Not seeing a table with this post. ??
HA! You're right. A little off my game. Home sick today. I'm on it now.
get well soon ... I see the table now ... MDT climat report for 30th says trace. sounds like it should say more from what you've mentioned. -- RS
I looked at the METARs on the 30th. Didn't think much if anything of them. The wind was blowing so hard ... don't see how a few tenths of an inch could even be measured. Nothing ended up in the tipping bucket (P-group or 6-group).
