10/29/2013 7:40 AM 0.01 M M M M I wished for rain and got what I got - plus two very small, unidentified, deceased insects. I didn't get as much as I wanted; the insects got more than they bargained for.

11/4/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Light frost. 32F at obs. The clear night skies have given us a great view of Venus.
11/5/2013 7:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 36F at obs. Lovely cumulostratus clouds have an almost pearlized quality. Pressure 30.59. Good day to go to the polls and vote.
11/6/2013 7:05 AM 0.07 M M M M I expected nothing, but we got something. We'll take what we can get.
11/7/2013 7:10 AM T M M M M Cool and damp, a few drops of rain. One surprise, however, was spying a newly-minted spider's web in a small bush near the gauge. Large drops of dew were embedded in the lacy strands. I thought that after the recent cold snap all spiders had perished. I blew gently into the web and saw the spider move; she was no bigger than a pencil eraser. Neat.
11/8/2013 7:15 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Small patches of frost. Skies are clear. Temp is 38F. It was quite breezy yesterday, but the winds are calm this morning.

11/11/2013 7:10 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Clear and cold. 31F. A bit of frost. My God bless our US veterans who also serve their country as CoCoRaHS observers. You are appreciated.
11/12/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 44F and rising. Light breeze. Barometer is dropping. The calm before the storm?
11/13/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Fractal frost - something you don't see in summer. 22F and skies are crystal clear. The winds has stopped...for now.
11/14/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Fire in the Linville Gorge has been burning for two days. The smoke layer can be seen and smelled from our house. Rain would be very much appreciated. Temperature is 22F; there's a wee bit of frost on the car windshield.

11/17/2013 7:20 AM T M M M M Fog; some mixed with smoke from the Table Rock fire? It had burned nearly 3,000 acres by late Friday. Perhaps we can get some heavy rain to put it out. Air quality has not been good since last Wednesday.
11/18/2013 7:00 AM 0.45 M M M M The soaking rain was a God-send. Hoping the Table Rock fire is out. The air does not smell like smoke this morning.

11/20/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 32F. Winds are calm. Sunday's rain was not enough to fully extinguish the Table Rock/Linville Gorge fire. Steep terrain makes fighting this fire difficult; dry weather August-November certainly doesn't help.
11/21/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overcast at observation. Winds are calm.
11/22/2013 7:25 AM 0.12 M M M M Drizzle. 49F. BP 30.36 inches.

Forgot to remove the funnel and inner gauge; I had to poke a hole in the ice to let the rain through to the inner gauge. Both are now inside.
11/27/2013 7:30 AM 2.70 M M M M Not as much rain as I had thought, but frankly it was enough considering, Current temperature is 37F. Winds are calm for now.

12/22/2013 7:30 AM 0.23 M M M M A balmy 64F with a light breeze. You would think we were in Florida or the Bahamas. It's not going to last, but I'll embrace it while I can.
12/23/2013 7:45 AM 2.87 M M M M Raining at observation. It was so warm yesterday that I had to turn on the A/C. This a.m., the outside temp is 59F.

2/3/2014 7:30 AM 0.49 M M M M Hard rain about 6:15am woke me up. Raining at obs. 55F. This winter we have noticed stinkbugs in our home; one here, one there, and dead ones. We thought they were leftovers from the yearly autumnal invasion, and allowed them to play with the cats. But last night, we found younger bugs in different places. I incarcerated 4 of them last night, and two this morning. "A third rate hotel where the guests keep coming and no one seems to leave." Downton Abbey

6/2/2014 8:20 AM 0.01 M M M M A few moments of light sprinkles gave me the total. I am hoping the persistent cloud cover which has been present over the last two days will finally go away; it wears on the nerves.

6/4/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We had a grand total of 2.14" in all of May, and rain was measured on only eight of 31 days. The first four days of June has netted a grand total of .01". This is the reason we are having to water garden and relatively new front lawn.
