Thickest frost/ice on windshields yet this season. Snow pushed off driveway 12/2 at 5 p.m. only ~2" but had the highest water content of any snow cleared during past 29 years! Extremely hard to push--impossible to shovel, and compressed quickly. Light snow last night but problem mainly was ice layer over everything. |

Surrounding mountains (SW,W,NW not visible from Rafter J, but Munger (S) visible but showing snow/fog. Of gauge total, all but 1.75" (.26") was recorded after previous report (3/1).

This precipitation fell AFTER 7:38 p.m. on 7/15, when I submitted a "Significant Weather Report" after a storm passed through Teton County, dumping .13" of heavy rain, pea-sized hail, and high winds. After a lull of about 10 minutes, a second, lesser storm occurred over about 15 minutes, during which .07" of rain was captured in the tube. Total for the 24 hours after first report on 7/15 (morning) through 7/16 a.m. was therefore .20". |

Intermittent rain all night, moderately heavy at times but generally just light. At this point, it has been raining so much that the ground is highly saturated, with standing pools of water, noticeably higher levels in small creeks in this area. Great for late-fall grass, though--which is usually brown due to lack of moisture and natural reduction of chlorophyll production. About half of the aspens in this area have dropped their yellow leaves--which normally turn brown or russet prior to dropping. Have been seeing some spectacular low-level cumulus clouds and extensive ground fog in both early mornings and later. |
