Of course, I got it from the local business office after being told that they'd have to FedEx it to me...5 days later, no modem, so I went to the nice folks at the business office and they - reluctantly - gave me a new one. Regardless, we're back!

That said, I heard drops hitting the roof, last night, but we already had a heavy fog at 11pm, when I noticed it. We have a large chestnut oak, a tree with large leaves, that sometimes drips onto the roof and because of the leaf size, the drops can be large. All of this to say that I checked the local radar when I heard this, saw no returns for our area, and thus I'm reporting No Precipitation.

At least it's blowing the pecans out of our 6.5 trees (1 tree is on the property boundary) so we can pick them up; we were wondering if they were going to fall, this year.

Coming back, just north of Jacksonville, Georgia, on US Highway 441, we had to stop for several minutes because of a white-out from rainfall, so they may have gotten more than we did. There's no CoCoRaHS station in Telfair County, where we experienced the rain white-out.

2/24/2013 8:00 AM 1.88 M M M M We're just 1.42" from erasing our entire deficit for the rain year, and that's figuring to the end of February. We started the month about a foot of rain in deficit. By the end of the month, our average says that we should have 19.14" and we've already gotten 17.72", 11.31" this month alone.
2/25/2013 8:00 AM 0.65 M M M M Still raining. Our water looks like clay from the tap; fortunately we have an excellent water filter. Chris Zelman, meteorologist with WALB-TV said this morning that this is the rainiest February on record. We're only .04" from having a foot of rain, this month, and it's raining as I type this. Let it rain!
2/26/2013 8:00 AM 2.63 M M M M My internet has been out most of today, just got it back. This morning's catch of 2.63" brings us to 14.59" for the month, brings us out of deficit for the rain year with a 1.86" surplus, measured to the end of February, and gives us exactly 21" for the rain year!

3/3/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain, but as I went out to feed our pet pigs at 8:25, I saw tiny, scattered snowflakes falling. I judged them to be about half the size of a BB. It was brief and ended in just a moment, but it was clearly snow and not ice pellets. I saw such a tiny amount that unless we get more precipitation of some type today or tonight, I won't count this in tomorrow's report.
3/4/2013 8:00 AM T 0.0 M M M Originally, I had intended not to include the minute or so of snow because it was so sparse and the flakes were tiny, but I noticed that several other stations near me reported theirs as Trace, so I am editing this report to include that datum.

Due to the high volume of internet traffic I process, and the need for a VOIP line which satellite internet doesn't do well, I'm stuck with Windstream, so my reports may be delayed often. I apologize, and continue to seek a solution.

Neither of them have lived here long, but to reiterate, the last time we saw something like this was after a known tornado in 1979 which took out our huge chinaberry tree and destroyed our garage.

6/6/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precipitation in the gauge at 8am, but we've been getting a light sprinkle since about 8:05am and from the Accuweather Sat/Rad image, it seems to be from outlying clouds from Tropical Storm Andrea. I will try to submit Significant Weather results as I am able, but when we get heavy rain, our DSL usually goes out...when it's not out already prior to the rain.
6/7/2013 8:00 AM 1.60 M M M M As I suspected, when it rained yesterday, my internet connection went out, so I couldn't send reports. However, TS Andrea passed with not much wind at our location. Only a few twigs blew down, but we did have minor flooding - lawns and ditches - now subsided.

8/20/2013 8:00 AM 0.21 M M M M We had light fog and heavy overcast at 8am when I checked the gauge.
8/21/2013 8:00 AM 0.22 M M M M Our earlier heavy fog has lightened somewhat. The visibility here on US Highway 441 is now up to about 1/4 mile.
8/22/2013 8:00 AM 0.72 M M M M We had light fog, which has now lifted, when I went out at 8am to feed up. Now, we have a heavy overcast. The ground is saturated, more so than we've ever seen it since moving here in 1972. The top 2-4" of soil is just slush and where I normally drive the car across the grass, I now have ruts just from moving the car yesterday after going shopping. One pass, 3-4" ruts. On the upside, I'm seeing earthworms like we haven't seen them since the early-1980's droughts either killed them or drove them deeper; they're everywhere.

5/21/2013 7:00 PM The power went out right as the storm began, so the times are approximate. Most of the storm passed around us, but we may have gotten the worst of the blow here. Hail began shortly after the rain and in an occurrence we haven't seen since a known tornado in 1979, hail, rain, and wind hit the house from all 4 directions, intermittently. Limbs and debris didn't follow the straight-line pattern we have always seen (but once), it was (still is) scattered in every direction from the various sources. My elephant ear plants, with leaves about 2-2.5' long, show the most evident damage with slits and holes in them on average about 4-5" apart and from 1.5-2" long, and every leaf in the large 6' diameter bunch shows damage, as do the adjacent canna lilies. I went out on our covered back porch to try to collect hail, but the wind was blowing too hard and our big 600-pound female rescue pig was somewhat freaked out, so calming her was my focus. What I could see that had bounced off the wheelchair ramp and onto the porch was from pea-size up to grape size, some white, some clear. Today, we have limbs down up to 4" diameter including a sapling slash pine about 3" in diameter snapped off about 3' above ground. 1/2" Grape 3/8" 1/4" Pea Size Mixed|Clear Ice|White Ice 15 10min shredded leaves Intermittent True After rain Same time as smaller hail 50-60
