11/1/2013 8:00 AM 0.78 M M M M It continued to rain for most of the day yesterday with a somewhat heavy rain at times. Luckily it did slow down for trick or treaters to make their rounds. Today is really heavy clouds with much cooler temperatures and uncomfortable dampness.
11/2/2013 8:00 AM 0.12 M M M M Very chilly morning with light frost and clouds moving in quickly.
11/3/2013 8:00 AM T M M M M We had a very brief shower yesterday afternoon. This mornings frost was quite heavy. The fish pond had steam coming off it for the first time this year.
11/4/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No frost today and much warmer temperatures.
11/5/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very cloudy this morning with milder temperatures.

11/7/2013 8:00 AM 0.15 M M M M Rain stopped around 2:00 p.m. yesterday. Chilly this morning with much lower temperatures than the last two days. Light frost and little if any wind.
11/8/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another cold morning. Everything still standing in garden looked transparent from the frost.
11/9/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Great sunshine and warmth with a lot of wind.

11/17/2013 5:10 PM 1.33 M M M M Sorry to be so late on report but I have been on the road since yesterday morning. This amount covers 2:00 p.m. Saturday till present time Sunday night.
11/18/2013 8:00 AM T M M M M Most of the rain ended after late report last evening. It was definitely a day to remember. I found myself in a bad spot in the morning. My brother and I traveled to Harvard for an auction in a pole barn when all of the tornado alarms went off on everyone's smart phone. No where safe to go we simply waited out the storm hoping for the best. While our story had a happy if wet ending, it doesn't seem as though our neighbors in Central Illinois did as well.
11/19/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Back to winter with heavy frost again.
11/20/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another cold frosty morning with bright sunshine and little if any wind.

11/22/2013 8:00 AM 0.09 M M M M Dark dreary damp morning with a definite chill in air. Took the rain gauge apart for third time this season as only more cold and freezing weather is in forcast.
11/23/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very cold morning with only more cold on the way. Fish pond heater is working well. Trying to talk myself into a chilly walk today.
11/24/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heavy frost again. Ice on fish pond so winter is definitely here.
11/25/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cold and gray this morning with considerable winds.
11/27/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We did not have internet service yesterday so no report could be sent. We only received a trace of snow that just barely covered the ground. Today appears to be mainly cold and freezing with clear blue skies.
11/29/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very cold this morning with heavy frost.
11/30/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heavy frost again with very little wind.
12/1/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nice morning for December 1st. No frost this morning.
12/2/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still but chilly morning.
12/3/2013 8:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Rained lightly all night. Temperatures really mild for this time of year.
12/4/2013 8:00 AM T M M M M Another cloudy morning with very little rain. No fog so far although yesterday was really bad for visibility.
12/5/2013 8:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Yesterday was rainy and drizzly all day with no real measurable amount falling. Today is definitely back to winter, brrrr !
12/6/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very cold morning with overcast sky.
12/7/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heavy frost and frigid temperatures. Can't complain after watching the news of Central area of Illinois.
12/8/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Decorated the garden tree yesterday in record time due to everyone freezing. Overcast morning not quite as cold.
12/9/2013 8:00 AM 0.19 3.0 0.19 3.0 0.19 First snow of season looks really Christmas like. Very powdery not full of much moisture at all.
12/10/2013 8:00 AM T T 2.00 2.5 2.00 Light snow flurries this morning with no real accumulation and bitter cold. Winds are blowing strongly which just adds to misery of morning walk.
12/11/2013 8:00 AM 0.08 1.0 0.08 5.0 2.09 It has been so cold even during daytime that very little melting has taken place. Yesterday the wind out of the west was just brutal. Even the fish pond has not changed since the snow first fell on Sunday.
12/12/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.3 2.30 No new snow has fallen but the wind has really picked up in intensity and snow has started to drift somewhat. Cold is like January and really nasty.
12/13/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.2 2.60 Not as cold this morning with bright sunshine and very little wind. Fish pond is still covered in snow with no sign of melting. Glad we added heater for winter or surface of pond would be solid ice.
12/14/2013 8:00 AM 0.16 3.2 0.16 5.4 2.90 Snow has been falling since last night sometime before 10:00 p.m.. It is a much wetter snow and definitely more than was forcast for this area in the western suburbs. Some areas of yard measured 6" but that could be drifting due to light winds.
12/15/2013 8:00 AM 0.04 T T 5.0 0.57 Mainly snow flurries yesterday afternoon. Snow appears have drifted somewhat later in day. This is a much wetter snow than what fell earlier during the week.
12/16/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 0.42 More cold and gray skies.
12/17/2013 8:00 AM 0.18 1.7 0.18 6.7 0.88 Two episodes of snow and snow flurries in last twenty four hours. First snow hit around 5 last night and lasted off and on until 10:00 p.m.. We had another short duration of snow this morning a little after 8:15 and that lasted until approximately 10:05 a.m.. All the snow bunnies in area should be happy.
12/18/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 6.0 0.57 No new snow and weather is definitely more moderate with little wind. Considering we are now in crunch time for holiday this is a welcome respite.
12/19/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 4.0 0.58 Finally seeing some melting of snow. Not looking forward to the icey rain tomorrow. Looking ahead Christmas itself looks fairly cold.
12/20/2013 8:00 AM 0.19 M M 3.4 0.71 Nothing but rain here so far, but I'm not complaining with all there is to finish for coming holiday.
12/21/2013 8:00 AM 0.16 M M 2.8 0.58 Rain measured in gauge was actually ice. We had a light drizzle all day yesterday. Luckily we did not have the slick conditions of the Northern suburbs. Ours was more of a black ice condition.
12/22/2013 8:00 AM 0.33 0.4 0.33 2.0 0.65 We had more rain and freezing rain than snow. The gauge had virtually no snow in collection. It was predominately ice and snow was measured mainly on ground. It still snowing very lightly with no real accumulation.
12/23/2013 8:00 AM T M M 2.3 0.47 There is a very hard crust of ice over the snow still remaining on the ground. Bitter cold this morning but luckily there doesn't appear to be much wind to add to misery.
12/24/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.3 5.80 It is so cold the numbers for measuring aren't really changing outside. This is truly one of the coldest holiday season I can remember in a long time. Brrrrr!!!
12/25/2013 8:00 AM T M M 2.4 5.50 Had a small amount of snow flurries last night that quickly ended with no real accumulation. Another bitter cold morning with overcast skies. And last but not least,Merry Christmas !!!
12/26/2013 8:00 AM 0.07 1.0 M 3.0 0.62 Snow has continued fall for the last 24 hours off and on with no great amount accumulating. Just enough to make roads slick and dangerous.
12/27/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 0.53 No new snow today and it feels like spring with the sunshine and comparatively warmer temperatures. Sadly, it won't last long.
12/28/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.5 0.70 Spring like warm temperatures only for a day. Still it is a nice reprieve if only for 24 hrs.
12/29/2013 8:00 AM T M M 2.5 0.51 We are now at the point where some of the yard is free of snow and some areas are still 3" deep. Most of the yard is still snow covered. It has been drizzling outside the last hour and quickly turning to ice on wooden surfaces. The temperature has dropped 6 degrees in the last couple of hours.
12/30/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.7 0.43 Hard to give a accurate measurement for snow on ground. The yard has exposed grass and still snow measuring 3". However, the average is the number I gave for report. It is freezing cold, but luckily no wind as of right now. It is very difficult to walk on remaining snow due to the brief period of rain that fell yesterday morning and glazed all surfaces.
12/31/2013 8:00 AM 0.04 0.5 0.04 3.0 0.60 Again very difficult to measure with total accuracy the depth of snow simply because every area in this yard is different. Some areas down to grass and other areas still have original ice and snow with some melting.
1/1/2014 8:00 AM 0.31 4.0 0.31 7.0 1.05 Just what we wanted for the New Year, more snow !! Driving last night was for white knuckle people only.
1/2/2014 8:00 AM 0.33 6.0 0.33 16.0 1.54 If this continues I'm going to need a dogsled and a much bigger gauge. It was really difficult to get out to the back area for a accurate measurement. I'm going to have to wait until spring to find my favorite ruler which is now buried under snow. It is really difficult pushing thru the icey snow at bottom of falling snow.
1/3/2014 8:00 AM T T T 13.0 1.59 No snow today so far and great sunshine. Who would think the sun would feel so warm at 2 degrees below zero ???
1/4/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.5 1.25 We had heavy drifting last night due to strong winds and the fact that the current snow is so light. I measured anywhere from 9.5 inches to 11 inches depending where in the yard I checked the depth. It is definitely warmer in temperature today.
1/5/2014 8:00 AM 0.49 4.5 0.49 14.0 1.95 Measurements again are not totally accurate due to blowing and drifting snow. We dug out the fish pond today in one corner just to see how pond was doing. It was totally encased in ice. Thank goodness we had solar lights around the pond or we would not have found the spot. We dug a path to measuring area because walking is really difficult for both myself and the dog. Ski poles really help.
1/6/2014 8:00 AM 0.09 T 0.09 13.0 1.84 Snow is still drifting due to winds. Cold is beyond belief this morning. We spent the morning trying to get an air hole for fish in pond. Surprising the heater is still chugging along in pond under all the snow and ice.
1/7/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 12.0 1.55 Still very cold with light drifting and light winds. Cold as it is , it still is quite an improvement over yesterday. Not looking forward to predicted rain on top of all this snow.
1/8/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 12.0 1.94 Who would have thought that the current temperature would feel warm. Dreading whatever is coming next.
1/10/2014 8:00 AM T M M 9.5 1.76 Some freezing rain fell last night mixed with snow. No real accumulation resulted from this minor storm. Spent the previous night in Barrington which had basically the same weather as us. I hope there won't be any flooding from this mess.
1/11/2014 8:00 AM 0.88 M M 8.0 1.92 Rained most of yesterday but there still is quite a bit of snow on ground. Fish pond appears to have made it thru the cold week and small fish are swimming like nothing happened.
1/12/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 8.2 2.10 Sunshine today would make you think the temperature was a lot warmer. Reality sets in when you step out the door and encounter the very chilly wind.
1/13/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 6.0 1.93 Snow really melted quite a bit yesterday. There are now areas where grass is showing. This morning is mild temperature wise and actually more like March. Too early for that to last.
1/14/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 1.67 Measuring already fallen snow is becoming like a obstacle course. Between the icey top of snow and the dog's deposits it is pretty difficult. The actual depths are anywhere from 4 inches to 6.5 inches depending what part of the yard your standing near.
1/15/2014 8:00 AM T T T 4.0 1.75 We had snow showers last night just enough to cover sidewalks and windshields on cars. It was so light that a broom was all that was necessary to clean walks.
1/16/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 4.0 1.55 Gray morning that looks like more snow is on the way. The original snow is still with us with depths from 4 inches to 7. Not looking forward to more snow on top of this.
1/17/2014 8:00 AM T T 1.43 4.0 1.43 We had snow showers off and on yesterday with no measurable accumulation. The depth of snow in yard is still pretty much the same, 4" to 6".
1/18/2014 8:00 AM 0.02 1.0 0.02 5.1 1.58 Light snow fell for most of evening last night. It was actually kind of pretty with the flakes standing out so that you could see the patterns.
1/19/2014 8:00 AM 0.10 2.0 0.10 6.2 1.66 Heavy drifting and blowing snow today with sunny skies. It's a nice change from yesterday and the heavy snow and slush on the roads.
1/20/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 6.2 1.86 It is much more like normal snow today. The snow on the ground is wet and almost slushy as opposed to the dry snow that fell on Saturday. Walking in the yard is still difficult due to all the layers of snow and ice.
1/21/2014 8:00 AM 0.06 T 0.06 6.5 1.43 Hard to get accurate measurements due to strong winds last night and of course drifting snow. When you combine that with all the layers of ice out there it becomes really difficult. Not looking forward to Wednesday's forcast with snow showers predicted and of course more wind.
1/22/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 1.81 I'm glad there is going to be a webinar on measuring due to all the drifting and sudden storms we are getting this winter. Not to mention the icing over on days the temperatures climb to the twenties.
1/23/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 6.5 1.40 Snow appears to be between 7" and 6" in most of yard at this time. I'm guessing there will be a bald spot in yard due to pulling up grass with the ice base of compressed snow each day.
1/24/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 1.51 We are starting to see drifting again due to increase in winds. The snow that fell the other day is just so dry it blows constantly which is why my total looks as though we got more snow. Not looking forward to the weekend, it sounds really miserable and freezing.
1/25/2014 8:00 AM 0.09 1.0 0.09 7.5 1.75 Strong winds blowing and bright sunshine. It definitely feels warmer outside. Just in time for the temperature to drop off the charts again. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in Alaska during the winter months and have darkness on top of all this frigid weather.
1/26/2014 8:00 AM 0.16 2.0 0.16 9.0 1.90 Snow fell last night with very little accumulation. At least it is the light fluffy stuff again. I was glad to see the storm originally forcast for tonight has been cancelled.
1/27/2014 8:00 AM T 0.5 T 10.0 1.69 Drifting was really bad yesterday with high winds. Amounts of snow are as close as you can get with all the wind and snow showers we have had this past weekend.
1/28/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.7 1.58 Bitter cold with light frigid winds blowing and actually feels colder than yesterday.
1/29/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.5 1.78 Sunny with little wind. Amazing how warm 6 degrees can feel after a couple days of below zero temperatures.
1/30/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.5 1.91 Cloudy and windy today with temperatures rising. Snow is becoming heavier with moisture. Depth is still in the 9 to 10 range with not much melting going on.
1/31/2014 8:00 AM T T 0.03 9.7 1.53 No real melting from yesterday's warmer temperatures. The sump pump kicked on but that was the only indication that things were improving. We had a brief shower of snow in late afternoon.
2/1/2014 8:00 AM 0.25 3.5 0.25 13.5 1.95 Yard varied in snow totals from 13 to 14 inches and same with new snow from 3 to 4 inches. Snow was somewhat heavy but not like spring snow with the heavy water content. There wasn't any drifting or wind with this storm so measuring was fairly easy.
2/2/2014 8:00 AM T T T 13.0 2.20 No new snow today but bitterly cold with sunny skies. Not much wind either so there is no drifting on roads making driving difficult.
2/3/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 12.5 2.10 There appears to be some melting from yesterday. Not much but a little. Not looking forward to tomorrows forcast of more snow. I guess because it is Feb. the temperature in the sun is almost 30 degrees according to gauge in house.
2/4/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 12.0 1.79 Surprised by plumber this morning so entry is really late. Looks like it will start snowing any minute.
2/5/2014 8:00 AM 0.31 6.0 0.31 20.0 2.46 With the strong wind and blowing snow my numbers are probably not as accurate as the weekend snow that did not have as much wind. The snow is now over my knees when I trudge out to the back of the yard so at 5 foot 9 I'm talking deep snow. In some spots the measurement was almost two feet.
2/6/2014 8:00 AM T T T 18.0 2.14 Had sporadic snow showers in morning yesterday with no additional accumulation. Frigid this morning, what else is new?
2/7/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 18.5 2.10 Today is even colder than yesterday. Hopefully the snow in the forcast for tomorrow misses Illinois.
2/8/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 16.5 2.50 Light snow starting to fall. Temperatures still very cold. No wind as of this morning with heavy cloud coverage.
2/9/2014 8:00 AM 0.09 2.4 0.09 17.0 2.40 The temperature might be freezing cold but the sun really feels warm on exposed skin. Not much more accumulation of new snow thank goodness.
2/10/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 16.5 2.62 Had to move to a different area in yard due to dog and the snow seems denser in that area. While the sun feels really warm on skin it doesn't appear to be melting any snow.
2/11/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 16.0 2.80 Another frigid morning with cold sunshine. Snow is still powdery with no real melting occurring. Once again we are looking at snow for Saturday !!!!
2/12/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 15.0 2.15 Not quite as cold today, but definitely not a heat wave. Snow does appear to finally be either shrinking or melting . I'm not sure which it is .
2/13/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 13.0 2.31 Snow does appear to be melting finally. Definite change in numbers. Only one spot in yard was still at 16 inches although the melting is still in same range.
2/14/2014 8:00 AM T T T 12.5 2.24 Brief snow shower yesterday afternoon with no real accumulation.
2/15/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 12.5 2.31 Sunny with cold temperatures as usual. You can really feel the difference in the sunlight. The temperature registers 30 degrees as opposed to the 11 in shade.
2/16/2014 8:00 AM 0.04 0.7 0.04 12.0 2.43 While it looked like a accumulating storm last night the numbers show it really wasn't. Today is fairly mild temperature wise with bright sunshine. Hopefully spring will come eventually.
2/17/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 11.5 2.45 Snow has been falling since 8:00 a.m. with no signs it is going to end anytime soon. Right now it is a white out condition with no visibility whatsoever. I don't think this winter is ever going to end !!
2/18/2014 8:00 AM 0.28 4.0 0.28 15.0 2.83 Hard to measure snow this morning due to blowing and drifting nature of storm yesterday. Snow was definitely much heavier with water than previous storms. Roads in area are really bad with accumulated snow and ice.
2/19/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.0 2.85 Depth of snow is all over the place now that temperatures are rising for a few days. The deepest areas are ranging from 15 to 13 inches and the shallow areas are anywhere from 8 to 11 inches. Not looking forward to the return of deep freeze on Saturday.
2/20/2014 8:00 AM 0.48 M M 8.0 3.43 Heavy rain fell at times last night. There is also a slushy mix of ice on ground such as sidewalks and side streets. The snow in back appears to be holding all the rain that ran down the slope of the backyard. Surprisingly there is still a variance of measurements from 6 inches to 14 inches in yard.
2/21/2014 8:00 AM 0.44 M M 8.0 3.75 Winds are continuing from last night. Neighbors sun roof for their hot tub is now laying in pieces in yard. Trying to measure rain and light snow is virtually impossible with the incredible wind that is blowing. It looks as though we are living in Siberia. It was really difficult to get myself out in the yard to measure precipitation.
2/22/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 11.0 2.92 I finally found my white board !!! Hadn't seen it since New Years Eve. We have had so much wind and snow that I couldn't find the darn thing. So at least it will give me a break from wandering all over my yard looking for an average. The numbers are running from 3 inches to 12 inches on this day. So hurray for white board !!!!
2/23/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 11.0 2.35 It is so difficult to push thru what is now ice rather than snow for gauge numbers. It probably won't change much until we get another thaw.
2/24/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 10.9 3.30 There is definitely more ice than snow in the yard at this time. It took my standing on gauge again to push it thru the snow/ice. Not looking forward to the week of weather ahead of us.
2/25/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.5 3.30 The contrast between standing in sunlight and being in shaded area is incredible this morning. Looking forward to spring and somewhat moderate temperatures.
2/26/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.0 3.40 I think the snow and ice must be evaporating outside because there aren't any puddles, but the snow continues to shrink in depth. Hopefully they are wrong regarding the storm forcast for this weekend.
2/27/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.0 3.30 Had to use a hammer this morning to break thru the icey crust of snow. This weather is insane and really starting to get to everyone I know.
2/28/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.0 3.60 No change in weather still miserable with no relief in sight.
3/1/2014 8:00 AM 0.04 0.5 0.04 8.0 2.03 What a difference a slight warm up in temperatures can make. The ice/snow is now giving way as you stand on it and the depth is starting to go down. Hopefully the forcasted snow does not hit us with much accumulation.
3/2/2014 8:00 AM 0.30 4.5 0.30 11.5 2.85 At some point I accidentally entered incomplete report, but this is the actual numbers for this date.
3/3/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 11.0 2.65 Very lite snow flurries falling at this time. Still cold and miserable just as it has been since early December.
3/4/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 10.5 2.71 We had a very light dusting of snow last night.
3/5/2014 8:00 AM 0.08 2.0 0.08 12.5 2.88 New snow was hard to measure due to wind accompanying snow. It appeared to be anywhere from 1 inch to 3 inches depending where in yard I checked.
3/6/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 12.0 2.63 Bright sunshine for a change with more moderate temperatures. Going to enjoy it while it lasts. Looks as though next few days will be in same temperature range.
3/7/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 12.0 3.41 Much warmer temperatures today with bright sunshine. Hopefully some of the really high snow hills will start to shrink. Snow is definitely wetter today and much easier to push gauge into.
3/8/2014 8:00 AM T T M 10.5 2.00 This is the first time in months that the melted snow did not go over 2 since probably December. Hope springs eternal that perhaps this winter is coming to an end.
3/9/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 10.0 2.91 The thawing and freezing is really starting to affect measuring with the gauge. Today I could not pull gauge out of snow with snow inside. So I pulled plastic off and the snow and ice remained standing. Hopefully tomorrow there will be less snow to measure.
3/10/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.5 3.51 Due to the slope of my yard I think the water is flowing downward giving the melting higher numbers. The depth is now anywhere from no snow to 10 inches. We should lose quite a bit today due to warm temperatures. I was out in Barrington Hills yesterday and they really have a lot of snow on ground.
3/11/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 8.0 3.30 Snow is disappearing quickly and more and more of dead and brown grass is showing. Everyone has their fingers crossed that forcast is incorrect for tonight and tomorrow.
3/12/2014 8:00 AM 0.30 3.0 0.30 11.0 2.95 For the first time I had snow stick to the top of the gauge instead of falling inside. It was almost like a collar of snow. I was able to push it inside and am guessing the problem was the result of heavy wet blowing snow as opposed to the dry powdery snow we had during the winter.
3/13/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 10.0 2.76 It looks as though some snow melted yesterday even though it was quite cold. Looking forward to more melting today.
3/14/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.5 2.36 Today was the first time I noticed mud at the bottom of snow from gauge. I'm taking that as a good sign that this winter is finally melting and going away !!!
3/15/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 1.83 There finally is more grass than snow. And for the first time since November the white board is visible. Ground is really a mess with more mud and ice than any vegetation or grass.
3/16/2014 8:00 AM T T M 4.0 1.31 Starting last night we've had a great deal of blowing snow and strong winds with little or no accumulation. I wish someone would turn the knob that stops this winter.
3/17/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 4.0 1.33 Sunny but really brisk morning more like February than March. Checked raised garden beds this morning and they are frozen solid. So much for my idea of planting potatoes.
3/18/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 1.41 Heavy frost on ground and roof this morning. Ground is still frozen with no give at all. Snow is shrinking each morning with less and less to measure.
3/19/2014 8:00 AM 0.20 M M M M Eureka !!!! No snow to measure today. I never thought this day would arrive this year. The only snow I now have are hills created by snow plows and snow blowers. Nothing natural is left. And for the first time since last October there are puddles in the yard. The ground is still frozen solid but at least there isn't any snow on top. I'm not putting the ski poles away just yet. There has been more than just a couple of blizzards in March in my lifetime. Maybe the poles will keep them away.
3/20/2014 8:00 AM T 0.5 T M M This morning was really a bummer of weather. The only good thing is that the snow is melting very quickly.
3/21/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bright sunshine with very little wind and heavy frost this morning.
3/22/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cloudy and very chilly this morning. Back to the same dismal temperature range we have been in all month.
3/23/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Really cold this morning with almost winter like conditions. Luckily we did not get the snow that the city of Chicago did. It is so cold that we worked in the yard yesterday cutting down grasses and noticed that there was absolutely nothing green pushing up thru the mulch.
3/24/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cold and sunny again with everything still brown and no green of any kind showing.
3/25/2014 8:00 AM T 0.5 T M M Light snow fell overnight covering the ground and cars. Not likely to last thru day as the sun is really strong even though the temperatures are low.
3/26/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another cold crisp morning with sunny skies and frost on ground. There is a warm up promised in the near future.
3/27/2014 8:00 AM 0.07 M M M M We had a icey rain this morning with no accumulation. It melted immediately due to warmer temperatures.
3/28/2014 8:00 AM 0.28 M M M M This morning had a brief snow shower with no accumulation. The moisture recorded is strictly from the rain we had yesterday. Saw first sign of life in gardens, tulip stems pushing up thru the mud. Also noticed onions, spinach, and garlic greens trying to push thru the mud.
3/29/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another cloudy cold day. This is definitely weather you would expect in March, early March. It is really starting to get old.
3/30/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Light frost again this morning. Uncovered tulips and other spring plants yesterday. Everything looks good so far. Yard is really wet and muddy.
3/31/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sorry so late with weather, but computer problems this morning kept us off line. Sunny and beautiful today with strong winds.
4/1/2014 8:00 AM 0.03 M M M M We had some brief showers overnite, but nothing much in accumulation. Weather is back to reality today with strong cold winds.
4/2/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another pleasant morning with some sun and much calmer winds.
4/3/2014 8:00 AM 0.57 M M M M It is still raining fairly heavily this morning. It started around 5:30 a.m. and is still going strong.
4/4/2014 8:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Evidently there was a light shower sometime this morning. Ground is really saturated at this time, but strong winds that are blowing today should dry it out.
4/5/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool with clear skies and no frost this morning.
4/6/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We had a light frost this morning and once again very chilly temperatures. Planted snow peas yesterday as ground was workable and daytime temperatures are moderate finally.
4/7/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Partly sunny and a bit warmer this morning than last week. Everything growing is still fairly brown with not much green showing.

4/12/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heavy clouds but no rain so far.
4/13/2014 8:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Not much to say regarding storm last night. Definitely not impressive in rain totals or duration of storm.
4/14/2014 8:00 AM 0.76 M M M M Heavy rain last night with falling temperatures. Still misting outside and glad I did not add water to pond, it is almost overflowing due to rain.
4/15/2014 8:00 AM 0.15 1.9 0.15 M M This is definitely a report I hoped I wouldn't be doing again until next December at least. What a downer of a morning. Hopefully this is the last for this spring.
4/16/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Partly cloudy with chilly temperatures and at this time not very spring like at all. Looks as though the flowers survived the snow yesterday.
4/17/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny and somewhat chilly, but thank goodness no snow.
4/18/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Did not get the forecast rain last night. Another bright sunny day today with little or no wind.
4/19/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool morning temperatures once again with no real wind. Spring plants are really growing and just about ready to bloom.
4/20/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Definitely one of the nicest Easter's in a long time. Sunny with really balmy winds and temperatures.

4/23/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny and chilly this morning.
4/24/2014 8:00 AM 0.04 M M M M More light rain overnite. We really need a good downpour to restore moisture to soil which is really starting to be too dry.
4/25/2014 8:00 AM 0.27 M M M M Finally a decent amount of rain for the gardens. The ground looks wet instead of dusty.
4/26/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another brisk and sunny morning. Everything looks much greener since rain on Thursday night.
4/28/2014 8:00 AM 0.49 M M M M Rained quite a bit last night and ground is really getting muddy. Temperatures are more like early spring.
4/29/2014 8:00 AM 0.33 M M M M Light rain is falling. Pond is really full and getting to overflow stage. We really needed the rain so not complaining.
4/30/2014 8:00 AM 0.45 M M M M It is really cloudy with light rain this morning and once again more like early spring than late April. We had brief hail showers yesterday around 11:00 a.m. that lasted less than a couple of minutes. Nothing like I saw on the evening news yesterday. Most of it was about an eighth of an inch in diameter.
5/1/2014 8:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Another beautiful day in the Midwest!!! Could someone turn off the rain and gloomy day machine. We need this stuff in August when everything is dry as dust.
5/2/2014 8:00 AM 0.12 M M M M Light rain fell all day yesterday and today looks like more of the same. Oh joy!!!!
5/3/2014 8:00 AM T M M M M Yesterday stayed cold damp and miserable. Today started bright and sunny and with a full crop of dandelions !

5/7/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very cloudy today with light wind and a chance of rain.
5/8/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sadly, the rain missed my area yesterday other than a real brief shower of no consequence. Hopefully we will get in on some of the showers forcasted for this coming weekend.
5/9/2014 8:00 AM 0.64 M M M M We definitely did get rain which we needed for gardens. It was accompanied by really strong winds. There wasn't any damage.
5/10/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Much cooler last night. No frost thank goodness, I don't know how well certain plants would do in frost conditions.
5/12/2014 8:00 AM 0.17 M M M M Our rain yesterday was a big nothing. Not much rain or lightning. Also very little in the way of heavy winds. Today is heavy cloud coverage and no precipitation so far.
5/13/2014 8:00 AM 1.20 M M M M We had thunderstorms from approx., 5:30p.m. until sometime this morning. The yard and pond are both flooded. It is still overcast and looking as though rain could start again any minute.
5/14/2014 8:00 AM T M M M M We had some light rain yesterday.
5/15/2014 8:00 AM 0.57 M M M M Once again we appear to be going backwards with this weather. Unfortunately we are trying to figure out how to protect tropical plants already surrounding fishpond. The overnight temperatures are getting cold enough to snow and that's not a good thing.
5/16/2014 8:00 AM 0.06 M M M M A little less rain last night but really cold. At least we did not get the snow their getting in Algonquin. According to the person I spoke to this morning it is now covering the grass. Bummer!!
5/17/2014 8:00 AM T M M M M Large snow flakes fell yesterday with some light rain between flakes. We did not have any real accumulation here. Hopefully that is the end of winter.
5/18/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M This is probably the latest I have ever turned in a report but better late than never. The day was really nice and probably as close as you can get to perfect.
5/19/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Today started with a lot of sunshine but is now more partly cloudy than sun. Definitely still much milder temperatures than last week.
5/20/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another day of great weather and hopefully it stays long enough to plant gardens.
5/21/2014 8:00 AM 0.68 M M M M We had a great deal of lightning and occasional downpours last night, but no hail. Nice to get the rain for both pond and garden.

5/23/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It is sort of cool morning for this time of the year. And there is quite a bit of wind today also.
5/24/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No wind !! I've never been so tired of wind as I am this spring. It just dries everything out so badly including plants. It has been the equal of living along the Montana Canadian border as far as I'm concerned.
5/25/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bright sunshine and once again not much wind.
5/26/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Feels like a warm one today. Hopefully we do get the rain in the forcast due to most plants being in ground.

5/30/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warm day with a nice breeze. We still could use some rain as the storms this past week bypassed us.
5/31/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Definitely heating up outside and humidity is coming along with increased temperatures.
6/1/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another hot one with the promise of rain in forcast. Hope they are correct.

6/7/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Looks like another sunny day with somewhat cool temperatures to start with. We really still need some soaking rain. Doesn't look as though we will be getting any in the near future. Most storms appear to be going south of us.
6/8/2014 8:00 AM 0.33 M M M M Pleasantly surprised by rain. We really needed the moisture for garden. Hopefully the storm forcast for Tuesday also appears.

6/10/2014 8:00 AM T M M M M There is just enough rain to dampen sidewalks.
6/11/2014 8:00 AM 1.92 M M M M Wonderful rain fell all day and night yesterday. Still light rain falling occasionally off and on and heavy cloud coverage at this time.
6/12/2014 8:00 AM T M M M M It was a very rainy and cloudy day yesterday. Today has the feeling of a swamp. Good for garden, but not humans.
6/13/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Quite a bit cooler today with chilly winds blowing.
6/14/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warmer temperatures with no sign of rain.

6/19/2014 8:00 AM 1.11 M M M M We definitely got the rain we needed and then some. It still looks as though it could start pouring any minute. Everything looks green except the pond thank goodness for that. I was really concerned due to all the lightning that accompanied the storms. Nitrogen is great for grass, but not the pond.
6/20/2014 8:00 AM 0.29 M M M M We had steady rain last night without wind or hail. We did have some lightning but nothing like the previous night.
6/21/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overcast with temperatures starting to climb.

7/23/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Great weather today with high winds. Quite a few branches down from yesterday's winds. We did not get any of the passing rain which was a disappointment.

7/27/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sadly, still no rain and the cracks in the soil are growing by leaps and bounds. Hard to say which is worse the strong winds lately or the lack of rain.

8/11/2014 8:00 AM 0.86 M M M M We woke up to a lot of moisture this morning. And it was definitely needed.
8/13/2014 8:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Unable to send this yesterday. Not quite sure what the problem was and how we were affected. Bright and sunny today with much warmer temperatures.
