Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/4/2018 7:00 PM 1.04 M M M M Most of this fell in the wee hours of the morning.
10/5/2018 7:00 PM 0.04 M M M M We had very heavy fog this morning that lasted until at least 11:00.
10/6/2018 7:00 PM 0.15 M M M M I don't know how accurate this is since it was in the outer tube and the inner one was loose. There were off and on sprinkles all day and it's much cooler than it was yesterday.
10/7/2018 7:00 PM 0.77 M M M M
10/8/2018 7:00 PM 3.82 M M M M This has got to be a record for my gauge! But neighbors are worried about getting home from events so we called our meeting early and left. Still raining at this time.
10/9/2018 7:00 PM 1.70 M M M M
10/10/2018 7:00 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M 7.52" in the last five days and flooding in both the Walnut and Arkansas Rivers. Locals are excited about the flooding in fields, but the rivers have a long ways to go before they're as high as in 1998 and 2007!
10/12/2018 7:00 PM 0.22 M M M M This came as a fine mist, all day long. Both of our rivers are still way up and many rural roads, along the rivers, are closed.
10/28/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Beautiful fall colors in various stages, from red, to gold to still green.
11/4/2018 7:00 AM T M M M M Ark City got a brief sprinkle last night, barely enough to wet my hair and clothes.
12/1/2018 7:00 AM 0.24 M M M M
1/3/2019 7:00 PM 0.12 M M M M I can't believe this is all we got considering what Oklahoma is getting. Kay and Osage Counties are going to float away.
1/11/2019 7:00 PM 0.84 M M M M As of 7 PM, it had been raining for about 14 hours and is still raining an hour later.
1/12/2019 7:00 PM 0.56 3.0 M 3.0 M I have never had to report rainfall and snow on the same day so really don't know how. In the rain gauge was .56" and on top of our chicken house was 3", which my husband did not melt.
1/15/2019 7:00 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Except in the most sheltered areas, all the snow in our yard is gone.
2/7/2019 7:00 AM T M M M M There's been a steady mist or fine drizzle, sometimes tiny snowflakes since yesterday, freezing on everything.
2/11/2019 7:00 PM 0.14 M M M M There's been a steady, maddening mist ALL DAY LONG! Still misty and getting foggy at 8:30 PM.
2/16/2019 7:00 PM T M M M M Freezing mist
2/17/2019 7:00 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bright and clear all day.
3/12/2019 7:00 PM 1.60 M M M M
3/13/2019 7:00 PM 0.93 M M M M Drove to Winfield this morning on the back roads and water was just pouring out of the fields. I saw one low water crossing completely covered with water flowing swiftly over it.
4/30/2019 7:00 PM 3.04 M M M M Our yard is standing water, bad enough that a broody hen's nest, in some hidden spot, has flooded. She was observed near the hen house, soaked to the skin. We had quite a lightning storm at around 4 AM and it's been raining ever since.
5/3/2019 7:00 PM 0.53 M M M M I really thought we'd gotten more than this, judging by how the ditches in town were flowing.
5/6/2019 7:00 PM 1.97 M M M M Most of this fell last night, along with a hail storm, the likes of which I haven't seen since we lived in Manhattan, in 1998. I did make a hail report, my first. After the hail storm last night, parts east of Ark City were impassable because of the drifts of hail and the steam and fog coming off of the hail.
5/7/2019 7:00 PM 0.27 M M M M
5/8/2019 7:00 AM 2.40 M M M M Ark City is flooding, and not because of what we got. Areas north and west of us got 10"+ and it's all flowing south. And to top it off, I-135 was diverted through our little town, causing all sorts of snarls.
5/19/2019 7:00 PM 0.41 M M M M
5/20/2019 10:45 PM 4.00 M M M M (Taken at 10:45 PM) Here we go again with the likelihood of more flooding, a week or so after the two rivers finally laid down in their own beds. It was raining when I got up, and it's still raining at bedtime. The prediction is that there's up to three more inches due to fall overnight.
5/23/2019 7:00 PM 0.17 M M M M Nearly all of this came in a short downburst.
5/24/2019 7:00 PM 0.99 M M M M We took bets on how much was in the gauge and Daughter got the closest, as she guessed an inch. Honestly, how much more can this state take?! (I took the reading at 7 PM so put that as the end, but it's not.)
5/25/2019 7:00 PM 0.34 M M M M Most fell after 7 P.M. last night.
5/26/2019 7:00 PM 1.96 M M M M All of this fell in the morning7 hours.
5/27/2019 7:00 PM 0.48 M M M M
6/6/2019 7:00 PM 1.91 M M M M Strother Field, two miles north of us, got nearly 5" of rain in an hour, flooding the businesses and factories there. And since we've just now begun to dry out from almost 20" of rain, our fields are flooded again.
8/2/2019 3:00 PM 3.30 M M M M
8/3/2019 7:00 PM 2.37 M M M M Playing catch-up on back rains. This one, and the one the day before, flooded our county's Humane Society.
8/22/2019 7:00 PM 0.97 M M M M Catching up with unrecorded rains.
8/25/2019 7:00 PM 1.11 M M M M
8/30/2019 7:00 PM 2.25 M M M M August wound up being one of the wettest on record.
9/13/2019 7:00 AM 0.49 M M M M Yesterday, while it was raining, I drove through torrential rain on the bypass, light sprinkles in town and nearly dry at home.
9/22/2019 7:00 PM 1.37 M M M M
9/25/2019 7:00 PM 0.25 M M M M

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
10/24/2018 10/26/2018 7:00 PM 3 0.55 M M This is what was in the gauge after a weekend trip to western Kansas.
12/22/2018 12/28/2018 7:00 PM 7 1.91 M M I'm pretty sure this all fell as rain, the total opposite of the near blizzard we experienced at the other end of the state, with the same storm system.
8/6/2019 8/18/2019 7:00 PM 13 1.34 M M This is what was in our gauge when we returned from our vacation to the deep South.
