6/4/2018 6/07/2018 6:00 PM 4 0.01 M M This was a scant .01. Given how hard it was raining when we departed June 4, I expected the rain gauge reading to be higher. I wonder how much or fast the water evaporates on warm sunny solar gain days? This is an experiment worth trying in July or August during a week when no rain is expected. Energy production from our solar panels on the 5th and 6th definitely show they were bright and sunny days.

4/16/2018 4:30 PM Brief episode of small hail. I was out most of the day so there may have been other episodes. We so rarely get hail that I decided to mention it. Now I know what information to collect the next time it happens. I don't have a pad - but I doubt there would have been any indentations Rice Rice Rice Hard|White Ice 4 2min no damage Continuous False 10-20
