10/25/2010 8:30 AM M M M M M my gauge got knocked down so I dont how much water was in it; but it did rain overnight. It was very windy all night; it started mostly maybe 10pm? At midnight I went out bec. it was so loud and windy, to "tie things down," and it was about 70mph. It lasted all night; lots of constant bursts of wind; and into the morning. Closer to 50mph in morning.

Overcast. 1/2 the mountains were covered with clouds. I drove to Boulder 3pm and the whole hwy. 36 from Pinewood Springs to Lyons was 1/2 covered mtns. (which is unusual for the lower altitudes); and then Foothills, hwy. 36 was like driving in a cloud. On the way back, at 6pm, it was still thick with moisture in the air, ALL the way home. Some people used their fog lights in the mtns./road. In morning it was sunny and 26 degrees at 8:30am.
11/11/2010 9:30 AM 0.12 1.8 M 1.8 M Cold all day & night; overcast. In morning, trees were covered in snow & remained all day. I went to Lyons & found that all trees/mountains 2 miles outside of Pinewood Springs were "coated" and further SW on hwy. 36 there was no snow. Snowed overnight mostly, and a bit in the morning. Still cloudy. There was a thin layer of ice on the bottom of the gauge & on the handrailing on the deck.
11/12/2010 9:00 AM T 0.1 M 1.8 M Snow appeared on the railing, but I dont think I saw it fall, so I dont know if it was "blown snow" or fresh snow?? There was snow in the gauge, so I'm thinking it more likely "fell"? It was a very cold day; mostly overcast.

12/21/2010 9:30 AM T M M M M Well, I dont know what happened, but it did rain briefly (saw semi-wet porch), and then it rained a little harder (wetter porch); but this morning there was nothing in the gauge. It did start to snow lightly at maybe 9:30am? ==The eclipse started at around 11pm. We could see the moon eclipse from here. There were occasional grey or black clouds floating by, but sometimes, it was so clear you saw the stars. I did see the "reddish" color come out when the moon was almost fully covered at about 1pm.(prior to that it was just grey..the shadow) It was not pitch black outside for some reason...when it was a full eclipse. I did hear dogs howling on and off for the approx. 2 hrs.
12/22/2010 9:00 AM M 0.5 M 0.5 M It snowed a lot over the day, but little accumulation. I dropped the guage when I went to measure the preciptation; sorry, but it looked like very little, maybe .01? or .02?

12/31/2010 8:30 AM 0.16 3.8 M 5.0 M It snowed all day, lightly, ending about 5pm. At that time I measured it: 2-1/2 inches and .07 precip. in gauge. This morning I measured the new snow at 1-1/4 and .09 in the gauge. The snow has also settled, and the depth is 5" even though more than that has fallen in the last 2 days. It went down to about 3 degrees during the night. it is no longer snowing.
1/1/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 M At midnight it was 4 degrees. I think it has gone to zero these "freezing days", but I didnt see it go below that.
1/2/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 4.0 M Very windy day, beginning early in the morning. It swept across the snow and reduced the size, and made some snow drifts, chiseled the formations. Was still blowing after dark (I went to bed a 1am). Otherwise, sunny day. Surprisingly not that cold. During the day I noticed it was 14-15 degrees, and even 14 deg. at 10:20pm, and 23 degrees in morning 9:30am.
1/3/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M During the day about 3pm it was 34 degrees. At 10:30 pm it was 20 degrees. In the morning at 9:40am it was 22 degrees, so it is warming up.

It was quiet at night.

There was 3-1/4" of NEW snow and .17 preceip. At 10:40pm it was 9 degrees. Looked like about 3" more snow. AT 7 am it was 5 below zero; and same at 8:30am. NEW snow was 2-1/2" of snow with .13 percip. That's a total of 5-3/4" of snow, but when I measured it this morning, it was only 5-1/4"; also, the snow has settled, as it doesnt count the 1" which fell for Saturday's report, which would make a total of 6-3/4" of snow in depth.
1/11/2011 9:00 AM T T M 5.0 M Monday at 11:40am it was 11 degrees and at 2:30pm it was still 11 degreees. At 5pm it was zero. Strangely it went up to 6 degrees at 11pm (in Denver it was 4 deg. at 10pm per the news). Sunny & no new snow. While there was some on the snow board & gauge, I believe it was just blowing snow. This morning at 8:45am it was 6 deg. and at 9:45 it was 10 degr. Sunny.

1/18/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It was a windy day again, but nice and sunny. Not as strong of a gust as day before. We had a brief moment Monday early morning without wind.
1/20/2011 9:00 AM 0.15 3.8 M 3.8 M It started off as a sunny day, and then the clouds started to roll in a little after 1pm. It started to snow approx. 3:20 pm. It was heavy and wet at first. I tried to drive down hwy. 36 south to Lyons & got about 4 miles, but it was so slippery (I experimented with breaking slowly) that I turned around & went back home. It snowed till sometime around sunset. I measured the snow at 10:30pm and it was 3-3/4" and 10 degrees. Thursday morning it is sunny & not snowing. I shoveled/brushed the snow & it is that light sparkly "fairy dust" kind of snow.
1/21/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M It got very windy about 4 or 5pm until about 20pm. Busts about 80mph; it was really pounding the house like I've hardly ever heard it before. It calmed down overnight & I could sleep, but it was still windy a bit, espec. noticed it in the morning when I got up and walked around. Sunny day. At night 11:30pm it was 32 degrees. The winds literally blew all the snow (5") off the 100 ft. driveway, and exposed the gravel. I dont think I've seen this before! And, there were no huge snow drifts. It was hard finding some patches that had not been disturbed, drifted, or blown away, in order to measure the snow. But most of the low areas or obstructed (eg, by house) areas were 2" in depth.

2/8/2011 9:00 AM 0.20 2.5 M 6.0 M It snowed a bit during the day. It was windy in the late morning and early afternoon. It snowed a bit again in the evening. By Tuesday morning, there was 2" to 2.5" of snow. In some places it was 2-1/2". At 2am it was 5 degrees with just under 1" of snow. At 8:45am it was 3 degrees and it went down to 1 degree at 11 am. It had melted a bit and under the new snow was a thick layer of ice, amost 1" thick, so it was hard to measure the depth of the snow only (I took my measurement in a place I had cleared off the old snow, so it was dry on the bottom).
2/9/2011 9:00 AM 0.02 0.0 M M M At 12noon it was 5 degrees; at 2:30 pm it was 5 degrees. At 2am it was "negative 11" degrees. at 9am it was 1 degrees.

2/14/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M Mostly sunny day. snow melting. At 11:30am it was 55 degrees already. There was 3.5" at 1pm and 76 degres in the sun. At 4:30 PM, as the sun set, but still light, it was 3" of snow and 52 degrees. At midnight it was 34 degrees. I measured in the "protected" areas that were not near the house. I was very surprised more didn't melt; maybe because it didn't get as much sun as the deck. But the driveway is still icy and hard to walk on.
2/15/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warm weather, melting the snow. Pretty much all gone on the deck and within 25 feet of the house. Still a layer of icy snow on driveway.
2/16/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M Tuesday was sort of warm. At 12:35 noon it was 63 degrees, but did not feel warm enough to sit outside. At 4:30pm it was 52 degrees. Wednesday morning, the wind started to pick up around 4am, and got stronger as the morning progressed. The snow still covers about 60-70% of the ground. It measures 1.5" and 2.5" in some places, but mostly 2". It is a little bit "hollow" as I stuck my ruler in it. The driveway still has some ice.
2/17/2011 9:00 AM 0.01 0.1 M M M It was nice outside, about 52 degrees. Melting all day. A surprise snow fall over night. There was 1/16" of snow (but it was a solid covering, could hardly see the deck) over night. Sunny morning. The morning sky was yellowish.
2/21/2011 9:00 AM T M M 0.0 M A sunny day, but cold, and windy. The wind came and went, and was not super strong, like nearby Lyons. Sunday, woke up to a dusting of snow, which quickly melted. Only a few patches of snow are left in shady areas, so I am putting "0" as depth of total snow.
2/23/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny day. Seemed colder than the temperature. Around 50 degrees. Still some hard ice on the driveway; and snow patches in shady spots.

Then about 6pm it started to snow (normal), and by 8:30pm, my car outside was covered in about 3/4" of snow. The road from Lyons to Estes and Allenspark were snow covered by 8pm (per some friends of mine in both cities, and my own travels). It snowed all night and continued in the morning, when I got my measurements. I believe the snow was deeper than the 6.3" I have marked, as it looked like the new snow was weighing down the old snow. My Allenspark friend said it was very windy going from Lyons home. I did not experience anything to speak of, myself.
2/26/2011 9:00 AM 0.16 2.0 M 7.8 M It snowed all day. At about 9pm I went out and took measurements; it had stopped snowing. It was 7-3/4" total, with 2" of new snow, coming to .15 precipitation. In the early morning it snowed slightly, with less than an inch accumulation, and .01 precipitation. It was melting like crazy all morning (practically from dawn); chunks of snow were falling off the trees etc. It seemed a lot warmer than the last few days when I went out to shovel snow at 11am (no matter what the thermostat said).
3/2/2011 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny day. Seemed to get colder than expected at night. Things still melting outside. The big piles of snow still there, but the thinner areas are showing some bare ground. No wind to speak of. It was 80 degrees in the direct sun, but mostly in low 60s.
3/4/2011 9:00 AM T M M 3.0 M It was mostly a sunny day and around 50-60 degrees. But at 4:30pm it got cloudy and a very cold strong wind blew in with some snowfalkes, and it ended about 5pm. It shook up the trees, swirling around. Afterwards it seemed to warm up a bit. There's about 3" of snow left on the ground. Some spots are dry ground; more melted today than any other day. I was able to chop up all the ice in the driveway, as it was soft enough, and I scattered it a bit.
3/7/2011 9:30 AM T M M M M Cold Sunday. Woke up Monday to everything covered in a white icy film -- especially noticeable on the tree pine needles, tall grass, and porch red deck; 18 degrees.
3/8/2011 9:30 AM T M M M M It was overcast and 18 degrees all day. The trees were covered in a layer of icy snow. New snow fell during the day, but it was very light and looked like specks of round rice. Was 18 degrees at midnight and again at 9:30 am.

I had big stuff that was next to my garage thrown into the front driveway. I've never had that happen before (like a metal horse watering barrell and a wooden box). This means it would have come from the east. In the afternoon, when the winds started, it dropped 15 degrees in about an hour. It also snowed around 2 or 3pm, and it was so windy the snow was horizontal. No accumulation mainly bec. of the wind. It blocked the view of the mountains (about 1/2 miles away).

At about noon, the flakes got thicker, and you couldnt see more than maybe 100 feet. At about 12:30 or 1pm it stopped. I looked into the distance and the mountain that is about 2 miles? away to the east did not have any snow on it! but everything in my yard, incl. trees, was covered in snow. At about 2-2:30pm the snow on my deck and railing turned into thick slush, and fog rolled in; it was 32 degrees. At 3:15 still fog, and there were soft icicles hanging off my deck railing, from the melting. At 4:30 pm heavier fog came back; it was 32 degrees. At 11:20 pm it was 26 deg; and at 1:20am it was 22 degrees and felt really cold. Monday morning was sunny, and the snow was a thin, spotty (broken up) layer of ice.

Around noon to 1pm there was quite a bit of loud thunder. There was deep, dirty, quick streams of water running across my driveway and in the fields next to my home. It went over the normal small ditch paths and flooded the field about 1-2 inches. (it's a small field, as most of the land is sloped, and runs down hill; this is a flater piece about 50 x 50 feet.) It was overcast, and the mountains were covered by mist most of the day. It was really pouring out of the gutters. This morning it was not raining. It was 45 degrees at 11:45 am Wedn.

At 10 pm I noticed the rain had stopped and the deck was dry. I looked at the sky and there was a constant lighting brightening the sky thru the clouds, striking about every second or two (no "lines" of lighting, just brightness). I went to bed after that & put in ear plugs because there was a distant rumbling thunder, not too loud, but irritating. This morning the deck was wet, but not soaked. At 9:30am a thick fog came and you could hardly see 30 ft. (the gauge was emptied at 9am; no more rain).

7/6/2011 3:12 PM Wedn. at 1:10pm, thunder and dark clouds rolling in. Then thunder fades. At 3:10pm approx. heavy rain, then 2 minutes of hail of 1/2" size, and spread apart a fair distance. But accumulated in corners. It came at a hard angle from the east, which was unusual. The rain came in my sliding door screen, which has a very big hangover. Then hail stopped and all melted quickly, and more heavy rain. Some thunder. By 3:23 it was all done. At 4:22pm more heavy rain and thunder. Both times there was a stream of fast moving water in the small spring I have on my property in spring. All cleared up by 4:45 pm. I looked at the gauge which showed .04". In morning there was .01 more. Sunny. NA 1/2" Grape NA Hard|White Ice 2 1min Continuous True After rain 30-40 .3
7/9/2011 1:26 PM rain and hail at 1:26 pm. Lasted only a few minutes. the hail was about .5" and about a foot apart. Melted in a few minutes. NA 3/8" NA White Ice 3 1min no damage Continuous True Same time as rain Same time as smaller hail 202
7/11/2011 2:55 PM Rain at 2:55pm; partial cloudy, mainly toward NW. Hail at 3:02pm to 3:08 along with rain; melted within 1 minute after stopping; from 1/16" to 1/2" in size. spaced about 2" apart. Rain continued after hail stopped. At 3:13pm it was sunny; the dark clouds were partially obscuring the mountains to the east, and still raining here. Thunder the whole time here and when in the east. Stopped 3:25pm. Measured: .49". Some of the hail came down so hard that it bounced back up, as high as 3 feet. It was raining pretty heavy while it hailed; I would say they were probably equal. At 5:15pm more rain and thunder; measured .08". No more overnight. Cooled down quite a bit. 1/2" Grape NA Rice White Ice 6 1min no damage Continuous False Same time as rain Same time as smaller hail 10-20 107 2
