10/29/2009 10:15 AM 0.93 13.6 0.93 16.7 M Another late measurement but represents close to 24-hour total. Melted core value is only snow that fell in cylinder. More snow over-topped cylinder so I suspect more precipitation fell than was recorded. Did not take actual "core" as conditions are too difficult for the time being. Winds gusting over 25mph, lots of drifting, current temp and OVNL=21º.
