Crop damage is apparent in local fields (corn and soybeans primarily), with stunted corn and barely-populated ears. I have seen several local farmers have plowed under their soybean crops, as the cost of fuel and labour to harvest the scant beans was more than the price they would get from selling the crop. |

| 2025-03-24 | 7:00 AM | 0.08 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | As I said yesterday, we had early-morning (0800 23 Mar 2025) hail, a small hail-core producing 5 to 7 mm hailstones, for perhaps 2 minutes. Extremely gusty winds, enough electrical discharges to make me nervous. (I was helping take down a metal-framed pavilion while the worst of it was occurring. Local beer-fest the day before, and the town fire department demanded we remove the pavilion and clear the street before 0830, lightning be damned. It was unpleasant, to be honest. Even pea-sized hail stings...) |

Unconfirmed reports, though the sources were credible, of a very brief snow flurry ~20 km east of this location (Giant City State Park, The Lodge). There was no accumulation there, either. Just a few minutes of blowing snowflakes in the air. |

This is the centennial anniversary of the "Tri-State Tornado," which in 1925 destroyed almost every building in this little town. Getting a pass last night and early this morning was ... nice. |

The fifteen minutes of precipitation yesterday morning around 0800 left about 0.03 inches of mud in my gauge. Not much free water, just a layer of very wet slurry. Which was also on my car, the neighbour's cars, and every other surface. Car wash business was phenomenal, as this was area-wide, extending into eastern Missouri and northwestern Kentucky at least. (From ham radio reports. I get around on the wireless.) Per local meteo reporting, this was the residue from a west-Texas dust storm, and the precipitation falling through it, which until it gained the mass of the dust would have never reached the ground - just virga. |

Yes, there was precipitation. It even lasted for more than a few minutes. But the total was maybe 30 flakes in the gauge in 12 hours...
We need a new classification for "Well, something fell out of the sky, and it wasn't a 737 toilet purge...."

Temperatures are roughly 20F above historic norms, after a week of being roughly 20F BELOW historic norms. It's a wild ride. |

Perhaps add another letter to the CoCoRaHS acronym, a second capital "S?" To stand for "SLUSH." Not enough snow left, nor ice, to accurately measure. By sun-up this morning, it was mostly bare patches of ground, and the piles left by shovels and plows. Any measurement would be something of a farce. Sorry. |

Sublimation (some wind, quite a bit of sunlight most of yesterday and starting in today) along with melting from rising temperatures are eating away rapidly at the snow. The ice beneath is getting a bit thicker from re-freezing at night, but the melt water is mostly running off. |

| 2025-02-17 | 7:00 AM | T | NA | NA | 1.0 | NA | | Barely moist? Micro-trace?
A few minutes mid-morning light snowfall. But it did hit the gauge funnel, so "T" it is.
And the average "snowpack" depth is about 0.8 inches, measured, composed almost totally of solid ice, and a bit of really degraded snow crystals layered on top. We've actually had a bit of sunshine, but really low temps have made conditions a remelted mess.

We have some hope for at least a little rain tonight into tomorrow. This area is under a fire watch and outdoor burning ban due to the extreme dryness of the vegetation. This is exacerbated by the large amount of downed and dead/dying trees caused by the ice storm roughly two weeks ago. It has left a lot of fuel on the ground, and any spark could set off very large fires in this heavily-wooded area. (State and national forests and wildlife refuges.) |
