Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
9/22/2010 10/06/2010 7:00 AM 15 2.55 M M Hail was on the ground under eaves upon return. National Weather Station gauge showed 2.55" precip; COCORAHS gauge showed 2.48".
10/13/2010 10/19/2010 1:30 PM 7 0.28 M M Some evaporation occurred. Gauges are in direct 10,000' elevation sunlight; funnels and cylinders removed because of freezing temperatures. COCORAHS gauge read 0.14; National Weather Station 8" gauge recorded 0.28"
10/21/2010 10/23/2010 7:00 AM 3 1.45 T M One inch of very slushy snow on board morning of 21 October. Did not have time to measure water equivalent due to early departure.
11/17/2010 12/04/2010 1:00 PM 18 0.28 1.5 M National Weather Service eight inche gauge regisgered 0.28" of precip; COCORAHS four inche gauge registered 0.12". With no cap on either gauge no doubt a significant amount of precip evaporated from both gauges.
2/9/2011 2/13/2011 10:00 AM 5 0.47 22.5 M All snow fell on Tuesday, 08 Feb. Anecdotal average depth from two locals was 9.5". SWE is from steel 8" NWS gauge. There were four days of intense sunlight following the snow day at my 10,000 elevation. High temperature was 41.2 degrees. Have no idea how much of the snow sublimated or melted and evaporated with the sunlight beating on the gauge.
2/23/2011 2/26/2011 7:00 AM 4 0.01 18.5 M
3/8/2011 3/09/2011 6:30 PM 2 0.34 18.0 M
5/3/2011 5/04/2011 12:00 AM 2 0.03 0.0 M Intense sun probably evaporated some precipitation. Light snow was falling as we departed on 02 May.
5/12/2011 5/23/2011 1:00 PM 12 0.05 0.0 M Most likely had evaporation since center gauge not installed, only cone.
8/5/2011 8/07/2011 1:00 PM 3 0.23 M M
8/8/2011 8/15/2011 3:30 PM 8 0.81 M M Reading is from NWS 8" gauge which normally reads a couple hundreds lower, especially after a week with hot sun bearing on steel cannister. COCORAHS gauge was knocked over by either deer, elk, or less likely, our visiting bear.
