It was a quiet weekend weather wise except for yesterday morning. We had fairly heavy snow until around 11:00 a.m.. It is really hard to measure depth of snow due to fact of drifting from original storm.I also realized I measured melted value incorrectly on day of storm.///Total snow changed to NA (was 26.0) and Total SWE changed to NA (was 1.66).
