The misty showers allowed for a rare, bright morning rainbow that I was lucky enough to capture as a background with the American flag flying in front. Nice imagery for Veteran's Day tomorrow!

Melted core value was taken from snow accumulation inside rain gauge, and may be on the low side since snow pack is very dense and wet with layer of sleet on top.
2/23/2013 7:00 AM T M M M M Very light sleet still falling when gauge was read yesterday morning

2/26/2013 7:00 AM 0.54 M M M M Looks like about half of the snow cover from last Thursday is already washed away with just this much rain.
2/27/2013 7:00 AM 0.11 M M T T Still snow piles around yard and in ditches and shady areas, but with 360 acres of empty fields around me, I think it must average out to just a trace of snow left.

3/1/2013 7:00 AM 0.04 0.6 0.04 0.6 0.04 yet another 1/2 inch of new snow that will melt in a heartbeat. Still plenty of snow in drifts and stiches but enough bare ground to average old snow to only a trace.

3/25/2013 7:00 AM 2.43 16.5 2.43 16.5 2.43 rain and melted snow measurement edited. after taking subsequent readings following tow days, believe amount taken from rain gauge was far too low, probably due to blow-by. Heavy wet snow, preceded by some sleet, lots of drifting nonetheless. Snow reached a little over 17 inches last evening but has settled and compacted this morning due to the weight and moisture content. Heaviest snow was from 11:30 am to about 5pm. over 6 inches fell from 11:30am - 2:00pm. Snow is drifted to 4' and deeper around the yard and snow fences. Can't get to work this a.m, over an hour shoveling and not even close to the road yet!

It's interesting to see the depth is decreasing while the core water measurement stays nearly the same.
3/29/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 6.0 2.03 Still looking at better than 75% snow cover, even after yesterday's melt. I still have massive drifts to 2 and 3 feet deep in the yard. Snow depth has reduced by more than half, but core water content is only just now showing a decrease.
3/30/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.5 0.89 Melted core value finally below one inch. We still have much more snow cover left than surrounding areas, confirming my suspicion that my location was in a "banded" snowfall zone, receiving at least a couple more inches than other nearby points, including Hillsboro, Pana and Taylorville.
3/31/2013 7:00 AM 0.04 M M T T Still plenty of drifted snow in the yard. Less than 50% coverage, bot more than a foot deep in places.

It was still pretty wet in spots, I sank the Woods mower to the deck and axles in the 'swamp' right at the end, had to get the big truck to pull me loose.

7/6/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Finally starting o warm back up and really feel like July. What a difference a year makes. Lat year I spent a month trying to coax grass seed to germinate and grow, watering three times a day until I worried my well would run dry. This year, the grass seed I sowed a week ago is already sprouted, with just every other day watering!!
