10/8/2018 7:00 AM 0.39 0.0 0.00 M M Rain throughout the evening starting around 4 pm. Heavy at times. At time of reading low cloud deck and very cool at 39 degrees F with a very light almost sporadic drizzle of precipitation. Observation: After a few days of rain, expected the ground to be saturated. Dug a small hole and noted the ground below about 0.5 inches deep was still incredibly hard and draw. Very surprising.

Some liquid precipitation may have fallen at onset of storm but it very quickly turned to snow. Initial part of storm was very windy. Concrete and blacktop surfaces are starting to become snow covered.

Snow started about 5 pm and continued sporadically to the time of reading. Hard to separate the liquid value from solid snow, but it was certainly a very small amount. Sky starting to clear above observation point.
4/22/2019 7:00 AM 0.12 M M M M Steady drizzle and misty rain. Low cloud deck. No wind. Mild temperature. Grass getting very green. A bit heavier around 3 pm. Only 0.03 inches fell by 8 pm. Most precipitation came overnight.

5/21/2019 7:00 AM 0.71 4.5 0.51 4.5 0.51 Rain and snow mix. Yes, snow. Ground supersaturated. Trees with full summer foliage are stressed and in many cases bending. A few broken branches are present. Temperatures dropped to 30 degrees F. Appears apple tree blossoms are all lost. Garden plants seem to have survived. Low cloud deck at time of reading. Cannot see mountains that are normally visible. Snow is accumulated on grass and dirt surfaces. Roadways and walkways had accumulated enough heat to melt snow on contact. Misty rain at time of reading.
6/22/2019 7:00 AM 0.76 M M M M Rain heavy at times. Cooler than normal temperatures. Light rain at time of reading. Ground is very saturated. Most of the rain fell in the afternoon. Periods of thunder and lightning. Some small hail pellets (closer to sleet) observed mid-afternoon.
6/23/2019 7:00 AM 0.63 M M M M Extensive rainfall during different times. Accompanied at times with thunder and lightning. One thunder clasp was extremely loud and close; less than saying "1001" before heard over our house and subsequently shaking everything as if we were experiencing an earthquake. Ground is extremely saturated. Grass is spongy. Garden is soaked. Sump pump is running every 10 minutes which is very unusual.

Later storm, around 11 pm, dumped additional moisture. Good news - sprinkler system sensor recorded enough moisture to shut the system off this morning.
8/7/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Beautiful summer day. Low humidity, warm temperatures, no wind, and mostly clear skies for most of the day.
