Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/1/2013 7:00 AM T M M M M Just a few drops on the windshield. But I was out in the country so they had to fall from the sky -- which makes them officially 'raindrops'.

10/5/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Seems impossible that we still haven't caught any of these rains all around us, but were still in the fields cutting beans today. 5 miles away in Nokomis, it poured rain for several minutes. No measurement of that rain.
10/6/2013 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Taylorville, 12 miles north, had flooding rainfall. Even a mile north had respectable road puddles. At least we can keep cutting, most area farmers are rained out of the field.

10/23/2013 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Pretty darn chilly this morning when I checked the gauge. Wind had some bite to it and the house and shed roofs were quite frosty.

10/25/2013 7:00 AM T M M M M Snow flurries!! Not sure if the flakes even made it to the ground, but they were undeniably swirling around in the air Thursday morning.

10/31/2013 7:00 PM 1.08 M M M M Strange that I didn't submit a catch as big as this one in a more timely manner!

6/10/2014 7:00 AM 0.92 M M M M Raind started late in the evening. Monday was one of the most perfectly gorgeous days in ages, sunny with a very light breeze, temps in the mid-70's most of the day with very comfortable humidity levels. I'll take a couple dozen more just like it!

8/27/2014 7:00 AM 0.13 M M M M It was pretty amazing to track these slow-moving, heavy rainmaking thunderstorms, watch them creep down from the northeast straight towards my location, and then mostly skirt just a few miles north of here. Once the leading edge passed by just to my west, the storm system broadened south. I got a terrific Iight show, a lot of close lightning strikes, gusty winds that broke a huge heavy branch out of my overburdened apple tree, stunning storm photos, and not much rain to speak of.
8/28/2014 7:00 AM T M M M M Once again watched approaching rainstorms dissolve and dissipate just a mile or so to the west, while still passing by us to the north and to the south, leaving us in a little rain free slot in the middle.

The apple tree lost two branches from the weight of the apples, so I'm picking and thinning before I lose any more. They are luscious this year, huge and juicy and beautifully unblemished thanks to the very cold winter that killed off so many bugs!
