10/1/2017 7:00 AM 0.47 M M M M Rain much of the day yesterday and last night, with a few thunderstorms. Cool and partly cloudy this morning. More rain predicted. Time to get the snow tires on.
10/2/2017 7:00 AM 1.02 0.7 0.18 0.5 M Snow! Sort of. More like a soggy layer of slush. Still coming down lightly. A good day to stay inside with the fire and a book. It rained off and one most of yesterday and last night, with the rain changing to aerial slush sometime in the wee hours. 0.84" water in the gauge.
10/9/2017 7:00 AM 0.13 1.5 0.13 M M Snow starting around 4 am. light, wet, an end to Fall colors?
11/4/2017 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M A little rain. Enough to keep the birds around waiting impatiently for the feeders to come out.
11/5/2017 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M A bit of rain spitting from the fast moving clouds.
11/6/2017 7:00 AM 0.11 M M M M Cold morning.
11/8/2017 7:00 AM 0.05 0.5 0.04 0.5 0.04 Wet snow last night. Not much, but its a start!
11/18/2017 7:00 AM 0.64 2.0 0.18 2.0 0.18 Rain, then snow late. Windy!
11/19/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cold and clear morning
11/21/2017 7:00 AM T T T M M A light dusting this morning, enough to leave small bird tracks on the deck rail.
12/4/2017 7:00 AM 0.06 0.5 0.06 M M Storm chased us home from Park City on Sunday.
12/14/2017 7:00 AM 0.06 0.7 0.06 M M
12/21/2017 7:00 AM T T M M M Just a dusting of snow, barely enough to let the small birds leave footprints on the deck rail.
12/22/2017 7:00 AM T 0.3 T 0.3 M Light snow here, but a lot more up valley and further up hill from us.
12/23/2017 7:00 AM T T M M M Very light snow this morning. Most of the scant snow from yesterday has melted away in sunny areas.
12/25/2017 7:00 AM 0.30 4.1 0.30 4.1 0.30 Snow!! Started late and still coming down. The plow truck has been called (I'm the "official" snow depth recorder and plow caller for the subdivision...). Merry Christmas! I expect we'll have a lot of traffic this morning heading up to Sunlight.
1/11/2018 7:00 AM 0.20 1.5 0.11 M M Rain changing to wet snow late in the afternoon. We had 1.5" by late afternoon when the snow stopped. That settled to 1" by this morning at 7am. The roads are all ice this morning up here, but just wet or even dry down in Glenwood.
1/20/2018 7:00 AM T M M M M Very light sprinkles starting as the sun is painting the underside of the advancing clouds a purple pink. Hopefully its the beginning of the storm and moisture we need!
1/21/2018 7:00 AM 0.22 2.4 0.13 2.4 0.13 Freezing rain turning to snow last night. Cloudy and cold this morning. The birds are very happy at the feeders!
2/5/2018 7:00 AM T T M M M Small pellets of grouple covering the ground like freshly sped lawn fertilizer.
2/6/2018 7:00 AM 0.04 0.2 0.02 M M Wet rain/snow last night from about 7 to 9, melting immediately on hard surfaces. Starting up this morning around 6:30 and really coming down by 8, but that'll be in tomorrows report. The birds are crowding the feeders and we have a tree filled with noisy grossbeaks!
2/7/2018 7:00 AM 0.12 1.7 0.12 M M Wert snow starting around 7:30 yesterday morning and ending by 9:45, just as Weather Underground predicted. Much of it melted off by evening.
2/10/2018 7:00 AM T T M M M Small pellets starting to come down at 7. Wind picking up with heavier snow falling later. Should have more to report with tomorrows entry. Its dumping now!
2/11/2018 7:00 AM 0.18 3.0 0.18 M M Snow started yesterday morning after 7. By 9:30 we had 2" with .10" of water. Wet heavy stuff. The snow slacked off but then came back with another .9" by 3:00pm. At that point the snow slowed and it started to freeze. This morning saw clear Skys and icy roads. One of the coldest mornings of the season!
2/12/2018 7:00 AM T T M M M Light snow at 7 with barely a dusting on the ground. Hopefully more to report on tomorrow. A fair amount of melt yesterday.
2/13/2018 7:00 AM 0.56 6.7 0.47 7.0 M There was .09" of water in the tube, sealed at the top by a lot of snow. I'm adding it to the snow-water total as there was some rain/snow mix before the dumping began. It was off and on yesterday, snowing at least lightly all day. The snow got heavy last night around 7 and kept it up until after we went to bed around 10. Its Winter for a couple more days!!!
2/14/2018 4:30 PM 0.02 M M M M I couldn't check this morning as I was headed to Steamboat Springs at 5:30am. There was just a wee bit of rain overnight and through the day today. Nearly all of that snow from the last couple days is gone, melted away by warm temperatures. Its been mostly above freezing through the night.
2/16/2018 7:00 AM 0.24 3.4 0.24 M M Snow most of the day yesterday, with temperatures right at or just above freezing. Took measurements at 11am yesterday morning before it could melt. Then colder temps came in the afternoon.
2/19/2018 7:00 AM T T T M M Just a light dusting this morning, after a very warm and sunny day yesterday. Windy most of the night. The storm is starting to move in.
2/22/2018 7:00 AM T T M M M
2/23/2018 7:00 AM 0.14 1.4 0.10 M M snow most of the day yesterday, but very light. Warm enough to melt on contact and then ice the streets when it got cold enough for the snow to stick. Fun driving! 500 miles on the car this week and only a fraction of that on dry roads. .04 inches of melt water frozen in the gauge this morning.
2/24/2018 7:00 AM 0.15 2.4 0.15 M M Snow! again... I'll get a total snow measurement after I shovel the drive and clean off a very snowy, happy and exhausted little schnauzer.
2/25/2018 7:00 AM 0.04 0.8 0.04 M M Light snow with off and on sun or stars. Seems to be clearing this morning.
3/5/2018 7:00 AM 0.20 3.0 0.20 M M Beautiful morning with snow starting around 2pm. Slight pause around 4, but picking up again with heavy snow around 5:30.
3/16/2018 7:00 AM 0.15 2.0 0.15 M M Winter is back! At least for a day. off and on rain/snow yesterday with a lot of sun between the squalls. Steady snow started late in the night and is still coming down.
3/17/2018 7:00 AM 0.07 0.6 0.07 M M Continued snowing yesterday after taking the 7am measurement. Stopped around 10 when the sun came out as the sky cleared. Another half inch had fallen so I got another measurement at 10:15am before it all melted away. Nothing new overnight.
3/19/2018 7:00 AM 0.15 1.2 0.15 M M Snow later in the day, then clearing. I took a measurement at 6pm before it could melt away. Then more snow later, with wind. It was strange walking the dog at 9:30 to have stinging snow blowing in my face while stars were out over much of the sky. Still didn't risk driving over Vail Pass this morning when there is a phone in option for the meeting!
3/23/2018 7:00 AM 0.15 M M M M In the gage at 7 this morning as I was leaving for Edwards. Drove Glenwood Canyon and eastern Eagle County in a downpour. Same on the return. A lot more in the gage when I got back at 1:30, and its still raining. Full report in the morning!
3/24/2018 7:00 AM 0.61 M M M M Lots of rain... clearing this morning.

4/8/2018 7:00 AM 1.40 M M M M Rained yesterday morning, tapering off around noon and then really picking up around 3. Rained all night. Most I've ever seen in the gage!
4/9/2018 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Light rain, then snow squalls, then clearing.
4/13/2018 7:00 AM 0.14 0.4 0.02 M M Rain followed by ice/snow last night. Not a lot, but enough to ice the deck and freeze the bird bath that we forgot to plug back in.
4/14/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 0.3 0.02 M M Light snow overnight. I forgot to note in yesterdays report that there was a significant amount of aerial dust, radish brown, that came down with the rain. This morning there was a thin, consistent layer of that dust beneath the snow. I imagine that dust layer will show itself in the higher snowpack as well.
4/18/2018 7:00 AM 0.22 1.6 0.14 M M Yesterday started warm, sunny and wonderful, and then everything went downhill. Lots of wind with rain turning into a driven snow.
4/21/2018 7:00 AM 0.65 2.6 0.21 M M Rained most of the day yesterday, turning to a heavy wet snow late in the afternoon and evening. Woke to a white winter that would melt away into spring by noon.
5/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.20 M M M M Rain started in ernest late afternoon and remains through the night. It looks to continue today. Its trying to snow, but pretty half heartedly. Spring is a see-saw battle between winter and summer and it looks like winter is finally giving up.
5/23/2018 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Short thunderstorm yesterday afternoon with wind and a brief but good rain.
6/5/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nothing. Hot, dry and windy most days. Its getting both monotonous and scary.
6/17/2018 7:00 AM 0.40 M M M M Rain!! And cooler air. The land is still pretty dry though. It always seems to rain for the Glenwood Springs Strawberry Days parade, and the magic worked again. Didn't seem to dampen the crowds or the enthusiasm, although some vendors seemed a bit put out.
7/6/2018 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M We'll take what we can get. It was enough to make the dry air smell wet, if only for a short time. The young birds who fledged over the last couple months looked confused. Whats this wet stuff splashing in the bird bath and hitting my head? I'm not a religious person, but right now I am praying for rain. The Lake Christine fire has filled the valley below us with smoke. I'm reluctant to open the windows even with the heat, even at night.
7/9/2018 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Light rain here late in the day. More rain toward Basalt where they really need it.
7/11/2018 7:00 AM 0.26 M M M M Good storm; rain, wind and little lightning. The fire above Basalt blew up a bit on the north, but it didn't bother the fishing.
7/12/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Not much, but we'll take it.
7/13/2018 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Light rain last night. Good!
7/23/2018 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Short, intense and very welcome downpour! Lightening to the south and the Lake Christine fire to the east making its own weather.
7/29/2018 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Big thunder bumper yesterday. Gus, the river schnauzer, needed bot rescue remedy and his thunder shirt. That was according to our friends looking after Gus while we were in Gunnison for a fishing tournament. While stopping at the fly shop in town we had a big downpour with marble sized hail. Refreshing! There was more rain in Almont, both early afternoon and later in the evening. We had a bit of rain this afternoon (7/29) up in Redstone as we fished our way home. Still, its pretty smoky here in the RF Valley and any more rain would be welcome!
8/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Woke up to a light rain early this morning. Not much, but we'll take anything we can get. There is a promise of more through the day. Its still quite hazy from the wildfire smoke.
8/4/2018 7:00 AM 0.12 M M M M Light rain most of the day yesterday, mostly in the morning. It didn't keep people away from the Hot Springs pool!
8/5/2018 7:00 AM 0.12 M M M M Good rain and thunderstorms last night. One storm rumbling the valleys as I hung out the bird feeders and checked the gage. Gus (the schnauzer) is still in his thunder shirt cowering in his kennel crate despite all of Paula's comfort. He'll get over it after the storms move on.
8/18/2018 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Light rain started early this morning and then got stronger (after 7).
8/19/2018 7:00 AM 0.14 M M M M Yesterday mornings light rain continued through the morning, giving us a nice, if light, soaking. Not enough to clear the air of smoke though. Still a heavy haze this morning with Sopris and the White River Plateau barely visible.
8/23/2018 7:00 AM 0.95 M M M M Quite a downpour last night! It was gray and dismal most of yesterday, which was wonderful. Sunny now, but this is about the best rain we've had all year!
8/25/2018 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M A bit more rain late yesterday. Nice!
8/26/2018 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Another refreshing shower yesterday afternoon. The forecast looks pretty dry though, which is a good thing from a selfish point of view. We are off for a week of camping, hiking and fishing in Dinosaur NM area.
9/2/2018 7:00 AM 0.09 M M M M This precipitation fell at some time during the period from 8/26 to 9/1. We were out on vacation and came back to this disappointingly small amount in the gage. We had reports from friends that places like Carbondale and Basalt got considerably more.
9/6/2018 7:00 AM 0.26 M M M M A good soaking rain yesterday morning with some lingering sprinkles through the early morning today. Feels like Fall, and some aspen stands up on Sunlight Mtn. are starting to change.
9/7/2018 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Late day rain yesterday and a little more during the night. Completely clear skies this morning, and bear poo on the road. We have a bumper crop of acorns.
