Day 2 of a 3-day rain event: Of the 0.75" total, it was a fairly even split, with a little less than half falling between ob-time and noon on the 8th, and a little more than half falling between 2AM and ob-time this morning (with periods of light rain/drizzle also occurring in between these two primary time frames). This brings the 48-hour total up to 1.35". |

This was truly the "grand finale" of a notable 3-day rain event. It literally rained almost all day on the 9th, especially from ob-time until around 9PM, after which it tapered off to occasional sprinkles/drizzle late in the night before ending completely. Between the non-stop rain, gusty north winds and daytime high temp of only 45 degrees, the 9th was truly a "miserable" early-October day. The final, 72-hour storm total amount was 2.53", which actually fell a bit short of originally-forecasted expectations. Nonetheless, this was enough rain to bring area harvest to a screeching/muddy halt. |

The vast majority of this 0.13" consisted of passing rain showers between 630PM-9PM on the 13th. However, the early AM hours brought the first wintry precip of the season, with drizzle/light rain gradually transitioning to snow pellets shortly before ob-time. At ob-time, grassy surfaces were barely beginning to turn white, and will call it a "weak" 0.1" of snow accumulation with light snow ongoing. |

This is a continuation of the season's first snow event that was just getting underway at ob-time yesterday: Steady light to moderate snow peaked in intensity 9-1130AM before ending, with a storm total of 1.5". This observation's liquid of 0.14 is off the snow board, as the raw gauge catch was under-done at only 0.08". SIDE NOTE: According to NWS Hastings, this was the 4th-earliest autumn snow of at least 1" on record! |

Rain began around 9PM on the 24th before transitioning to wind-blown snow by midnight. The majority of snow fell during the pre-dawn hours, all-but ending by 8-9AM. Although not a true blizzard, northerly winds consistently gusted 40-50 MPH, reducing visibility to one-half mile or less at times. The liquid total of 0.27" is from a core sample, as the "raw catch" in the gauge was only 0.14", and clearly under-done. |

What a remarkable rain event for so late in the year! A cold, light to moderate rain started around 6PM on the 30th and persisted through the night before changing to snow shortly before ob-time. The 24-hour precipitation total (all of which actually fell in under 13 hours) was 1.82", marking the 3rd-highest daily total in the 27-month history of this CoCoRaHS station. NOTE: roughly around 0.80" of this rain technically fell on Nov. 30th, but is officially included in the Dec. 1st total. |

This is a continuation of a long-duration precip event that began on the evening of Nov. 30th (two-day total 2.09"): Most of the 0.27" precip/1.1" snow during this period fell between ob-time and 3PM on the 1st, but occasional light snow/freezing drizzle persisted through the night. If anything, this 1.1" snow amount is probably a little low, but due to compaction before ob-time this was all that could be accurately measured from the snow board. |

This period featured the 3rd and final part of a long-duration precip event that began on the evening of Nov. 30th (3-day total 2.17"...an anomalous amount for this time of year!): Most of the 0.08" precip/0.8" snow during this period fell during the late afternoon/early evening of the 2nd, but with occasional flurries continuing thereafter. This resulted in a 2-day snow total of 1.9", which was roughly half of originally-forecasted expectations from this slow-moving low pressure system. |

Two separate rounds of very fluffy/dry snow: 1) Round 1 mainly 8AM-1PM on the 2nd...peaked in moderate to briefly-heavy intensity 830-1030AM. This totaled around 2"...2) Round 2 focused mainly 10PM-4AM, and was more of a prolonged steady light snow, totaling around 1.3". In between both primary snow rounds, there were often flurries. SIDE NOTES: Given various factors including that this snow fell in two rounds, exhibited modest blowing thanks to winds commonly 15-25+ MPH, and that there was plenty of "old snow" already on the ground, this was the most challenging/lowest-confidence snow measurement of the winter-so-far. Although am reporting my 24-hour totals as 0.10" liquid and 3.3" of snow, suspect that liquid is likely a bit low as it is only from gauge catch (had no good place to do a core sample). Finally, the 7" snow depth sets a new "record" for the 2.5 year history of this station. |

The very beginning stages of a well-advertised, 3-day precipitation event got underway about an hour before ob-time with a period of drizzle and steady light rain. Regarding the 1" snow depth: lingering snow cover across the property is not uniform, with roughly half now bare ground, and the other half covered in snow up to several inches deep. Thus, the 1" reported is a compromise of the extremes. |

Part 3 (and the most significant) of a 3-day precipitation event: A little over half of this 0.80 fell as rain between ob-time and 1PM on the 13th. Following a several-hour afternoon lull (including partial clearing), steady rain moved in again late afternoon and continued into the night. Around 1AM, rain transitioned to wind-whipped snow behind a powerful cold front. Snow peaked in intensity between 430-700AM, during which time legitimate blizzard conditions were often realized with sustained winds around 35 MPH/frequent gusts around 50 MPH. Light snow continued at ob-time. The 2" of snowfall is a best-estimate given the winds. SIDE NOTE: The 3-day precipitation total of 1.05" was respectable, but several counties especially north-northwest of here had over 2". Due to an unusually-dire combination of heavy rain, melting snow, mostly-frozen ground and thick river ice, this event prompted DEVASTATING/HISTORIC FLOODING across much of central/north central/eastern Nebraska (including the Loup/Elkhorn/Platte/Niobrara rivers), which peaked in severity during the following few days. Fortunately, flooding impacts in the immediate Hastings area were quite minimal. |

Lingering light, wind-blown snow persisted for a few hours after ob-time on the 14th before ending completely. In reality, snow accumulation might have been a bit more than a trace, but really no way of telling given the wind and essentially nothing in the gauge. This morning, the 1" of snow depth is perhaps a bit generous, as 90% of the yard has no more than 0.5" of depth, but with some decent 1-2" ft. deep drifts. |

Multi-faceted precipitation event: 1) The majority of this precipitation (0.48") fell from an elevated thunderstorm between 8-9PM on the 10th. Although was not home to personally observe hail falling, this storm dropped a coating of mainly pea-sized hail, some of which was still on the ground several hours later...2) The remaining 0.13" fell mainly between 4-9AM this morning in the form of a cold rain transitioning to wet/slushy snow. The 0.4" of snowfall is a bit of an estimate as some limited melting was already taking place at ob-time. |

All of this 0.81" fell between 1-6 AM, the majority of which fell during two primary linear mesoscale convective systems (MCS), with lighter stratiform rain in between them. Round 1: This MCS raced through mainly 110-130 AM, and produced damaging winds. Although was not home to personally observe, a reliable report from there suggested several minutes of at least 50-60 MPH winds, likely peaking at least 65 MPH (many branches and some entire trees downed in the greater Hastings area). Round 2: Following a few hours of stratiform rain and a brief non-severe storm in the wake of the first MCS, another MCS blew through 5-530 AM. Although not as severe as Round 1, this one featured peak gusts at least 50 MPH. SIDE NOTE: In Hastings, this was arguably the most damaging thunderstorm event to trees in 5 years. |

The majority of this 0.18" fell between 445-600 PM on the 25th as the northern fringes of a large severe thunderstorm passed by before it drifted farther south. No severe weather here, but the town of Holstein (15 miles southwest of here) saw a damaging hail-storm, including a few stones around baseball size. |

Mother Nature waited a few extra hours to celebrate July 4th: The majority of this 0.96" fell between 230-330 AM as a cluster of strong thunderstorms moved in from the west (winds gusted to around 50 MPH, including 52 MPH at nearby HSI airport). Mainly just prior to the heaviest rain were several vivid/nearby cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. Following the main storm, off-and-on lighter showers/weak storms continued through ob-time, with light rain ongoing at ob. SIDE NOTE: Despite being a wet spring/early summer overall, this was the first "meaningful" rain in 2 weeks (only 0.40" total during that time). |

A significant severe storm blew in from the north between 3-4 AM, dropping roughly 0.57" of rain, followed a short time later by another batch of lighter rain (0.22"). Nearby HSI airport clocked a peak northerly gust of 70 MPH, and several downed tree branches were noted in town. On this particular property, no damage noted (just a few flower pots blown over). Fortunately for this location, the worst of the damaging winds (80+ MPH) passed generally 5-15 miles off to the north through east. SIDE NOTE: this event ended the driest sretch of the spring-summer so far (only 0.02" had fallen in the past 16 days). |
