Default How Much Rain Did You Get

We had a very nice rain, stated about 7:00 last night and still raining off and on, 20mm in the gauge, it's a good start but could sure use more

Just a bit of snow here last night that will only settle the dust on gravel roads but nice to see some of Alberta getting much needed moisture

Steady rain until shortly after eight and then it changed to steady snow. Glad to get it.

Snow has picked up, starting to accumulate. Visibility is down to a couple hundred yards. Have an appointment tomorrow morning, could be an interesting drive.

Not a single drop east of Hanna. Dust is flying. Normal.

Probably a good 4 inches of wet snow earlier today. Just started snowing again. Awesome moisture. The ground is thawed and sucking in the valuable moisture. Very good for the wheat I seeded last week

I thought it was going to be white when I woke up this morning, but when I opened the blinds the sky was blue and the sun was out. Lethbridge didn't get much today.

I took down the snow fence too soon. The pasture looks like there is about 4" of snow, but the yard is drifted in up 10"... that is about as bad as it got all winter.

Don't really know, but it rained Monday night, rained/snowed most of the day Tuesday, and is still raining/snowing this morning. Must be over an 1", around Red Deer.

Yesterday’s 6 inch of dripping wet snow now 2/3 melted.

Forecast for 4-8 inches of snow plus rain today. Will see if it comes.

Was a drizzle going overnite, off and on, was steady when I got up at 8AM today, til about 10-10;30AM, tried to snow for a 15min period. It'll green things up a bit, but, not likely to be enough to do the soil around here a whole pile of good. They say .03" yesterday. May achceive 1/2" today, we will see.
