2/13/2012 7:00 AM M 0.1 M 1.6 0.14 24F; NOTE that the SWE reported for today (0.14) is for ONLY 1.6 inches of snow on ground -- I was told by NOAA person some years ago that any SWE measurements for less than 2 inches of snow were inherently inaccurate. SEE yesterday's 2/12/12 measurements at this location for SWE (0.17) for 2+ inches (actually 3.0 in.) of snow on ground.

1/13/2012 1/17/2012 7:00 AM 5 M 2.4 0.27 Left home for several days after measuring snow on 1/12/2012 (I don't measure total precipitation, just snowfall and snow depth, with weekly total snow water equivalents from core samples, as possible) and returned late on 1/16/2012. Measured snow depth (no new snow from previous night) and took core sample next morning, 1/17/2012. Was told by next door neighbor that the snowfalls came on Friday and Saturday.
1/24/2012 1/25/2012 7:00 AM 2 M 0.0 M Trace of new snowfall (32F at 7am) on 1/25/2012.
2/3/2012 2/05/2012 8:55 AM 3 M 0.0 0.00 Left on 2/2/2012 8am, returned on 2/4/2012 8pm. No snow during period away, although Trace of snow in air on 2/2 morning at 8am as was leaving, after reporting at 7am that day.
2/7/2012 2/08/2012 6:30 AM 2 M 0.0 0.00 Away from 7:30am 2/6/12 and returned 6:30pm 2/7/12 to find no evidence of snowfall, although a TRACE of snow was experienced during evening of 2/7/12.
