10/5/2012 8:00 AM 0.51 M M M M A welcomed rain fell during the evening and early hours this morning. When I checked the gauge we have cloudy skies, a light WNW breeze; 42 deg F.
10/6/2012 7:20 AM 0.03 M M M M Temperature got below freezing early this morning (28 deg F at 7:00 a.m. CDT). There's a light frost on the grass and heavier in the low areas. The gauge had a frozen then layer of condensation, more than just frost. The big leaves on our canna flowers got bit with the low temperature. At 7:20 a.m. CDT we have partly sunny skies and calm to light wind from the SW.
10/7/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Leaves are starting to fall from a few trees around the yard and the woods is now displaying some of its beautiful fall color. This Sunday morning we have partly cloudy skies with a light westerly breeze; 34 deg F. at 7:00 a.m. CDT
10/8/2012 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Wow! Clear and cold this morning! At 6:10 a.m. CDT we had 22 deg F. Everything was white, not just frosted. This put a kabash on the remaining veggies in the garden. At 7:30 a.m. we have clear, sunny skies with calm winds; 28 deg F.

10/14/2012 7:20 AM 1.09 M M M M It's been a dry harvest around here. The 1.09 inches dumped from our gauge this morning is almost as much as we've had total in a little over a month. More rain is forecasted for today. The rain in the gauge came mainly through the day (0.84 inches) with the remaining (0.25 inches) through the late night early morning hours. I would say the rain delay is a much needed break for farmers who have been going nonstop. At 7:20 a.m. CDT we have cloud cover with strong SW winds; 62 deg F.

5/24/2013 7:50 AM 0.02 M M M M The 0.02 inches of rain reported was from the drizzle of yesterday morning; winds were very strong all day long with March temps in the low 50's. This morning at 6:30 a.m. we had light frost on the grass. The bright sunny skies have melted it off as I walked to the gauge. Winds are lighter from the NW and 45 deg F at 7:50 a.m. CDT. The high today only to be in the low 60's...BBBRRRRR!!!! for the start of Memorial Day weekend.

5/27/2013 7:45 AM 1.12 M M M M It's Memorial Day...let us remember our fallen heroes and veterans, and those service men and women that still defend and protect our freedom we enjoy today. On this Monday we have cloudy skies with southerly winds and 54 deg F at 7:45 a.m. CDT. The rain report started after lunch yesterday halting our soybean planting and continued off and on until the bulk of it fell through the night.
5/28/2013 7:15 AM 0.80 M M M M Rain fell most of the day yesterday and a little through the night with only a few hours in the afternoon that we were able to go outside. We have ponding in a few fields that we hope will get away so not to kill the young corn plants. At 7:15 a.m. CDT we have overcast skies with a few peaks of sun, breezy sometimes gusty south winds and 65 deg F.
5/29/2013 6:45 AM 0.49 M M M M Thunder and close lightening woke me through the night as a thunderstorm moved through. Some of the ponding in fields that had gone down by yesterday evening are back as the ground is saturated. At 6:45 a.m. CDT we have overcast skies, calm winds and 62 deg F.

5/31/2013 7:30 AM 0.71 M M M M More rain, more saturation of fields and ponding... yesterdays strong southerly winds and 80 deg heat helped to bring some of the field ponds down only to have them replenished late last night.

6/1/2013 8:30 AM 2.18 M M M M Light rain fell off and on starting 5:30 p.m. yesterday only to be followed by two thunderstorms containing white, pounding rain with the most severe one hitting about 11:45 p.m. Much lightening and winds accompanied this storm with the severe part lasting about 12 minutes.

6/2/2013 7:25 AM 0.10 M M M M A storm blew through around 7:30-8:00 p.m. last night leaving behind thankfully only a tenth of an inch of rain on already saturated, ponding fields. My husband tried yesterday morning digging trenches at some fields to help relieve ponding to save our field corn. At 7:25 a.m. this morning we have overcast skies with a light NW breeze and 61 deg F.
6/3/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I hate to say it, but finally a day that I'm not reporting rain. Yesterday's cloudy, cool day did not do much for evaporating the ponds in farm fields. I'm afraid much of the crop will be lost in those areas. On this Monday we have a cool start to the day, bright sun shine though with calm to a very light breeze from the east and 52 deg F at 8:00 a.m. CDT
6/4/2013 8:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M An abundance of sunshine which is what the doctor ordered to help dry up the ponding and remainder of fields so planting/replant can begin that's if we are fortunate to string together enough dry days and it's going to take a few. At 8:45 a.m. winds are light from the ESE and 61 deg F.
6/5/2013 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another nice sunny morning but they say rain is on the way again which we do not need at this time. Ponds are still visible in area fields.

6/13/2013 8:15 AM 2.52 M M M M Is it possible we can share some of this rain with the Southwest Mother Nature? Two thunderstorms came through in the evening first with a "starter kit" at 7:15-7:20 p.m. (0.11 inches) then the main storm at 8:10-10:35 that had hard pounding rain (2.41 inches). The ponds are back in the fields! We have sunny skies this morning and a northerly breeze; 63 deg F. at 8:15 a.m. CDT
6/14/2013 7:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Plenty of sunshine this morning with winds light from the north; 57 deg F at 7:45 a.m. CDT

6/16/2013 7:45 AM 0.02 M M M M The rain dumped from the gauge came from yesterday early afternoon. The rains they had forecasted for us last night and early this morning never materialized which is kind of a blessing for us since we still have replant soybeans, corn to spray and sidedressing this week. Our soils are still pretty wet from the 6/12 storms. At 7:45 a.m. we have partly sunny skies with a west breeze and 72 deg F.

6/22/2013 7:15 AM 0.69 M M M M There was a light shower around 1:50-2:00 p.m. yesterday before a heavy thunderstorm passed through around 3:00 p.m. accompanied with much lightening. It was a pounding, white rain that seemed to last for almost the entire length of the storm (30-40 minutes). Didn't seem like any of the weather forecasters had this one predicted. Area farmers were caught spraying fields, sidedressing corn and replanting beans when this one arrived. With all the rains we've received over the past few weeks one can not walk to the rain gauge without being attacked by mosquitos which are like B-52's around here! This morning we have overcast skies, you can feel the humidity in the air with a very light NW breeze and 74 deg F. at 7:15 a.m. CDT
6/23/2013 7:45 AM T M M M M A few sprinkles here (yesterday afternoon) and a few sprinkles there (through the night) was the extent of our rain for this day's recording.

This morning you can feel the high humidity in the air as I picked up a few small limbs in the yard getting bit by the tiny insects and biting flies that love this type of weather. Winds are southerly with partly cloudy skies; 74 deg F at 7:15 a.m. CDT

7/16/2013 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Excessive heat and humidity forecasted for today making it feel like it's in the triple digits.

7/19/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A little breezier this morning which is a welcome since the heat and humidity have been a little excessive over the past couple of days which have been in the high 90's and triple digit heat index. Still watering the garden and flowers since rain chances keep dropping. Fields crops on the lighter soils could really use a good rain.
7/20/2013 8:30 AM 0.19 M M M M What a welcome of rain. Was awaken this morning around 4:45 by a little thunder and lightening and the beautiful sound of rain hitting the window pane.

Last week sweltering heat now it feels chilly. Just a few sprinkles to report. Today another cool summer day with temps only to reach 70-72 deg F.

One thing we have noticed since the Labor Day weekend all of our barn swallows have left and we haven't seen or heard a robin in a few weeks. Only a few hummingbirds remain also. It's amazing how nature knows when meteorological fall begins.
