| 2026-05-19 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain again. No persistent contrails. Some VHF sporadic-E propagation from 600-miles away. Pop-ups are few and far between. Little standing water left in ditches. |
| 2026-05-18 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain fell. Gardens drying out again and have to be watered. Some strong thunderstorms were east-northeast of here last evening; they did not move this direction (not surprising as that is not 'normal' wind flow). Over 1000-km sporadic E VHF prop again common now. |
| 2026-05-17 | 6:30 AM | 0.08 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Short shower popped up overhead and got everything nicely wet. The storm appeared to track northwest and rained itself out. 1600-km sporadic E VHF propagation again from the west as this is typed. |
| 2026-05-16 | 6:15 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain under high pressure. 1300-km VHF signals arriving here via Sporadic E propagation from north-central Mexico --> lightning from storms between locations indicated. |
| 2026-05-15 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain during this period. VHF sporadic E's from the west 1300-kilometers away coming in as this is typed; this indicates lightning storms somewhere on the bisecting perpendicular running north and south. This often indicates rain is days away. |
| 2026-05-14 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain again. But road ditches and ponds are much improved the last two weeks with good rains. |
| 2026-05-13 | 6:00 AM | 0.94 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Rained intermittently throughout most of the daylight hours. Heaviest rain came, of course, half-way through my bicycle ride ten miles from this farm. |
| 2026-05-12 | 6:15 AM | 0.11 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Light rain fell just after midnight and although the radar indicated more rain, and indicates rain now at this location, nothing more fell. |
| 2026-05-11 | 6:30 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | The last period an unusual recent day without rain. Heard thunder about 8 PM after brief lightning flashes. 420-mile Sporadic E signals arriving on VHF as this is being typed --> rain and lightning somewhere on a north-south line between signal transmission and its arrival here. First time in a long time seeing standing water in ditches bordering road. |
| 2026-05-10 | 6:00 AM | 1.49 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | More rain fell than I thought during this period because I was working outside during the morning and did not really notice how much was falling. Work does not have to stop because of rain (but sometimes because of mud). |
| 2026-05-09 | 6:00 AM | 1.91 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Rains came about the same time and about the same amount two days in a row. Still looks threatening as this is being written although no measurable rain overnight. |
| 2026-05-08 | 6:00 AM | 1.89 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Rains arrived with strong winds. NWS indicated hail on the radar but none fell here thankfully. Solar panels and large hail are incompatible. |
| 2026-05-07 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain overnight although NWS said 80- to 100-percent chance; most is passing well north of here. Cloudy but moon dimly visible to south at elevation of about 60-degrees. Some intermittent VHF sporadic-E signals arriving from northwest. |
| 2026-05-06 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Some persistent contrails visible before dusk and after moon rise. Sporadic E VHF propagation occurring now from station west 450 miles away. Humidity quite high now. |
| 2026-05-05 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain during this period with high pressure. Clear and chilly overnight and warm during the day. Overflow from swamp dam is still empty just like the last 13 months. |
| 2026-05-04 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain. Persistent contrails from dawn until mid morning occurred mostly at low and mid altitudes above the ground here. |
| 2026-05-03 | 6:00 AM | 0.06 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Residual rain from previous period's major rain. Some standing water along road sides. |
| 2026-05-02 | 7:00 AM | 2.56 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Sprites during daylight hours with no measurable amounts. Dusk came early about 6-PM along with the much-needed rain. And it has not stopped at the end of the period. No flooding in this immediate area because all the water flows downhill into an almost dry swamp. |
| 2026-05-01 | 6:00 AM | T | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Little sprinkle twice leaving unmeasurable amount of rain. |
| 2026-04-30 | 6:00 AM | T | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Nimbus clouds moved in several times but failed to drop but a few raindrops here and there; it was a good Arizona high-desert rain --> drops every six inches. Useless to start to begin to commence to ending the drought! Sarcasm noted. |
| 2026-04-29 | 6:15 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Ugly clouds but no rain. Moderate distance sporadic E's this morning on VHF frequencies mostly from the west. |
| 2026-04-28 | 5:50 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No change in rain status: no rain. Lots of dark clouds throughout the morning hours with strong winds from SE; it cleared just before noon and got hotter. |
| 2026-04-27 | 6:20 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Any NWS rain prediction is a joke or a feeble jab at humor. Many persistent contrails visible at dawn now most above 25000 feet but descending and spreading quickly; there must be strong winds aloft. |
| 2026-04-26 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | It got quite dark about 12:30 PM like it would rain. The radar indicated in light green that it was raining here. But it must have evaporated while falling. |
| 2026-04-25 | 6:25 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain again. 600-mile sporadic-E propagation occurring at this time at VHF frequencies --> lots of lightning somewhere on perpendicular line half-way between here and the west. |
| 2026-04-24 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Rained all around this location about 2:30-PM but left us out again. How do you excise water repellent? |
| 2026-04-23 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | It rained 1/2-mile to the west. It rained 3/4-mile to the south. It did not rain at the rain gauge at all! This place must have water-repellent covering! |
| 2026-04-22 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Clouds moved in in late morning but not enough development to bring rain. It stayed warmer over night by 12-degrees indicating more moisture aloft. Nothing special to report this period except the usual: we need rain! |
| 2026-04-21 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Quite a few high-altitude persistent contrails in the morning. Forty degree change in temperature from dawn to dusk signify high pressure and thus little expectation for rain over the next few days. 300-mile VHF sporadic E propagation occurring now (short skip). Particulates quite low now because of the wind. |
| 2026-04-20 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | All that cloud that started at dawn and left just before sundown brought no rain; instead it brought lows near 40-degrees F. Just like Florida winters: cloudy, ugly, and dry! |
| 2026-04-19 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Lots of low (16K feet) persistent contrails throughout the morning hours of this period; mostly cloudy by noon, also, with brownish clouds. No rain, of course, but high pressure is breaking down finally for what is mostly likely a dry-front passing through this next period. No VHF enhancement this morning detected. |
| 2026-04-18 | 6:15 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain. But VHF reception from north central Mexico strong now from sporadic-E cloud somewhere on a bisecting line between us, most likely to the north; that means strong rain somewhere with lots of lightning (but not for here). |
| 2026-04-17 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Without well water, electricity, and a pump the garden would be dead from lack of rain. No pop-up thunderstorms from the Gulf either. |
| 2026-04-16 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | High pressure still predominates the local weather --> no rain. Farmers will be hurting by autumn if no rain is forthcoming. |
| 2026-04-15 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Ditto. Foggy now. Warmer than yesterday. 1200-km VHF sporadic E propagation now. |
| 2026-04-14 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Lots of persistent contrails at the beginning of this period decreasing some during the hottest part of the daylight. 1100-km (650-mile) sporadic E propagation prevalent on VHF frequencies as this is being typed. We need rain. |
| 2026-04-13 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Ditto 4-12-2026 report. |
| 2026-04-12 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Expecting rain under strong high pressure borders on insanity... No persistent contrails or VHF sporadic E propagation to herald rain. |
| 2026-04-11 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Cool nights and warm days; but no hint of rain. Cool nights indicate low moisture above allowing daytime warmth to escape. Drought continues. |
| 2026-04-10 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | It doth not rain water from cloudless skies; however, it doth rain gnats and no-see-ums (Ceratopogonidae family). |
| 2026-04-09 | 6:20 AM | 0.01 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Oh wow! One one-hundredth of an inch of rain! Maybe should consider starting on building an ark... |
| 2026-04-08 | 6:40 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Some clouds built up towards dusk and persistent contrails appeared also. But no rain. |
| 2026-04-07 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Cloudy and cool all during daylight hours; but no rain! Rather depressing mid-winter day. Next thing you know it will be snowing... |
| 2026-04-06 | 6:40 AM | 0.33 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Moderate rain finally fell about dusk. This morning much cooler and clearing. Many persistent contrails visible overhead tracking 100-degrees; they are really low and spreading north-to-south in width swathe. Sporadic-E VHF propagation about 400-miles. |
| 2026-04-05 | 6:10 AM | 0.26 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Thunderstorms surrounded this hill again and passed on but the west side of the last one. Dew point and temp are about the same this morning indicating fog. Sporadic-E from six hundred miles away at VHF frequencies strong this morning. |
| 2026-04-04 | 6:10 AM | 0.01 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Clouds starting building just afternoon. Strong thunderstorms in all directions by late afternoon. But only a dribble fell here. It looks like this little hill repels rain. |
| 2026-04-03 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Heard several claps of distant thunder late in the afternoon but no rain here. Warm 84-degrees F, however. |
| 2026-04-02 | 6:00 AM | 0.13 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Some drizzle for about an hour but no heavy rains. Areas to the south, west, and east, however, got drenched. This little hill repels rain. 500-mile sporadic-E propagation happening now on VHF frequencies. Nice moon still visible sinking to the west. |
| 2026-04-01 | 6:00 AM | 0.22 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | The early morning clear skies with persistent contrails at different heights gave way to cloudy by lunchtime and rain just after 1 PM. It never rained hard here but did north in Graceville proper and south in Chipley. Just enough thunder to frighten all the cats and dogs, however. |
| 2026-03-31 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No hint of rain. "Little Miss Muffett sat on her tuffet as the cow jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such sport, and the spider frightened the rains away." |
| 2026-03-30 | 6:20 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Ugly clouds and chilly throughout period but no rain. If I were the boss, if there were cloud there would be rain; else it would be clear and sunny. |
| 2026-03-29 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Strong winds around 8-AM blew away high particulates and ugly, stagnant clouds covered the area in late afternoon. No rain, however. No persistent contrails and no sporadic-E propagation noticed. Muon counts normal. |
| 2026-03-28 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | We need rain and none is forecasted any time soon. Dry front moving through today. Gulf waters are heating up quickly --> driving tropical storms and hurricanes early. |
| 2026-03-27 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain for nine days. VHF sporadic-E clouds apparent since FM Broadcast signals arriving from east Texas --> weather front between us somewhere (probably north). |
| 2026-03-26 | 6:20 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | 'There is nothing new under the sun!' And it did not rain again for the 8th day in a row. Clouds lifted by early afternoon... |
| 2026-03-25 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Cooler this period with winds from the east. Some clouds developed in the afternoon but no rain. Some smoke from distant fires. No persistent contrails visually or on infrared skycams. Gulf buoy temps are rising already in late March --> tropical storms and hurricanes develop earlier. |
| 2026-03-24 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Wind shifted from WNW to NE about 1-AM bringing smoke from distant forest fires and moderately high particulate count. Unusual cold front appears to be moving this way from the northeast. Some local ponds have several inches of water in their bottoms now for the first time in a year. |
| 2026-03-23 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Still clear skies with warmth during the day and cool at night. Sporadic E propagation upto 1200-km still occurring on VHF (Broadcast FM and 2-meters ham bands). |
| 2026-03-22 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No hint of rain although wind has moved coming from the north to coming from the southwest. Again, like previous period, mid-level persistent contrails in the mid-afternoon and sporadic-E propagation on VHF from the west happening as this is typed. |
| 2026-03-21 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain. Moderate smoke throughout period from distant forest fires. VHF sporadic-E signals arriving now from north central Mexico which is usually a June-July radio event, not March. |
| 2026-03-20 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Clear and cold overnight but 8-degrees above freezing now. Some persistent contrails between 16- and 24-feet unusual at this low altitude) yesterday midday indicating a lot of moisture at that height; it dissipated by mid afternoon. Some low areas between Chipley and Graceville have standing water for the first time in a year. |
| 2026-03-19 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain to report again; only clear, cold, and breezy. The high pressure is not breaking down yet. Not much moisture in the upper atmosphere since no persistent contrails. |
| 2026-03-18 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | High pressure maintained throughout this period --> no rain. Quite high number of persistent contrails during daylight hours. |
| 2026-03-17 | 6:05 AM | 0.63 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | The storm accumulation from the previous period continued for a few hours into the new period. Temperature went from 72-degrees F before dawn to 33-degrees F now some 23-hours later. Moderate winds accompanied the hard rains but not as bad as predicted. |
| 2026-03-16 | 7:10 AM | 0.76 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Heavy rain still falling and much lightning. Hard to get a physical reading in this weather. |
| 2026-03-15 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | NWS says more rain coming this evening and early morning. However, as has been true since Hurricane Michael, weather violence accompanies that rain. When was the last time you received several days of gentle rain? |
| 2026-03-14 | 6:15 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain during this period. Note that VHF Sporadic-E signals arriving now from 1100- to 1400-kms away in central Texas area; this indicates intense lightning and ionospheric turbulence between the two locations. |
| 2026-03-13 | 6:00 AM | 0.06 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Rain from the previous period extended into this period as drizzle. Cleared late morning. VHF radio sporadic E's went away as powerful thundershowers lost their punch. Persistent contrails not seen this period. |
| 2026-03-12 | 7:00 AM | 0.74 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Persistent contrails started mid-morning and persisted until clouds obscured them. Strong winds from the north accompanied the rain storm at 4:25 AM blowing plants from pots and blowing away anything lose. |
| 2026-03-11 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain but had to use well water for garden that is up and doing well. NWS forcasting some rain and then cold for a week. I hope the garden survives. VHF has sporadic E signals arriving from 600-km away; so E-layer cloud above strong low pressure making unusual propagation this morning for this time of year. |
| 2026-03-10 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain. However, quite warm for this time of year. Hoping no more killer frosts until fall since garden plants are up and growing quickly with warmth and more than sporadic rain. Dachshund Sierra died yesterday after over 16 years. |
| 2026-03-09 | 6:35 AM | 0.24 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Rain moved in mid-morning for a few minutes. Start and end times uncertain since travel to church occurred at the same time. Slowly flowing water leaving front of my swamp from off the road; that is first in almost a year. |
| 2026-03-08 | 6:05 AM | 0.19 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Another brief thundershower passed through in the afternoon. Rain is approaching from the west as this is typed although not expected during this period. DST means it is still dark when reading the rain gauge this morning. |
| 2026-03-07 | 6:15 AM | 0.01 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | We caught the seam between thundershowers to the west (jus west of Chipley) and to the east (Cottondale) moving SSE to NNW and received a sprinkle. Lots of persistent contrails throughout the morning until the thunderstorms obscured the upper skies. |
| 2026-03-06 | 6:00 AM | 0.26 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Clouds built until afternoon until thunderstorm passed slowly west to east. |
| 2026-03-05 | 7:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain yet although clear skies have changed to cumulus with dark bottoms. Trees, bushes, and shrubs have blossomed out beautifully. No more cold please. |
| 2026-03-04 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Clear and cool after warm afternoon. No rain. Very high particulate counts overnight. |
| 2026-03-03 | 6:15 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No clouds to hold rain. Interesting that VHF Sporadic E propagation is in this morning with central Mexico packet station signals arriving here in the Panhandle; this is usually indicative of weather inversion and lightning high in the atmosphere. It is expected in June but not early March. |
| 2026-03-02 | 6:35 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain under high pressure. Low areas of Washington, west Jackson, and east Holmes Counties have accumulated water in them for the first time in months. |
| 2026-03-01 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain this period. However, nice to see ponds and swamps with some water in them for the first time in months. |
| 2026-02-28 | 6:15 AM | 2.12 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Finally received substantial rain here although it washed out green manure gathering. |
| 2026-02-27 | 6:20 AM | 0.11 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Flash showers all throughout this period; that is, hard rain for about a minute or less many times with little accumulation. |
| 2026-02-26 | 7:00 AM | 0.04 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Trace of rain fell around 3:00-PM although 6-miles WNW here where I was riding my bicycle, it poured! A measurable amount fell this morning. Rainbow visible to the WSW as this report is being written. |
| 2026-02-25 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Null, nada, zero rain although some light clouds appeared in the early afternoon. |
| 2026-02-24 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No clouds --> No rain --> Drought continues. |
| 2026-02-23 | 6:20 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Cold and windy as high pressure moves in. Of course, NWS agains forecasts rain for midweek which rarely materializes in any useful way. We shall see. |
| 2026-02-22 | 6:25 AM | 0.09 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Summery day. Then after nightfall, the blast of cold started in with little rain. Mother Nature seems to dislike the Florida Panhandle when it comes to rain. |
| 2026-02-21 | 6:15 AM | 0.45 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Intermittent general showers throughout the period making it difficult to pinpoint times. |
| 2026-02-20 | 6:50 AM | 0.34 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | 0.06" fell at 5:52-PM and 0.28" fell this morning beginning at 4:49-AM. Light rain still falling at this report time. Measurement amounts from manual method; times from Acurite #00899A2 companion mounted with plastic cylinder. |
| 2026-02-19 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Heavy clouds and winds threatened rain but only brought scattered drops; not enough drops to even measure. Warm overnight and since dew point and temperature are the same, I expect to see fog outdoors when it gets light. |
| 2026-02-18 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Clear skies during the morning turned into cloudy skies by afternoon. No rain though. Drought continues. A false spring is occuring now. |
| 2026-02-17 | 6:10 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Overcast until early afternoon then cleared and got quite windy from the NNE. Failed to achieve predicted high because clouds lingered. No rain. |
| 2026-02-16 | 6:40 AM | 0.26 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Much less rain than NWS predicted. That is normal since the models are not including all parameters that affect the weather. |
| 2026-02-15 | 6:35 AM | 0.01 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | A measurable amount of light rain fell some time between 3:30-AM and 4:30-AM. NWS says up to 1.5-inches is on the way several hours after the time of this report. We shall see... |
| 2026-02-14 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain yet. High pressure is breaking down raising potential for rain. |
| 2026-02-13 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Warm days and cool nights. Elevated particulates started at 1-AM and continue. Temperature started up and dew point started down at 1:30-AM as barometer rose. We need rain. Last time NWS predicted 1- to 2-inches of rain we received 0.4-inches. |
| 2026-02-12 | 6:35 AM | 0.13 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Surprised by brief shower after dark. Cleared and cooler overnight. |
| 2026-02-11 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Low NWS rain prediction proved true. No rain. Large pond just southwest of Graceville Prison is completely empty now and growing weeds. I have never seen it this dry here. |
| 2026-02-10 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | A little foggy this morning which is expected since temperature and dew point are almost the same. |
| 2026-02-09 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain but warming trend brings spring patterns that usually include extended rain. |
| 2026-02-08 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Never got as warm as predicted during daylight and got colder than predicted overnight. No hint of rain. |
| 2026-02-07 | 6:10 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Cold morning, warm afternoon, and increasing winds from the west throughout the period. But no rain. Bicycle ride throughout area shows no drought resolution yet. |
| 2026-02-06 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Clear, windy, and cold throughout period. Got much colder than NWS predicted overnight. Low particulate count at this time. Nice moonlight. |
| 2026-02-05 | 6:30 AM | 0.59 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Good bit of rain fell sporadically until about 5-PM. Elevated nano-particulates started about 7-PM and continued until period end. |

| 2026-02-03 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Persistent contrails started after dark and visible through the moonlight. More clouds built overnight. Nano particulate count jumped at 10-PM and continues. (Unsurprisingly) |
| 2026-02-02 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Five-degrees colder this morning than NWS predicted. Yes, I realize NWS predictions are macro (with unknown bin sizes)... and I am micro measuring since that is the only way I can collect data. |
| 2026-02-01 | 6:15 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Wind and cold is the description; reminds me of duty in Hohenfels, (West) Germany in the early 1980's... |
| 2026-01-31 | 6:15 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Another dry front passing through leaving cold and wind in its wake. Many persistent contrails over this period mainly during daylight hours; unusual in that they were at many altitudes. Clear moon over night preparing for full moon tomorrow. Are the lunatics dancing? |
| 2026-01-30 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Persistent contrails throughout this period. Elevated nano-particulates started around 9-PM and continued overnight. Radar indicates sleet now but nothing reaching the ground. Temp and dew point started up at 2:45-AM. |

| 2026-01-27 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain. Lots of wind and cold however. I moved to Florida a decade ago to get away from the cold; it did not work. Now I get tropical storms, hurricanes, and tornados too! |
| 2026-01-26 | 6:35 AM | 0.83 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Majority of rain, 0.69-inch, fell between 2:15-PM CST and 4:15-PM CST. 0.14-inch fell sometime after dark. Blustery this morning. Saw double rainbow at 4:40-PM CST. |
| 2026-01-25 | 6:30 AM | T | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Sidewalks and paved driveway are wet. No measureable amount in the collector; a fews drops in the bottom... Very cloudy and warm, however for a few more hours. |
| 2026-01-24 | 6:15 AM | T | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Feathery sprinkle a few times during daylight hours. I did not class that as useful rain. |
| 2026-01-23 | 6:00 AM | T | NA | NA | NA | NA | | It sprinkled a few times yesterday for a few disconnected seconds; never enough to take drying clothes from the line. Why do we get the bitter cold and little rain? |
| 2026-01-22 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Increasing cloudiness but no rain yet. Wind shifted to the WNW. Warmer this dawn than recently. We need spring rains. |

| 2026-01-20 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | High pressure --> No rain. Nano particulates increased sharply at 9-PM and still increasing at this report. Red clouds high up to the east. |
| 2026-01-19 | 6:45 AM | 0.14 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Minor snow accumulation that melted by 9:15-AM. Cold 28-degrees this morning on higher thermometer and 27-degrees on lower (15-feet elevation difference). Clear and little wind. |
| 2026-01-18 | 7:00 AM | 0.67 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Intermittent trace pf rain during the daylight hours along with persistent contrails. Continuous rain started about darkness. Rain changed to sleet about 5:45-AM and to snow about 6:45-AM. Non-grass surfaces are slippery. No significant accumulation at reporting time except BIG snowflakes. |
| 2026-01-17 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain under cloudless sky during daylight hours. No persistent contrails visual during daylight hours. Ponds and swamps very low to empty; we need steady rain. |
| 2026-01-16 | 6:20 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No rain when under high pressure and cold. 23.1-degrees (calibrated) right now. |
| 2026-01-15 | 6:10 AM | T | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Clear, cold, and windy this morning with moon sliver in southern sky. Nano particulates very low. NWS says colder air on the way. |
| 2026-01-14 | 6:52 AM | 0.05 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | A little hard sprinkle fell for just a few minutes. It continues to look like it is going to rain more. If so, it will be reported during the next period. |
| 2026-01-13 | 6:05 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Heavy persistent contrails until early afternoon with murky gray skies by late morning. Highest ever nanoparticle readings here until about 2 AM this morning. |
| 2026-01-12 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Cold and windy throughout this period. But no rain. Ponds and swamps are still lowest I have ever seen in this area. Little doses of rain are not adding up to much. |
| 2026-01-11 | 6:25 AM | 0.30 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Some rain fell late afternoon dropping the temperature about 30-degrees. Another 20-degrees to fall before end of this period per the NWS. |
| 2026-01-10 | 6:30 AM | 0.16 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Cloudy most of this period with many persistent contrails at mid altitudes. Squall came through about 4:15 PM. Very windy made difficult 16-mile bicycle ride. Also light rain over night sometime. |
| 2026-01-09 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Warm and humid during the daylight period but no rain. Cooler this morning by 6-degrees. Nano-particulate counts have dropped to normal finally after 36-hours of assault (and pepper?). |
| 2026-01-08 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No hint of rain throughout this period. However persistent contrails and high nano-particulate readings started about 7-AM, built all day, and continued at least until dark. |
| 2026-01-07 | 6:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Some fog in morning hours but cleared in afternoon. No rain although NWS is always dangling rain in the near future to prop up their poor micro-forecasts: three-day macro prognostication is easy (I can do that!); one-day micro prognostication is evidently much harder (try adding micro ground temperatures to the parameter list...). |
| 2026-01-06 | 6:15 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Mostly cloudy during daylight hours but no rain. Need some sun to recharge solar battery systems. |
