10/10/2014 7:00 AM 0.66 M M M M I saw 0.55" in the gauge at 5:15 and most of that rain fell between 1 and 5 PM - there was enough to wet the ground in the morning. Most of the rest of that (.11")fell overnight. There is a mist/light drizzle this morning.
10/11/2014 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Light drizzle yesterday morning and clouds sticking around all day. Fog this morning and heavy dew.
10/12/2014 7:00 AM T M M M M Fog in the morning and high humidities in to the afternoon. A few smaller clouds produced some rain drops, but not enough to wet the ground.
10/13/2014 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M It was a rather nice morning yesterday - partly cloudy and breezy - and perfect for a hike. There were a few times during the afternoon when the sky looked very threatening with rain and it was very windy (and felt cold). One of those times it rained enough to measure. No frost this morning.

11/3/2014 7:00 AM 0.48 M M M M I heard thunder at ~12:40AM. Rain through the night. My husband thinks there might have been more than just rain at one point as he heard some "plinking" on the window.
11/4/2014 7:00 AM 0.08 T M M M Most of rain with a mix of snow yesterday in the morning - so a trace of snow, but no accumulation. Heavy frost this morning. It was quite beautiful on leaves!

11/17/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M We briefly got above freezing yesterday - the wind felt refreshing especially with some sun on your face. Although it didn't last long. We took a walk along the river and it felt brisk. I didn't measure the depth this morning, but I'd estimate it at 2" - mostly compacting and sublimating, not really melting yet.

12/27/2014 7:00 AM 0.02 0.4 M M M This amount is not for the full 24 hrs since we got back in to town yesterday close to noon and I emptied the gauge then.

1/8/2015 7:00 AM T T M M M It snowed lightly in the morning and by the time I got home, there wasn't enough to significantly measure. Our yard is shaded by leafless elms to the south, so we still have snow that hasn't completely melted, eyeball amount of 2-3".

2/21/2015 7:45 AM 0.07 0.8 0.07 1.0 M It had snowed overnight, but was not snowing at 7:15 when I woke up. It was snowing lightly at 7:45. No wind - mesmerizing to watch flakes fall. The bottom of the board was dry, so what rain/snow mix that fell yesterday afternoon had evaporated. Roads and concrete walkways are warmer and a bit slushy this morning.
2/22/2015 7:00 AM 0.35 4.7 0.36 6.0 M In the morning yesterday, the temperature was ~32-34F and the snow falling was melting on the board and warmer concrete surfaces. It really started to snow heavily and the wind picked up after ~ 12:30 PM - blizzard conditions at times with low visibility. Because of the wind, I'm not sure that the gauge is representative, and because some of the snow melted on the board initially (and the wind) I'm not sure that is fully representative either, but it's not bad. I walked around the yard and measurements for total were 5.0, 5.5, 6, 6, and 7, so I used an average of 6".

4/17/2015 7:00 AM 1.86 2.0 M T M Started as snow in the morning and was sticking to the grass, wood surfaces and even concrete between 10 and 11 AM. When I went home at 2:30, there was a good 2" of slush on the top of the car. When I got around to making a measurement, there was 1" of snow on wood and grass surfaces. This morning there was a trace. I'll report 2" of snow, but there was likely more. I couldn't separate rain from snow in the gauge so the total was 0.79 last night at 8 PM plus 1.07" liquid this morning! Snow changed to rain in the evening ~6PM ish. This is very welcome precipitation!!!
4/18/2015 7:00 AM 0.98 0.0 M M M Welcome rain! mostly before 2-3 in the afternoon. I dumped the gauge at 5:30 when I got home and if there was rain after that, it was just a trace.

This morning I woke at 8 and it was not raining at the point. By the time I got out to the gauge at 8:45, it was raining. This morning, there was an additional 0.77" in the gauge to give a total of 1.60". My husband says it was raining heavier around midnight last night - he could hear it blowing up against the house.
5/10/2015 7:00 AM 0.65 0.9 M 0.9 M Rain throughout the day yesterday with a break in the late afternoon. Snow flakes starting to fly at ~7PM, so I read the gauge at 8PM (0.58") before the snow started accumulating. In the morning there was 0.9" of snow on the ground with a liquid equivalent of 0.07" Hard to tell if the gauge captured it adequately and I didn't do a core.

5/19/2015 7:00 AM 0.99 M M M M Scattered rain in the early evening. It likely rained steadily all night and was heavier the couple times I or my husband woke up. It was raining steadily this morning when I checked the gauge. WHen I first looked at the gauge, I was confused because none had spilled over and I couldn't see the water line. Then I realized that the water line was at the top - 0.99! What timing!
5/20/2015 7:00 AM 0.80 M M M M Steady rain throughout the day yesterday and a bit breezy - the kind of day where if you had to spend time outside, you'd want to be in full rainwear and have and umbrella too. 0.66 at 7PM last night and another 0.14 this morning. Foggy this morning and a very fine drizzle - although the sun was breaking through briefly on my way to the office. Drops of water on the vegetation very beautiful this morning.
5/21/2015 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M I suspect it rained closer to morning because when I looked out at 5:30 AM, the cement was wet and I heard the swishing of car tires. The cement was dry when I went to sleep last night.
5/22/2015 7:00 AM 0.07 M M M M Not sure when the rain started overnight. The ground was wet at 5:30 and not visibly raining. It was raining steadily at 7AM.

5/26/2015 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Dew on the ground this morning as well. There's been alot of wet morning grass lately.
5/27/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Storms in the late afternoon. I though it was just going to be a trace with just enough to wet the ground, but it was measurable. Dew on the grass this morning - at least that's what I think it is or is it the grass sweating - often a single drop at the end of a blade. Every once in awhile, I'll see a similar sort of thing on my indoor plants when I water them too much.
5/28/2015 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Dew in the morning too.
5/29/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Dew in the morning. I must be getting used to the rain. What I think is just a trace ends up being measurable.
5/30/2015 7:00 AM 0.22 M M M M I wrote down the number but not the comments and can't remember the details... Yes dew in the morning. My feet get wet walking on the lawn.
5/31/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Wow - no rain - but there was a light dew.
6/1/2015 7:00 AM 0.19 M M M M Two thunderstorms - on between ~2 and 3 PM (~0.07") and the other at ~6PM (0.12) for a total of 0.19 Some of those lightning strikes seemed pretty darn close and loud. Very heavy dew this morning.
6/2/2015 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Short lasting storms in the morning and afternoon. Luckily I was able to get to work and home on my bike dry ;) Moderate dew on the grass - enough to get feet totally wet if one is not paying attention.

6/4/2015 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Rain after 7:30 PM. I covered many small plants, but luckily no hail. That spruce tree is throwing off pollen again. Very humid this morning and more than moderate but not quite a heavy dew.
6/5/2015 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Rain in the evening with a T of hail (some pea size and some mushy)
6/6/2015 7:00 AM 0.07 M M M M Most of the rain fell between 11 and 12 in the morning. The clouds looked dark and low and I thought it would be overcast and wet the rest of the day so my son and I went for a walk along the Poudre River bike trail early. Yes - the Poudre is bank full and out of bank in a few places. Turns out it wasn't wet for us the whole day.
6/7/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M I'm continued to be amazed that sometimes enough to wet the ground is a trace and sometimes it's a hundredth. (Either way, it's also enough to get the laundry wet - so the real question is - is there enough time to dry it again?)
6/8/2015 7:00 AM T M M M M A light T - I'm trying to remember if there was enough to wet the ground, but we have multiple traces throughout the afternoon. It made for a pleasant temperatures to take a walk and do some work in the garden :)
6/9/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Pretty clear most of the day! A little dew on the grass this morning (this is without watering)
