It's been very windy and snow is mixed heavily with ice. Snowboard had 0.4 inches of icy snow. Could not brush it off, had to bring it inside to melt. North side of gauge covered in icy snow, max thickness 1.1 inches. Not much snow on the ground. Wasn't sure if it was Trace or 0.5 inches. Gauge catch might be a little bit less than actual because of wind. Not snowing at 7 am, but started snowing again since. Watched visibility drop from 10SM to 1 3/4SM. 261336Z 1 3/4SM -SN OVC010 RMK CLD HEIGHT BEST GUESS AGL ELEVATION 670 |

Somehow forgot to sweep the snowboard clean yesterday morning, but there was only 6 mm, 0.2 inches of snow at the time. The ground was bare prior to the 0.2 inch snowfall, so the snowboard represented total snow on the ground. There was significant drifting last night resulting in large drifts around buildings, maximum depth 26 inches at 8:40 pm, 24 inches 7 am this morning. The open field where the snowboard is located was pretty level with snow although I would imagine there was significant compaction and transport of the snow. There was a very large discrepancy between the catch and the snow core, not sure which is more representative of the actual snowfall. I only took a snow core from the snowboard which was from the total event, not just since the last daily report at 7:18 am yesterday, but considering the minuscule amount of snow carried over, representing only 0.01 inch of liquid, I deduced the new snowfall core value by subtracting 0.01 from the total core. I made 5 significant weather reports which I will list here. I measured in mm and converted to inches.
Total snow on snowboard representing total snow on ground:
9:18 am 35 mm / 1.4 inches,
11:18 am 50 mm / 2.0 inches,
1:21 pm 75 mm / 3.0 inches,
4:18 pm 96 mm / 3.8 inches,

Numbers may not be perfect in this strong wind, but think they are reasonably accurate. Snowboard 25-31 mm, average 28 mm = 1.1 inch. Plowed, uneven, open field total snow 0-7.5 inches, average 3.5 inches. Tops of dirt clods exposed, but probably only represents 1% of the field. Bottom of ruler sometimes came back with mud on it.

Heavy heavy blowing and drifting of snow. Not too confident in numbers, but probably not too far off. I found 0.4 in new snow on snowboard yesterday at 12:10 pm. Today it is completely cleaned by the wind. Maximum drift was 46 inches at 12:20 pm yesterday, that same drift is now 35 inches. Plowed open field (meaning away from all obstructions) 0-6 inches and 3.0 is the most common reading. There was a thin layer of ice on top of almost all of the snow in the field. Update: Visibility was spectacular, 201300Z 15SM. Had 4.0 inches of total snow 12:10 pm, but was less this morning for whatever reason, maybe blew away or compacted. |

New snow negligible amount, nothing in gauge. Total snow very difficult to average. Went further out into open field than I previously had and did find an area of 0-6 inch snow, but 0-3 inch was more much more common. So I am going to stick with same as last reported, 2.0 inches. About 10% of field bare, tops of dirt clods in plowed field. Maximum drift around buildings, 25 inches deep. 251350Z 15SM FEW080 FEW250 RMK APPARENT STEAM PLUME DSNT NW CLD HEIGHTS BEST GUESS AGL |

Strong wind, heavy drifting. Snowboard has nothing on it again. Snow measurements may not be very accurate, but open field varies 0-10 inches. Maximum drift near buildings 24 inches deep which is an old drift that has been there for days.

Sorry for the late report today. Lots of guesswork in snow measurements. New snow totally a guess. Strong wind, blowing snow, heavy drifting. Visibility extremely variable, difficult to put a number on. Total snow in open field varies 0-6 inches, mostly 2-5 inches. Much higher drifts near buildings, maximum 27.5 inches deep, ditches totally full of snow, but that represents such a small percentage of the total area I don't factor that in. If I did, maybe I could call the total 4.0 inches, but I doubt it. Was a thin layer of ice on west side of gauge, 1 mm or less. Update: I am correcting the new snow amount from 0.2 to Trace. I realized later that the snow packed on the side of my car was from blowing snow, not new snow. And there was nothing but clear ice in the gauge, so most of the precipitation was likely rain. |

Gauge catch 0.05 inch, but believe I got an accurate core from the snowboard that is more representative. Total snow open field varies 0-10 inches with slightly more numbers on the higher side. Top of dirt clod exposed in only 2 spots of the area I explored. I measured new snow on snowboard 45 mm, 1.8 inches at 11:29 pm. Very little settling, still 44 mm, 1.7 inches this morning, although it was still snowing very lightly when I measured last night, so here may have been more settling than it would appear.

No snow out in the open fields anymore. Some small snow drifts and piles around buildings, maximum depth 7 inches. Visibility 051410Z 7SM. Update 8:55 AM- Could possibly make a case for a Trace of total snow as there is some ice out in the open field that was snow melt and later refroze. There is also some snow in the field on the north side of some pine trees that was shaded from the sun. But my best assessment is still zero. |

Horrendous winds overnight, strongest gust per KIKK AWOS was 46 MPH (40 KT). Everything is frozen now, 16º F per KIKK AWOS, 10 miles east. Many small spots of ice, frozen puddles on the ground and one tiny ice pond 1/4 mile west that is not normally a pond, but still common with a lot of rain. New snow amount cannot be accurately measured, but pretty confident it would be in the Trace-0.3 range. Total snow depth 0-3 inches in the open field, but probably 40% bare and the only spot more than 1.5 inch was one tiny drift. Visibility 131330Z 10SM |

A thin layer (1 mm) of ice on side of gauge Some slight discrepancies in measurement. Could only find 0.4 inch of snow on snowboard with a thin layer of ice directly on the snowboard, but averaging close to 1.0 inch of total snow on the ground. Was only reporting a trace on the ground previously. So I am bumping the new snow up slightly to 0.5 inch to close the gap a little bit. We were probably close to 0.25 inch on the ground prior to this. I did take a snow core from the board, but could not include the ice stuck to the board. Measured 0.03 inch liquid from the core, but do not think it is representative, so leaving form field NA. There was still some very, very light snow falling a few minutes before 7 am (could barely see it), but ended just before 7. Visibility 181300Z 8SM. Update 8:30 AM 2/19/19: I discovered this morning that there is a gap under the snow and ice of about 0.3 inches making it appear that the total snow depth was more than it really was. So I am correcting my numbers to reflect that which will also reconcile the discrepancies previously noted. |

Discovered today that there is a gap under the snow and ice so that it appears deeper than it really is. That may explain the discrepancies I had yesterday. But today the open field is about 50% bare and the maximum depth is about 0.8 inches. There was definitely some melting. Even though the high temperature did not get above freezing, it got close enough to melt partially. High temperature was 31º F per KIKK AWOS 10 miles east. Visibility 191400Z 8SM |

Many small ice puddles in the open field, but I would estimate they only represent 5% coverage. I did measure two spots by chipping through the ice.

Some of the water that was standing in the fields yesterday has now frozen, but there is less water (in the form of ice now) in the fields than there was before the Saturday rain. The pond that had formed 1/4 mile west now looks like a series of sizable puddles. The ice close to home is just a thin layer of ice with a 1-2 inch gap underneath and that represents maybe 1% of the field. The only snow left at all is a little bit at the bottom of the ditch and a couple of small spots in the yard. 251346Z 15SM FEW090 SCT200 SCT300 RMK CLD HEIGHTS BEST GUESS AGL |

No snow or ice on the ground near the observation point, although there is still ice in low spots 1000 feet or more away. Cloud height is a big mystery today. Nearest two AWOS show nothing but CLR past three hours, but visually appears to be about 5,000 feet with virga a bit lower. LOT RADAR is picking up light echoes in a circular pattern starting over my house and extending south away from the RADAR site, meaning it's picking up moisture above a certain altitude. My house is 38 Statute miles from the RADAR site. With the lowest RADAR beam at 0.5º, it's starting to pick up virga at 3500-4000 feet approximately. That seems to confirm a low cloud layer in spite of AWOS reports. 071315Z 10SM OVC050 RMK VIRGA BINOVC DSNT NW-SE CLD HEIGHT BEST GUESS AGL |

Snow depth on snowboard 65-75 mm, average 70 mm = 2.8 inches. Gauge catch and snowboard measurements should be pretty accurate because there is little or no wind. Visibility was 1/4SM +SN BR at 7:00 am, but at 7:07 AM it had improved to 7/8SM SN BR. Huge snowflakes. |

Actually took observation at 8:40 am, but I emptied gauge at 3:40 pm yesterday and there was only a very small trace of snow left on the ground then. Gauge is still empty now and I think I can say with confidence that the remaining trace of snow melted yesterday late afternoon or evening. The only snow left is in shaded areas and bottom of ditches. None out in open fields. The 1.0 inch of new snow is an estimate only. I was not home to witness it, but the snow to liquid ratio had been 25:1 prior to 7 am yesterday and I had 0.07 inches of liquid in the gauge when I got home at 3:40 pm. At 25:1 that would have been 1.75 inches of snow, but I am making a more conservative estimate. Visibility 181443Z 10SM |

Difficult to measure how much snow we got. In grassy areas I measured 1.0-1.6 inches, average 1.3 inches at 1:15 pm. The snowfall had almost entirely stopped at that time. In the open field, we only had about 50% coverage of 1.0 inch, so average 0.5 inches, also at 1:15 pm. Now, only a small trace of snow remaining. 151159Z 15SM FEW200 |

I swapped gauges at 5:15 pm and gauge was still empty this morning at 8:30 am. I am pretty sure all the rain fell between 2:00 and 5:00 pm. Some corn is laying flat on the ground next to my station. I think the pattern looks like there was a downburst or microburst event. Looks like the edge of a circle in the corn, the rest of the circle would be over my lawn and soybean field which is not tall enough to be affected by wind. No other damage though. Just blew my garbage can and a couple of lawn chairs around. No branches down. Had an unofficial report by a neighbor of more than 2 inches of rain 1.7 miles southwest of my station. 151338Z 15SM FEW100 FEW200 FEW250 RMK CLD HEIGHTS BEST GUESS AGL |

Crazy weather. Got woke up about 1 am to a severe thunderstorm warning. The RADAR showed a severe thunderstorm just west of us moving east, but it split in two, the severe part just missed us to the north about 1 or 2 miles with RADAR indicated quarter size hail. Also heavy rain about 4 miles south but not as strong. We barely got anything. 171252Z 10SM BKN050 OVC080 RMK CLD HEIGHTS BEST GUESS AGL |

I was not home most of the day yesterday, but most, if not all of this rain fell between 8:45 and 9:45 am yesterday based on historical KLOT RADAR. After further review there was probably a small amount of light rain shortly after yesterday's 6:51 am report and 7:45 am. Could find no precipitation on RADAR after 9:45 am. |

It looked very heavy on RADAR approaching, but seemed to weaken as it came in. It never rained very heavy here. At 11:58 am, it was down to light rain with 0.14 inch in the gauge. At 1:11 pm there was only very light rain and I think it ended shortly after that. I was in the basement with no windows in between times, so I don't know when the heaviest part ended or the rain ended completely. 211215Z 8SM FEW080 FEW150 FEW250 RMK CLD HEIGHTS BEST GUESS AGL |

Heavy dew. Gauge swapped out at 6:30 pm, now dry inside, covered in dew outside. Not a cloud in the sky now. I was gone most of the day, left at 10:20 am and the rain became heavy almost immediately traveling west toward Herscher. RADAR archives confirm the heaviest rain started about that time and ended about 11:05 am. I believe most of the rain fell during that time, although RADAR did show one or two very brief heavy showers after that. 041220Z 15SM SKC RMK VIS LOWER E TWD SUN PERHAPS ONLY 8-10 |

Gauge looks the same as it did at 4:00 pm, but looking at RADAR history, looks like we could have had an additional trace overnight 9 pm to 4 am. Spectacular visibility, probably 50SM or more. 261216Z 15SM FEW180 SCT250 RMK NO CLDS NW HALF OF SKY |
