10/9/2016 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M 30-40% chance brought a cool, cloudy day with a little precipitation. The changing leaves suddenly accelerated dramatically in the last 48 hours. Our 40-foot-tall cottonwood finally made up its mind that fall is here and is turning yellow rapidly. Maybe a huge tree changing is like steering a very large ship: it needs to done with due deliberation. The dogwoods, cherries and currants, along with the zone 3 roses, are far along in shutting down.
10/10/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 50% gave us not a drop, only dry lightning. We had a beautiful sunset on a bank of low clouds, though.

10/15/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very dry right now as well as abnormally warm. Humidity will probably be in single digits by Saturday afternoon; a bad situation for potential wildfire with so much fuel on the ground.
10/16/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I think we will likely set a record today for low humidity for the date. It is scarily dry and windy, like the fire weather of June, but with massively more fuel.
10/17/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Humidity got down to 8% yesterday under red flag conditions.

10/19/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Tuesday evening I was watering under a now golden-leaved cottonwood as the rich, deep rays of sunset came through the tree, gilding everything around us. It was such a breathtaking fall moment and made me glad to be alive in that moment.
10/20/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 37 F last night, finally getting down to where it should be. My white pattypan squash set new fruit during our prolonged warm spell!

8/8/2017 7:00 AM 0.56 M M M M 20% chance gave us a tremendous storm with abundant rain at 13:15. It hailed pea size, shredding leaves, along with a lot of cloud to ground lightning. The plants are happy and so are we.

9/28/2017 7:00 AM 1.55 M M M M 1.87 inches in two days - a record in 18 years at this location. We went from under 7 inches to almost 9 inches of precipitation for the calendar year in 24 hours. This rainfall is 21.5% of all the precipitation we have had since January 1. That would make the news in places where they get 40 or more inches a calendar year. The rain just fell and fell all day and some of the night, alternating heavy and light. Heavy fog rolled in by midnight. The air smells incredibly rich and moist. Amazing event.
9/29/2017 7:00 AM 0.80 M M M M We have had 2.67 inches of rain in about 50 hours, or 28% of our total for the calendar year to date. We had 6.80”of rain when this event began. This event is 39% of 6.80”. It’s an absolutely unprecedented rain event. We now are close to 10”. I can’t imagine the vegetation that is going to result from this or how it affects bird migration; the atmosphere has been so unusual this week. It will boost the roofing business, though!
9/30/2017 7:00 AM 0.14 M M M M Four nights in a row now! We have had over three inches of rain. The rain was late last night with some lightning, after a day with heavy, low gray clouds. What a way to end the water year!
