That was the most rain in an afternoon or day we had since 9/27/17 . I last week had to replace the post for one of my gauges and the soil was bone dry 26" down . The rains of .25 and .20 over the last 2 weeks did not penetrate more than 1.5 inches into the soil from each event and was gone, dry by the next day . Hope this gets a little deeper into the soil to help keep our lilacs and ash trees from wilting as they have been even with some watering .

7/15/2018 7:30 AM 0.14 M M M M I was watching the storm to our NE. get bigger and gather strength hoping this one would finally get us . It did to some extent but the worst still passed by on the NW. to west side of us and somewhat on the east side of us also . At least the lilacs and ash trees quit wilting , now we continue to need more to help keep the soil from drying out so quickly . Had a very close lightning strike about 5:46 PM. and once heavier rain started we had a 5 min. burst of very heavy rain in about the middle of the heaviest period of the rain .
7/16/2018 7:30 AM 0.62 M M M M We watched it come from the east as a house on the east side of Curtis Rd. disappeared out of sight . Within a minute winds of 49 to 50 mph. from the east hit with a white froth of small hail , pea and smaller , came down heavily with pine branches wailing I could not see more than 25 feet out the window , the high winds lasted 1.5 - 2 min. . The hail after maybe 1.5 min. switched to heavy rain . The rain spats started @ 2:03 and the hail and heavy rain started just before 2:07 PM. It left pieces of leaves stuck to the side of the house from small ash trees 22' away and blew their seed pods over the house . No tree limbs loss and only a little leaf litter . The heaviest precipitation lasted 11 min. with a continued occasional light rain for several hours later . The rain water ponded quit a bit on the soils surface and lasted awhile. The gauge with the insides in measured .50" after 11 min. heavy burst and the gauge without the insides measured .56" .

They were 1" , 3/4" and 1/2" most being 3/4" at the time . It then started coming down more heavily larger at 1st. but then quickly , thankfully got smaller pea to marble/grape .

8/9/2018 7:30 AM 0.62 M M M M The storm happened when I was in town @ the doctors having no idea one was coming or close until I saw it on the waiting room TV . I had read only part of the area forecast discussion for I had little time besides it had just stormed the night before about 12 hrs. We came home to still1 to 4 inches of hail on the ground with 1' to 18" drifts mostly against structures , we still have hail on the ground . We had to shovel it to get in the garage and again to get in the back door . We got back home close to 12:00 PM. or just after and the size of hail at that time was marble to a lot of quarter size to a little larger . Leaf & needle debris covering the ground like a carpet . Some denuded trees and shrubs , decks damaged , wood splinters , window screens ripped off and the vinyl frame for the windows broken , house trim peppered , hummingbird feeders trashed , 2 anemometers trashed , flower pots looked like swiss cheese , debris from trees and other items found 100' away , easy to see damaged roof , will be 3rd time in 3.5 yrs. and so on . It is not as bad as a lot in town but we have our work cut out for us . The rain gauge with insides in .45" and the 1 without the insides .62" of moisture . So in 12 hours we had .98" of moisture both coming at unusual times .

The rest came sometime last night with some possible after midnight because the automated station registered .01" after 12:00 AM.

2/9/2018 2/18/2018 8:00 AM 10 0.01 M M Called my wife the PM. of 2/10/18 and she measured the snow on the snow board which was 2.5 inches of snow . Then for the 2/14/18 she said we had between .5 and .75 of an inch again . I was in Port Angeles WA. and in their forecast discussion they said this next system was the coldest yet of the season for them with 850mb. temps. forecasted to be minus 12c. plus with a very moist maritime atmosphere . It rained fairly hard Thursday night into Friday early AM. then harder Saturday and they were forecasting snow today for Port Angeles . Of coarse it looks like it is going to far north , again , for us . Wife's sister in WY. is going to get it as has been the case most of the winter . The ground still had some snow on it in places when I got home and there was some moisture , darkness , showing still in the ground . That will disappear today but @ least it has not been windy yet here at all that I saw only 4 to 5 mph . The wife said it was a little windy Friday night . I did not have the guts in the rain gauge either , I should have , I have 2 gauges , I forgot before I left for family medical reasons . I am sure there was some evaporation .
9/28/2018 9/29/2018 7:30 AM 2 0.01 M M The Mrs. said no precipitation 9/27/18 or 9/28/18 . The .01" came from drizzle this early AM. , it was doing so @ 12:45 AM. 9/29/18 when I let the dogs out .
