Added meas: 2/17 6pm 9"depth 3.0SWE -
Dense fog for much of the day. A 4" crust has permeated snow surface, strong enough to walk on. Had to cut it with knife, lest I fracture the rain gage. Below that, unconsolidated ice pellets, down to the ground. Previous 1-2" ground layer is gone.
Note: this is a high value, but avg for my yard. Bare patches starting to show around trees, old footsteps, slopes, etc. |

Driving past Lake Minnetonka,
the mansions' long sloping lawns are snowfree.
Thursday's fog ate all the snow atop the ice.
On my snowboard, in a fenced and shaded yard,
eight-point-five inches of hard, hard snow remain.
Bring breadknife with the spatula today,
to spare the brittle gage.
Tonight will bring more. |
