10/10/2013 8:00 AM T M M M M Rain gauge dry but heard raindrops last night. Peace and quiet followed by tropical storm force winds for five minutes and then peace and quiet again. About an hour later my wife heard raindrops
10/11/2013 9:00 AM 0.41 M M M M The skies looked dark and rain it did! Got 0.34" from the main volley. Then I saw a fairly narrow line of thunderstorms headed for us at a pretty fast clip and then it ROARED with rice sized hail for about 20 seconds. I have not heard hail fall that intense in a LONG time. Then it turned to mushy rain. Not quite sleet or hail, maybe more like graupel but rice grain or smaller in size. That brought the total up to 0.41". The cisterns overflowed. Praise the Lord! And another baby spadefoot toad tried to get into the house so we put in our indoor greywater planter.

10/13/2013 8:00 AM T 0.0 M M M Less than 0.01" in gauge. Not sure if this was precip or frost or dew... Low of 31F. I did not check the gauge on the Sabbath 10/12/2013 so there might have been more frost or dew on that day instead of today.
10/14/2013 8:00 AM 0.13 M M M M 0.13" of the most intense rain we've had in some time. Short bursts of intense rain. And had lots of close lightning from a nearby cell that did not rain on us.
10/15/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
10/16/2013 9:30 AM 0.53 1.4 M 1.4 M 0.19" of water in inner gauge and accumulated snow in funnel. Added 0.50" of hot water to gauge to melt snow and placed funnel on inner gauge and poured water from outer gauge into it and almost overflowed (praise the Lord for causing me to stop pouring) with 0.95" in the inner gauge. Poured 0.07 for the rest to get 1.03" for a net of 0.53"
10/17/2013 8:00 AM T T M 0.0 M Trace of precip after yesterday's measurement. It was snowing/raining when i took gauge in to measure. Also had heavy frost this morning.

It was also pretty heavily to one side of the gauge so maybe a lot of the snow did not make it into the gauge due to relatively high wind, or I was measuring an area that was actually a drift??
11/25/2013 8:30 AM 0.13 0.8 M 4.0 0.39 I did not clear a spot for new snow so my new snow data might be suspect. I kind of did an archaeological dig to try and see the new layer of snow. Snow was well behaved in the gauge little or no wind.

I had funnel and graduated cylinder in main cylinder so that data is questionable but got a perfect snow core of light fluffy yet wet snow. Not sure how that is possible. The funnel had about 3 to 4 inches of snow above the top rim. I carefully squashed it down into the funnel like a flyswatter. Reported same snow core for new and total snow. Precip got started in the early afternoon and evening and then clouds broke up around 11PM with about 1 inch of accumulation and then we were treated to this surprise of 8" this morning.

It all melted in the afternoon sun and was surprising to watch how quickly it melted away. Basically no runoff on undisturbed ground. some runoff on the roads because of low permeability. Low of +24F and the insect population dropped precipitously and momma phoebe is having a very hard time find food for her babies.

Hail lasted about ten minutes in varying intensity. But it was the size of the hail and the hardness that shocked me. Almost golf ball sized and they hit the brick patio with such violence! Fortunately the amount of hail was not too great but the cars have small dimples and one of the plastic dome shaped skylights on the roof has a hairline crack! I measured about 0.13" after the first volley of rain and hail. The next volley had no hail, PTL!

7/16/2014 8:00 AM 0.32 M M M M Got two rains. One shortly after sunset that was rather dramatic that dropped about 0.20 inches pretty rapidly. And the rest came overnight sometime. Not seeing it on the radar tho. Large cell came in an a red blob passed over Greater World earthship subdivision but duration was short so not a huge accumulation. Cisterns overflowed probably for the first time this season.
7/17/2014 8:00 AM 0.19 M M M M We saw a scary looking red blob on the radar after sensing something was up and braced for the worst but we only got 0.19" of rain but a nice soaking type with a tiny graupel-ish hailstones, small asymmetrical white peas size or smaller. But Double D ranch and the ranches on the other side of the highway got much heavier rain and all the drainages entering our subdivision were flowing! So Lake Titicaca lives again!! We need to do something about the community greenhouse, however since it was full of water, which has not happened in a number of years. Got a video of the NM Spadefoot Toads croaking in delight! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI7IaOQ_fqE

7/30/2014 8:00 AM 0.42 M M M M Very intense rainfall 17:24 to 17:30 7/29/14 got 0.30". First time we had runoff on our property. Catchment pond got some water and I pumped about 400 gallons of runoff into crop water tank. Then got 0.12" to get 0.42" in gauge sunset overnight. cistern overflowed, of course.
7/31/2014 8:00 AM 0.42 M M M M Cisterns overflowed. It fall quite rapidly around 5:30 pm and completely filled up the catchment pond and drainage ditch with much water going into the check dam with the einkorn growing in it! Cinder block check dam to the north also filled to just overflowing! All the 500 foot long contour trnches did well with only a few overflows but no blowouts! Dropped bloody camera into water but it survived (but with slightly reduced contrast).
8/1/2014 8:00 AM 0.53 M M M M We got rain and a LOT of lightning! around 4:30PM. We did not get very much flooding at all directly from the rain, but all the water from the north is passing through our subdivision and it was multiple inches over a very large area. Then later in the evening, we got another storm?? I was in town from 5PM to 6:45pm. But when I got back home, I saw all the arroyos flowing and Double D ranch looked like a lake! Sever flash flooding! It took out the south part of Earthship Way (20 foot wide canyon cutting across the road from lake Titcaca. It is a dangerous situation IMO. The north side of Earthship Way was still passable as of 8:45AM but it still had water running over it! Will try to cross around 11:30AM, to get gasoline for the generators since we are not getting very much solar gain. The catchment area of the arroyo that pass across Earthship Way on the north side is 150 SQUARE MILES! AND that catchment got multi-inch rain yesterday.

Got some runoff on our property as the catchment pond had a little bit of water in it and the contour trenches as well. Not sure if cistern overflowed again but I suspect it did.

The metal roof of our shed is slightly north facing and the night is cold enough to get enough condensation to run off into the cisterns. I should put a superhydrophobic coating on the roof and gutter to maximize the amount of water going into the cisterns.

3/6/2014 3/18/2014 7:00 PM 13 0.00 0.0 0.00 Gauge was dry but 5 gallon bucket under leaky gutter has at least a gallon of water in it. So it must've rained or we got some heavy frost.
4/8/2014 4/25/2014 12:00 AM 18 T 0.0 0.00 Rain gauge was dry. It was without inner gauge and funnel so evaporation is a significant factor. Residents did note a strong rainfall about a week ago and there are clear signs of heavy raindrop impacts on soil surface.

8/13/2014 9/03/2014 5:00 PM 22 0.52 0.0 0.00 Water mark suggests the total rain in gauge was about 0.61 inches but due to evapration, it came down 0.09 inches.
