10/2/2018 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Rained at an unknown time. Been on CoCoRaHS for 3 months now!
10/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.14 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Severe threat yesterday decided not to strike Hilliard and go North and East. Boo, wanted to see some hail as I haven't since 7/10/2017 and 3/18/2012. Saw a picture of quarter size hail from "North Columbus" and an mPing report of dime size hail near New Albany. Also, I have family in Ostrander (Delaware County) who got hit hard by a storm yesterday and was told their swings was knocked down. Nothing like that here though, just got clipped by one storm bringing heavy rain with it.

10/15/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Might be off because I did my check late yesterday and removed inner piece as its getting to be too cold. Drizzle fell at around 5:30 pm and layer at 8 or 9 pm but haprder. Also, some rain this morning likely accumulating most of the 0.02 inches.
10/16/2018 7:00 AM 0.06 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Forgot to submit this report this morning. Checked and emptied rain gauge at 3:00 pm, containing 0.06 inches of rain. I recall some light rain at around 3:45 pm, but not enough to yield another 0.01 of an inch. Therefore, the total for the day of 10/15 is 0.06 inches.
10/26/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No snowfall yet this year for us.
10/27/2018 7:00 AM 0.75 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Restored inner tube and funnel and got this reading. Raining at the time of observation.

11/1/2018 7:00 AM 1.20 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Woo! Second most for OH-FR-81, on halloween!!! There was 0.22 inches at 2:44 pm and drizzle for almost all of the trick or treat time (I passed out candy). OH-FR-81 is now 4 months old! Temperatures seem good so the inner tube was put back in a week ago. The rain broke up at 7:00 am so I could check my rain gauge!
11/2/2018 7:00 AM 1.40 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another big rain day. Rain gauge was completely filled by 3:00 pm, at exactly 1 inch. A line of storms came through at around 9:40 and other than a few gusts of wind, nothing interesting, wouldn't classify as a 'strong' storm. My total poured in to the gauge was 1.36 inches but due to a little spill I am estimating the total tho be 1.40 inches.
11/3/2018 9:28 AM 0.15 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.02 inches of rain at 3:00 pm, likely as aresult of a quick shower at around 9:00 am. A rainband came from the rest through the area during the evening hours, resulting in 0.13 inches around therefore making the observation 0.15 inches.

11/15/2018 7:00 AM 0.50 0.0 0.00 T M I could barely get my CoCoRaHS rain gauge it was so icy! It was so slippery on the deck and it was pouring ice and suspectedly sleet! Temperature at the time of observation was 32.9 degrees fahrenheit. First icicles also observed! Crazy day and to be a fun commute.

1/20/2019 9:30 AM 0.80 4.1 M 5.0 M Wow, was so hard to get to my rain gauge and get it out. Took 20-30 minutes. Managed to do it though, somehow. I woke up at 7 am yesterday to do the measurement. At 8:30 am there was brief snow before transitioning to sleet. By 9:00 am it was completely rain, which continued off and on until 8:30 pm, when freezing rain and sleet was present. By 8:45 pm, it was completely snow, which apparently continued until observation time. There was light snow falling at observation time. Despite all of this, the front was a disappointment snow-wise, seems that central ohio always end up on the lower side for big snow storms. Will do a core measurement tomorrow. As of 10:00 am, Temp: 9.5F, Humidity 84%.
1/21/2019 9:30 AM T T T 4.5 0.45 Light snow after observation yesterday. Also, I noticed the NWS in Wilmington used my snowfall measurement on their January 19-20 event map.

First core measurement made with snow swatter, is accurate and corrected from initial attempt. Temp 3.4F, Humidity 76%.

Most of the yard had 5.8 inches and the other portion about 5.2, making the accumulation about 5.6 inches. We got on the high side for this storm, 3-4 inches were expected. Total snow is 5.8 inches and rounded up to 6.0, there was 0.2 inches remaining from the previous snow. I love it, this surprisingly is Hilliard's biggest snow storm of the year, and I'm not complaining!

3/4/2019 7:00 AM 0.13 3.4 M 3.4 M Hilliard got a lot of snow yesterday! In fact I made a spotter report and was highest in the area. To verify: Las night, I expected the area to have just an inch or two or snow last night.  However, when I walked outside at 9:30 pm to do make my measurement for a spotter report, I was surprised to measure a total of 3 inches.  I made more measurements and realized we indeed had 3 inches, even over that.  I made around 15 measurements around the yard just to make sure, and my lowest measurement was 2.5 inches.  Highest was 4.5 inches.  As a result, after my measurements, I quickly calculated the average to be around 3.4 inches.  Has been reported. Measured this morning and again got 3.4 inches. Very surprised by this one! Temp 10.7 F, Humidity 83%.

Yesterday at 3pm, a strong storm no more than 2-3 miles to the west barely missed us but obvseved it's eastern side trying to form a shelf cloud and got a good picture of it. Brought no rain. At 5:30pm, multiple storms formed in the vicinity trying to form a line, but Hilliard was lucky enough to go right through every gap, bringing light rain after. At 6pm, there was only 0.05 inches. More light rain brought the total to a mere 0.06 inches by 8:30pm. More rain fell overnight and finished just before my 7am observation to bring the total to 0.13 inches.

However my area was pounded by a powerful storm at 11:15 pm, and rain poured for 4-5 minutes, harder than I've seen in at least a year. No hail came out of this and newly applied hail pad has no dents. Area was spared from tornadic storms to the north, east and south. Couldn't see anything as the view is blocked. Thank you to the NWS in Wilmington and prayers to those in Dayton, Celina and those affected by last night's storms.

Big day for the south severe weather wise potentially, wishing the best for them and will be tracking it. Well, have a great halloween everyone and let it rain (not during trick or treat)!

1/9/2019 1/16/2019 7:00 AM 8 0.38 M M Couldn’t get the ice to melt. Took 1.70 inches. Ended up having no time to measure the snow and barely beat the freezing drizzle which began falling minutes after putting my outer cylinder back.
1/23/2019 1/30/2019 7:00 AM 8 0.86 0.3 M WOW its cold out there! Got some good rain and snow throughout the last week. Also got a scale for CoCoRaHS in order for more accuracy, I am in a rush or I accidentally spill. It worked perfectly today, I measured 0.86 inches in the rain gauge, and my calculation based on the scale's readings ended up being the same, at 0.86 inches. I can guarantee near-accurate results from now on from OH-FR-81! Temp -1.5F (flashed to -0.8F as I was typing), Humidity 68%.

Low temperatures combined with high winds, cloudy skies and rainy conditions made a low wind chill low and, incredibly, a cold June day. I had to walk in this and was surprised by these conditions.

7/11/2019 7/15/2019 12:00 PM 5 0.00 0.0 0.00 Based on radar I thought there would be a few hundredths of an inch but there was nothing in the gauge and no evidence of rain. Due to this uncertainty I've made a multi-day report of 0.00 in instead of daily reports of 0.00 in.

10/28/2018 5:00 PM Location: 2.6 miles South of Dublin, Ohio. Wow, did not expect to see hail at this time of year, I've been facinated with seeing hail ever since a hailstorm impacted my area on 3/18/2012 bringing quarter size hail and I remember it bouncing 5 feet off the ground. Haven't seen anything close to that, as this is just the second time I've witnessed hail since (pea size on 7/10/2017, same location as listed above) Rice size hail this time, lasting for just 15 seconds according to a video I took at exactly 5:00 pm. The biggest hailstones were 1/8 inch, and that was just 3 or 4. There were a lot more tiny hailstones, though, average and smallest just 1/16 inch, smaller than rice size. Angle is estimated based on my video, winds got very wild at the time of the hail. The video also shows the micro stones bounce up from ground impact. Each stone estimated to be around 1 inch around part from another. That's all, a nice, pleasant surprise to the day and looking forward to the next thunderstorm, haha. Rice Rice Rice Hard 1 1min no damage Continuous True Same time as rain Same time as smaller hail 30-40
