10/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.71 0.0 M 0.0 M Light rain still falling at report time. Rain began yesterday afternoon at about 1:15 and except for brief periods has continued to rain lightly but steadily since then. Could see snow on the ground not far from our house about 1,500 feet higher in elevation than this station.
10/24/2010 7:00 AM 0.36 T M 0.0 M We did have snow showers as well as rain yesterday but the snow melted on contact with the ground. At 7AM this morning skies are clearing but we still have light rain sprinkles.
10/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.14 0.3 M T M Rain and temps in the 40's early this AM, but between 6:30 and 6:40AM the temp. rapidly dropped about 9 degrees F. and the rain turned to wind driven, wet, face-stinging snow. Snow accumulating on everything except places with bare dirt at 7AM.
10/26/2010 7:00 AM 0.17 1.1 0.15 1.5 M Snow on ground measurement (1.4") more accurate than snow on board (1.1") due to wind.
10/27/2010 7:00 AM 0.02 0.4 M 1.5 M New snow depth is an estimate. My snow board measured from 0.1" to 0.4" this AM. I went with the higher number because I know the board was blown clear at times yesterday following periods of light snow.

1/18/2011 7:00 AM 0.13 0.4 M 6.0 M Combination of wind, warm temperatures, and rain/snow mix actually caused our snowpack to decrease rather than increase. New snow amount is an estimate but feel comfortable saying less than 1/2" fell. Crusty snow surface and ice in places under the surface is probably going to make it hard on the wildlife in this area in terms of mobility and finding food. It's early in the winter to have those conditions.

2/8/2011 7:00 AM 0.14 2.0 M 13.0 M Wind, snow, drifting at observation time. Rain gauge mounted at eye level read 0.11", gauge mounted at 20" measured 0.16". Decided to average them and report 0.14" since blowing snow made it hard to tell which was more accurate. New snowfall is also an average of different depths on the snow board.
2/9/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 0.4 M 12.5 M New snowfall amount is an estimate because of wind. Based estimate on yesterday's water content of 0.07" water per inch of snow. Today's reading of 0.03" is less than half of 0.07" so came up with 0.4" of new snow as an estimate. There wasn't much else to go by.

Measured 1.3" on snow board before the wind came up at noon yesterday, am estimating that we got at least 0.2" since then so came up with 1.5" total, but that is an estimate. Snow board measurements this AM were anywhere from 2.5" to 4.0" but it was drifted snow. I'm sure there wasn't that much new snow that fell.

Can't really explain large difference in rain gauge precip. and new snowfall melted core except that there was quite a bit of wind in the early part of the storm. It's possible the rain gauge missed some of the wind driven snow or that the snow board had a little drifted snow on it however, snow board measurements were fairly consistent.

SWE measurement this AM is probably slightly low because there is a layer of ice right on top of the ground at the bottom of the snow layer that is very difficult to accurately include in the core sample. It is probably at least 1/4" thick. Got as much of it as I could.

3/17/2011 7:00 AM 0.10 2.1 0.13 15.0 M Snow falling steadily during report and at the moment. The new snowfall core is probably more accurate than the gauge reading for precipitation due to stiff wind at times. 0.13" is probably most accurate.

4/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.0 M Warm temperatures and a steady breeze really melted a lot of snowpack in the past 24 hours.
4/3/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 M 5.5 M Precipitation was rain. An amazing amount of melting past 24 hours. One place I measured 8.5" yesterday was bare ground this morning.
4/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.28 3.0 0.42 8.0 1.98 The actual rain gauge measurement was 0.14" but I know that wind caused the gauge to miss some precip. On the other hand, the snow board core of 0.42" seems too high. Decided to report an average of the two so, 0.14 + 0.42 = 0.56", 0.56 divided by 2 = 0.28". That seems reasonable when compared to the Total SWE for today. I drove in yesterday's snow and I know it was very wet and very, very slick so there was a good amount of water in the snow. New snow measurement right at the end of the storm was 3.0". By this AM it had already settled to 2.4".

4/7/2011 7:00 AM 0.06 T M 4.5 M Light snow fell and melted on contact with the ground most of the daylight hours of this period. There was no accumulation on the snowboard or ground.
4/8/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 4.0 M
4/9/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M I am reporting a trace of total snow on the ground since we are now less than 50% covered with snow but much of what is left in drifts and ravines is deep. In my back yard I have a large drift that is still well over 30" deep in some places. We have had minor flooding this week (our well house flooded and our garage) and so have others I've talked to. Sump pump sales are going strong here. There is a lot of runoff water around us.
4/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.23 1.7 M 1.5 M Precipitation started as rain then turned to snow. Some snow fell and melted, especially where there was bare ground. Later it began to accumulate. Total snow depth takes into account an average depth of snow patches left in yard as well as new snowfall. Avg. new snowfall depth where there was bare ground is 1.0".
4/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.02 1.2 M 3.5 0.70 New snow light and fluffy. Yesterday afternoon there was a little graupel mixed in with snow. For total SWE I estimate that 70% of the ground is covered with an average of 1.5" new snow and 30% of the ground is covered with deeper patches of snow averaging 8.5". Using those figures came up with an average of 3.5" total snow on the ground. Measured 0.70" water in 3.5" snow for total SWE. Noticed yesterday driving between Hot Sulphur Springs and Parshall that Colo. River appears to be nearly over the banks in places.
4/12/2011 7:00 AM T T M T M During the first hour of this observation period a trace amount of snow fell and quickly melted.

4/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.22 2.8 M 3.5 M Precipitation started as rain, turned to snow during the night. Total snow and ice on ground includes patches of snow that still average 7" to 8" in depth and cover approximately 20% of the ground in this area. Average depth of the new snow where the ground was bare, (80% of surrounding area) is 2.8". Several measurements taken this AM averaged 3.5" total.
4/15/2011 7:00 AM T T M T M Periodic showers of light snow fell and melted on contact with ground.

4/18/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 M 6.0 0.24 Avg. depth of snow left on the ground = 6.0". Estimate 10% of ground has snow cover. Measured 2.44" water in 6.0" snow. 2.44 x 10% = 0.24" total SWE.
4/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.53 2.3 0.35 2.5 M Difference between rain gauge measurement and snow board core is because it rained before it snowed. Took core of new snow on board just because I was curious as to how much water was in this very wet snow.
4/20/2011 7:00 AM 0.10 1.5 M T M Measured 0.5" new snow at 8:40AM. By 10:00AM we had 1.4", by 10:25 we had 1.5",then the wind started to blow. Snow continued to fall but the snow on the snow board began to melt. Sporadic snow and snow/graupel showers in the afternoon, no accumulation.
4/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.41 1.1 0.32 0.5 M Rain began sometime around 9PM. Changed to snow after 4:15AM. Snow is very slushy and will quickly melt. Noticed that neighbor's pond is flowing over the dam this morning and we continue to have minor flooding in our garage and root cellar as we have had now for several days.
4/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.07 T M T M Rain and blowing snow in the evening, snow melted quickly after contact with the ground.
4/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.08 1.8 0.08 2.0 M Nice gentle snow with no wind so far.
4/24/2011 5:45 AM 0.11 0.5 M T M 0.5" snow fell in the first 3 hours of this period then melted. It continued to snow but did not accumulate after that. In the evening it rained and during the night there was a snow/rain mix, but mostly rain, no additional snow accumulation.
4/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.23 0.4 M T M Snow/groupel/rain mix during afternoon and evening yesterday. Snow accumulated on vegetation, fence rails, grass, etc., but not on bare ground. I am not turning in a total SWE report today because I estimate that remaining snowbanks cover less than 10% of ground in this immediate area now. Some snowbanks in ravines and shaded areas are still probably 10" or more in average depth, but that is an estimate.
4/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.22 1.9 0.19 1.0 M Periods of rain and graupel showers in the afternoon and then snow and wind in the evening. New snow measurements were not very uniform this morning so took an average of several measurements. Snow on the ground is interspersed with some patchy spots where the bare ground is showing through the snow but overall it is mostly snow covered.

4/30/2011 7:00 AM 0.24 3.2 M 2.0 M Measured new snow depth several times during snowfall. Measured 2.9" just before strong wind started blowing. Snow continued to fall steadily after that but wind caused snow to start blowing off snow board. Gauge probably missed some snowfall too. Estimated that at least 0.2" fell while wind was blowing and another 0.1" of snow fell during the night, so estimate total new snow to be 3.2". Snow settled quickly once it was on the ground.
5/1/2011 7:00 AM T T M T M
5/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.06 0.3 M T M At 4:15 PM measured 0.3" of small, almost perfectly round graupel on snow board. At 5:10 PM there was another graupel shower, this time large sized (0.2" diameter) and not so round. This graupel shower turned to snow after about 5 minutes. Snowfall didn't last long. Measured amount on snow board but still had 0.3" depth. Some graupel and snow in second shower was probably absorbed by water from melting graupel that was on the board from the first shower. Snow shower and graupel quickly absorbed into wet ground in most areas.

5/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.17 0.4 M T M Snow accumulated on grassy areas, not on bare dirt. I suspect it rained before it snowed but did not actually see that, am basing that on rain gauge amount.
5/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.28 0.3 M T M Precipitation was a mix of rain and snow. Snow this morning accumulating on fence rails, roofs, and vegetation but not on the road or bare ground.

5/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.43 0.7 0.17 0.5 M Snowing at the moment. Snow is not sticking to the dirt on the county road but has accumulated everywhere else. It rained last night before it snowed. The snow board was wet from rain when the snow started so the bottom 0.3" of the core was slushy.
5/20/2011 7:00 AM 0.40 4.7 0.45 T 0.53 Snow from 6:30AM to 10AM. When snow ended I measured 4.5" new snow that had fallen between 7AM and 10AM, measured 0.45" board core and 0.53" core from total snow on the ground which was 5.2". By 3PM all but a few patches of snow had melted. At 9:30PM we got another 0.2" of snow which had mostly melted by this morning. ( No core taken of the additional 0.2"). Measured 0.40" in rain gauge this AM, but discovered top of gauge was partially blocked during yesterday morning's snow, so that measurement could possibly be a little lower than actual total amount of precipitation.
5/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.29 0.6 M 0.0 M Precipitation a mix of rain, snow, graupel. At 3PM I measured 0.6" of snow. It melted within 2 hours. More rain/snow during the night, no snow accumulation. Rain and snow at report time but it is melting as it hits the ground. No snow on the ground.

We had trace amounts of misty rain early and late in the day and had a short snow shower at 9PM that melted as soon as it contacted the ground. Thin layer of frost this morning on vegetation and wood railings. The frost may have dashed our hopes for lilac blossoms that were about a week from blooming . . . we'll see.
