Yesterday's high of 52° was reached at 1100 hours. As the temperatures began to fall, all hell broke out. At 1345 north winds picked up considerably until they reached a peak of 60 mph and several large maple branches of ours fell into the neighbor's yard. Snow arrived horizontally at 1405 and fell for the next 30 minutes. I measured it before the sun came back out and melted our surprise 'gift'. At 0700 today, the temperature is 29° which is the low for the past 24 hours. |

***My apologies for the tardy, irregular, and bare-bones report yesterday. It was submitted after a trip to the emergency room for a fall I incurred while slipping down the wooden steps of our deck to retrieve the morning's precipitation catch. No broken bones but a whole lot of lacerations, bruising, and pain.*** Overcast skies, moderate northwest wind, and 29° (24-hour low) greet us this morning. Yesterday's high temperature was 36°.

Clear, calm, and 28° (24-hour low) after startling high of 51°. Remember the Christmases of 1982 and 1983? The former had a bizarre high of 65° while the latter was one of the most brutal in Chicago area weather history with double-digit temperatures below zero and 4" snow on the ground. |

Last 24 hours has featured a mixed bag of precipitation including rain, freezing rain, and sleet but no snow. Constant temperature of 33° has prevented a solid coat of ice from developing but smooth areas such as the driveway have perhaps 1/16th". Because of all the precipitation that fell upon and through the surface of yesterday's snow, I found it impossible to take a melted core measurement. |

Rain STILL falling after over 5" of precipitation which started near noon yesterday. This is the greatest 24-hour amount I've gathered in 10 years of reporting for CoCoRaHS. We repeatedly bailed out the sump when our electricity was out from 1800 to 2300 hours. Where's Noah?; I need a lift. 9.06" rain for September with two days left. |
