1/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.72 5.4 0.72 5.5 0.67 A significant weather report was filed. Snow started 21:40 1/9, about an inch by midnight, and 1.7" at 0300 1/10. At 1/10 0500, 2.8" snow and 0.37" outer core liquid. At 1/10 0700 report time, from three places, an average of 5.4" new unsettled snow and 0.67" liquid equivalent from sampled outer cores. Snow continuing, and possibly beginning sleet/pellets at 0700 but before 0700 completely snow.
1/11/2011 6:00 AM 0.38 0.0 0.38 5.5 0.78 A significant weather report was filed since a layer of ice lies atop yesterday's snow. 1/11: Coincidentally, the snow ceased at the 1/10 7am reporting time. Precipitation continued as ice pellets, and then frozen mist, which accumulated to 1/2"-3/4" of frozen crust atop the 5.5" snow by this reporting time. Collection of this frozen material in the outer cylinder amounted to 0.38" liquid from 1/10 7am to this reporting time. 0.35" liquid equivalent fell 1/10 7am-2:30pm, and then an additional 0.03" liquid equivalent 1/10 2:30pm to this reporting time. One last measurement: ice accretion average 3 millimeters (1/10") on ONE side of twig or clothesline. Temperature at this time, 30.1 degF. Highest temperature since the event began 30.6 degF yesterday at 3pm.
1/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 5.0 0.83 1/11: No further precipitation. Max temp 35.4 degF at 14:30; temps above freezing 10am-7pm, but very little melting. Temp at this time: 22.5 degF. Old snow had to be cracked with a hammer to get a good cored sample for water content - about 0.3" ice on top. Very little change in core melt.
1/13/2011 6:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 4.9 0.84 1/13, Day 4 begins: Measurements of old snow are getting tricky. I'm using a semi-exposed long bench, which I estimate gets about 50% sun during the day. There is now a 0.5" ice cap on top of the snow, and little obvious air space between it and the snow underneath. The depth to the top of the ice cap was 4.9" this morning. The water content of outer cylinder core is 0.84", not appreciably different from the last few measurements. This is also less accurate since it's very hard to get a representative sample with 0.5" ice cap, but I gently hammered the surface to produce cracks before sampling. No precipitation in the last 24 hours. Full sun yesterday. At 5pm 1/12, Wolfskin Road north of our access road, and a mile stretch of US 78 west of that was mostly clear, but frequent puddling and wet spots will be slick invisible ice this morning on Wolfskin. Outside of that we still had 100% coverage of snow and ice. Our access road was 90% covered in snow and ice yesterday over its 0.8 mile length at 4pm. Temperature at 6am, 18.9 degF. Max temp yesterday was 34.5 degF at 2:45pm. Above freezing only noon to 4pm.
1/14/2011 6:55 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.5 0.71 Friday 1/14, Day 5 begins: Measurements of old snow are tricky - see yesterday's comment for all the procedural stuff. I'm using a long bench well above the ground for core measurements, and it is sun exposed about 50% of the day. It's now clear that there is less melting there than there is with snow/ice on warmer soil or dark rock surfaces. The depth to the top of the 0.6" ice cap was 4.3" this morning. We're now at about 80% coverage, not including roads, so my depth number entry will be 4.3" x 0.8 = 3.4". The water content of outer cylinder core is 0.71". No precipitation since the end of the event Monday evening. Full sun yesterday. At 5pm 1/13, things becoming icy and very slick again. Temperature at 06:55 is 13.9 degF, the coldest so far of this winter season. Max temp yesterday was 38.8 degF at 2:30pm. Above freezing only 11am to 5pm, dropping quickly to below 30 degF by 6pm.

It's now clear that there is less melting there than there is with snow/ice on 100% sun, warmer soil, or dark rock surfaces. The depth to the top of the 0.6" ice cap was 3.9" this morning. We're now at about 70% coverage, not including roads, so my depth number entry will be 3.9" x 0.7 = 2.7". The water content of outer cylinder core is 0.66", a small decrease from yesterday. No precipitation since the end of the event Monday evening. Full sun yesterday. At 8pm 1/14, things becoming icy and very slick again. Temperature at 06:55 is 21.6 degF. Max temp yesterday was 42.2 degF at 2:10pm. Above freezing 11am to 7pm, dropping quickly to below 30 degF by 8pm.

I'm using a long bench well above the ground for core measurements, and it is sun exposed about 50% of the day. It's now clear that there is less melting there than there is with snow/ice on 100% sun, warmer soil, or dark rock surfaces. The depth to the top of the 0.5" ice cap was 3.1" this morning. We're now at about 50% coverage, not including roads, so my depth number entry will be 3.1" x 0.5 = 1.6". The water content of outer cylinder core is 0.84", so it consists mostly of ice cap and more densely packed particles. No precipitation since the end of the event Monday evening. Full sun yesterday. At 9pm 1/15, temps dropped below freezing. Temperature at 7:00 is 26.6 degF. Max temp yesterday was 48.7 degF at 2:30pm. Above freezing 10am to 8pm.
1/17/2011 6:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.5 M Monday 1/17, Day 8 begins, and my snow details come to an end for now: Rough estimates here - I did not take a water equivalent measurement. My snowboard is nearly melted away and I've exhausted sampling places. Snow is completely gone from exposed areas, and southerly slopes. I found a healthy but sluggish juvenile black rat snake moving about yesterday, so that gives you some idea. There is still 1-2" of snow and ice on the ground under the canopy, and on slopes tilted to the north. Eyeballing it, we're certainly below 50% coverage, but zero old snow and even a trace would be too low an estimate. Given the rough numbers of 1-2" and less than 50% coverage, I'll put us at 0.5" old snow. No precipitation since the end of the event Monday evening. Full sun yesterday. Temperature at 03:00 is 29.0 degF, but rising to 31.5 deg at 06:00 as clouds form for rain today and tomorrow. Max temp yesterday was 53.0 degF at 2:20pm. Above freezing 9:30 am to about 9pm. A direct report at 6pm related that there were wet spots on Wolfskin Road, so still some potential for ice early this morning.
1/18/2011 7:00 AM 0.23 0.0 M T M 1/17: Light rain began 13:25 from south and moved SW to NE, end at 22:00 with occasional lapses. 0.23". Snow coverage only about 20% now, with less than an inch, so I will rate this as a Trace. Max temps 45.1 degF at 2pm, dropping to a stable 37-38 degF during the night. Still some slush and hard chunky ice on a stretch of Belmont Road at 10pm. This very unusual snowfall remained significantly on the ground for eight full days.

6/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.15 M M M M 6/22: I was in Athens 15 miles WNW. Rainfall was probably around 6-7pm. Seemed much more vigorous on south campus in Athens than 0.15" would imply. Radar suggested we at Wolfskin just got the south edges of the otherwise intense northeastward moving storm.
6/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.19 M M M M 6/23: 0.01" each at 12:30 and 16:25, but the main rainfall, 0.17", was from a storm that developed over us around 15:15, after the front swept past around noon. That little storm spread eastward, moving in the same direction.

A lot of thunder, wind cooled things down! 0.02" in constant sprinkle 21:30-22:45, again the several surprise showers were more intense in all directions around us, but sure appreciated the cooling wind! 7/15: some heavy mist 06:10-06:30 did not add to the accumulation.

8/13/2011 7:00 AM 1.02 M M M M 8/12: Quite a considerable storm, or two, rather, which seem to have met over us and converged - one coming from the north and one from the west. Heavy rainfall with considerable lightning 22:51-23:15 dropped 1.02". There may have been some sprinkles before and after. I should have filed a significant weather report.

9/6/2011 7:00 AM 0.95 M M M M 9/5: 0.20" between 7am and noon, and 0.75" between 5pm and 10pm. Can't be sure since I wasn't here the whole time. Did have a tornado warning 5-5:30pm at UGA. Very disappointing - the 3-5" that were supposed to have materialized from the river of precipitation stayed mostly to the west of us. Did cool things down, though, and after a record number of days with highs 90+ since May, that's not anything to complain about.
9/7/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M A small amount of water in the gauge indicated a little drizzle had fallen, but I'm not sure when.

9/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.18 M M M M 9/21: Most fell between yesterday's report time and 9am, 0.13". A small shower 14:14-14:20 produced 0.03". 9/22: Additional 0.02" between midnight and 4am.
9/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.45 M M M M 9/22: 0.02" from light rain 8:45am and 21:45-22:45. 9/23: 0.43" from 1am to about 6am. Major coverage has passed but occasionally showers look to continue.
9/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M 9/23: last 0.01" from yesterday morning's rainfall fell after 7am. We had 1.02" from this 4-day event, and that was probably on the low end for state rainfalls.

9/26/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M 9/25: A few completely unexpected drops around 7:20am. This was not from the severe thunderstorm that occurred in the east-southeast Oglethorpe County area in the mid afternoon. We didn't get any rain from that, although we could hear the thunder.
9/27/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M 9/26: Anomalous localized thunderstorms moved past us from the southwest, dropped 0.03" 23:20-23:45 as they sideswiped us moving northeast. Fair amount of distant thunder.
9/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.32 M M M M 9/27: I was in Athens (where it only sprinkled) but this storm seems to have moved through between 6 and 7pm.
