Had a few rounds of heavier lake effect snow squalls, periods of light flurries, interrupted by periods of sunshine later in the day. Exact amounts were difficult to measure (had to measure 3 more times during the day)because the sun would melt it soon after it fell, but I feel I got some pretty accurate measurements while it was still "fluffy." Snow total was a combination of 4 different measurements, but the was never more than 1.6 inches on the ground at any one time. This evening, after the snow showers stopped, there was only a trace amount left on the ground surface. There was no accumulation on local roads, sidewalks or driveways.

4/14/2018 11:59 PM 0.78 1.2 M 0.5 M Light rain/sleet/snow mix fell until 7:30am, then sleet and a few snow flakes mixed until 1:30pm. Sleet was the main accumulation on the ground and above freezing temperatures until noon melted about half of it. NEW SNOWFALL IS AN ESTIMATE, but total on ground was an actual measurement. Liquid measurement this morning was 0.41 inches (rain and melted sleet/snow/sleet)according to my "tip bucket" rain gauge, but temperatures fell below freezing about 12:30pm (and fell slowly for the rest of the measurement period. All contents in the rain gauge was frozen when retrieved at 11:59pm. Only a trace of precipitation fell from 1:30pm - collection time at 11:59pm. There was no ice accumulation on any tree limbs or automobile surfaces. Trip to the rain gauge today was a treacherous walk for me. All times listed in the comments above are reasonably accurate.

Interesting to note that there was NO evidence of any freezing rain at this station location during the 3-day event - rain, mostly sleet, and a few snow flakes. Liquid equivalent of the 3-day storm was 2.29 inches.

As far as flooding: just a few small puddles in the roadways, and an occasional small puddle in the agricultural fields. The Pine River, just 2 blocks from my location, was muddy, but nowhere near bank level, and just barely above a normal level for this time of the year. No puddles in the yard, but ground was a tad bit spongy. With the 2+ inches of rain a few days ago, things here are greening up and drought conditions seemed to have disappeared.

No flooding at this point, but the ground is pretty saturated. Some small puddles on the local streets, but precipitation has soaked into the ground so far.
8/29/2018 11:59 PM 0.40 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Storm total over the last 4 days was 3.68 inches. No local flooding because the rain was spread out over a longer period of time (but the ground is saturated), electrical outages or damaging winds (highest gust recorded over the 4-day period was 30mph) at the location. We did have some spectacular lightning and thunder with the storms. From what I understand, over 5 inches of precipitation was measured just a 4-5 miles to the north of us. Grass has grown more in the last 5 days that is has the past 2 months.
