10/3/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I hope the forecast pans out, calling for several days of recurring rain showers, with a few storms thrown in for good measure, starting this afternoon. It certainly looks like it could rain, and that's more than I could say for several weeks now. It is badly needed here, think even the farmers will be okay with a break from harvesting.
10/4/2017 7:00 AM T M M M M And literally just a trace. I happened to be working outside, and barely felt a few sprinkles of mist. Saw a spatter of rain sprinkles on the sidewalk. That was it. I was so hoping for a bit more....
10/5/2017 7:00 AM 0.98 M M M M Happy, happy, joy, joy! Nearly three times as much rain as all of September brought!
10/6/2017 7:00 AM 0.58 M M M M Another good rain very appreciated here. I didn't even mind too much that my front gutter overflowed although it would have been nice to see that water going into my rain cistern instead of dumping on the ground.

10/11/2017 7:00 AM 0.39 M M M M Finally have enough rain that the ground moisture is recovering a bit. Still pretty dry if you dig more than a few inches down tho.

10/24/2017 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M A bit of drizzle now and again. Warmer than I expected, finished up some outside chores before the cold air blew in around 6:15. Temp was in the 60's until then.

It snowed determinedly for maybe 20 minutes or so, then changed over to a classic wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow for another hour or so, the temp still at a relatively balmy 36 degrees. All of the frozen precip melted as soon as it fell, there was no accumulation of any type locally.

2/19/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M I wasn't complaint about getting only 3 hundredths of an inch of rain at a time. It's better than only 2. Tomorrows catch should be better, it has rained pretty good for a couple of seconds at a time since I read the gauge.
2/20/2018 7:00 AM 0.69 M M M M This catch is nearly twice as much rain as has fallen the entire year-to-date here.
2/21/2018 7:00 AM 2.02 M M M M One tenth inch of ice accumulation. I had serious doubts whether I'd be able to get my gauge out of the brackets without breaking or cracking it and losing the catch. Judicious application of my trusty rubber hammer freed the gauge from its icy perch. Two day storm total 2.67".
2/22/2018 7:00 AM 0.07 M M M M Doesn't appear as though we got any more of the freezing rain that was predicted. This 7 hundredths brings the total to 2.87" of precip since Tuesday. That is more than we've seen total since Thanksgiving.

4/16/2018 7:00 AM T T T T T Woke up to flurries of graupel, fine, dry snow pellets, not hard or wet enough to be sleet, but not fluffy or light or flakey enough to be called snow. Some visible accumulation in field durrows and along edges of porch and sidewalk, but the graupel disappears into the grass like sand.

6/27/2018 7:00 AM 0.18 M M M M Early Monday morning showers gave way to a surprisingly cool and pleasant day, overcast skies holding of the heat.

7/7/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The hear wave finally broke last evening, temperatures in the mid-70's made outside chores a bit less onerous. Sleeping weather was magnificent, woke up to a crisp 62 degree at 6am! Every window in the house was open all night, cooled it to 67 in here. Closed them all when I got up and house will stay cool enough the A/C might not even kick on today. Easy energy conservation.

9/7/2018 7:00 AM T M M M M I observed a few spatters of rain in the early afternoon while I was working in the yard. There is no rain in the gauge this morning, and I do not not see any sign that it has rained overnight. Grass is barely damp from dew even. Bracing for up to six inches by Sunday as hurricane remnants pass through area.
9/8/2018 7:00 AM 1.11 M M M M Rain from remnant hurricane has been fairly spread out since starting mid adternoon Friday. Ground has absorbed it nicely so far, only saw a small amount of standing water in a typically flooded part of the road.
9/9/2018 7:00 AM 0.35 M M M M Brings my total for the hurricane remnant to just 1.45". I almost feel slighted after predictions of up to 6.8" for my location. Farm neighbor's are breathing a sigh of relief, at least the closest ones. This won't keep them out of the field long at all.

9/21/2018 7:00 AM 0.52 M M M M Good hard rain with lightning and thunder that roused me from a sound sleep sometime before sunrise. I was t expecting it or I'd have not left my miter saw sitting out on the front porch. The porch is covered but the driving rain still soaked the saw.

6/11/2018 6/14/2018 2:15 PM 4 3.29 M M Many, many small sticks and branches littering my yard when I returned from my shirt trip. I left Sunday, racing northeast along the leading edge of the approaching storm front, and managed to duck around behind it at Pana in Christian County. That was the first of three separate storm systems I dodged around driving to Chicago that afternoon. High winds from one of the multiple storms that hit the house between Sunday afternoon and Tuesday morning blew a limb from the big walnut tree against electric wires, blasting the branch into smithereens that landed a good 50 to 75 feet away.
8/24/2018 8/30/2018 7:00 AM 7 2.11 M M gone to Lake Superior for a week. Perfect timing, too, heat indices soared to the 105-109 range here at home, while we enjoyed comfortable, borderline chilly temps in the 68-75 range. One day it got up to 84, but we had our feet in cold lake water and didn't notice. Weather much improved here on our return.
