.
11/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny and warm yesterday. Gusty breeze was only blemish. Perfect weather for hanging Xmas lights!

11/28/2011 8:08 AM 0.51 M M M M On and off light rain all day yesterday.
11/29/2011 7:39 AM 0.12 M M M M Cloudy and cool yesterday. Most rain held off until after dark and was extremely light.

12/1/2011 7:00 AM 0.06 T M M M Nice few hours of snow in the mid afternoon, but never accumulated - melted on contact. Some rain earlier that morning.

12/3/2011 7:00 AM 0.09 T M M M Precip started shortly after yesterday's reading. First as a mix of rain and snow then mostly snow. Unlike at the Buffalo airport (which fell one day short of the latest first measurable snow in history, *frown face*), the snow did NOT stick here at all.
12/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
12/5/2011 8:04 AM 0.09 M M M M Rain started shortly around/after sunset.
12/6/2011 8:15 AM 0.84 M M M M Rained on and off most of yesterday. I'd guess, however, that the majority of rain occurred after sunset and overnight. Still no snow on the season.
12/7/2011 7:30 AM 0.03 M M M M Almost constant drizzle for the last 24 hours.
12/8/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M Nothing to measure, but there was still some drizzle in the morning yesterday. Sun breaking through now. Getting ready for some long overdue Lake Effect tomorrow!
12/9/2011 7:20 AM 0.39 2.0 M 2.0 M Wet, heavy snow. Very little wind so measuring was unusually easy. With the exception of a few flakes, all precip occurred after I went to sleep at 11pm.
12/10/2011 8:45 AM 0.30 3.9 M 3.5 M Snow much of yesterday, but temps were marginal, and although I did not witness it, reports indicated rain mixed in. The snow is very dense and crunchy and there seemed to be ice at the bottom of the cylinder, so I tend to believe it did rain a bit. Measuring snow around 10:30 last night as snow was ending yielded 3.9 inches. This morning it was down to slightly under 3.5.
12/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.5 M
12/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.5 M Beautiful sunny day. Temps slightly above freezing, but not much snow loss.
