Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
11/24/2018 11/25/2018 7:00 AM 2 0.60 0.0 0.00 Rain Friday night that extended past the reporting hour on Saturday morning. Rain ended mid-morning Saturday but light drizzle continued to noon.
12/9/2018 12/11/2018 7:00 AM 3 2.04 1.5 M Light rain started Saturday afternoon and mixed with sleet by evening. All sleet Sunday until noon. Drizzle and light sleet continued into afternoon. Rain started sometime early Monday and turned to snow around 7 am. That last maybe two hours. 100% of yard remains covered to a depth of about 1.5 inches. Temperature stayed above 32 F the majority of time. Only Monday night into Tuesday morning saw below 32 F temperature.
12/28/2018 12/29/2018 7:00 AM 2 1.00 M M Rain started Thursday evening and picked up overnight. Rain continued through reporting hour Friday. It finally tapered off by Friday late afternoon.
6/18/2019 6/24/2019 7:00 AM 7 1.88 0.0 M Out of town since the afternoon of Monday, June 17th, and returned the afternoon of Sunday, June 23rd. Grass and garden looked healthy and green upon return. I had monitored the radar while gone and saw several storms pass through the area during the week. A blueberry was resting in the funnel apparently dropped there by a bird. It was not wedged in the hole so I do not suspect it would have stopped up water enough to cause it to overflow from the gauge and not be measured.
