due to extreme wind and white out current conditions do not allow me to go out and measure at the moment but from the door it looks like there is 1/2 to 1 inch actually on the ground. the wind is 30+ mph and keeping the snow from sticking. yesterday it was sunny in the morning and cloudy in the afternoon. i was in denver yesterday and watched the clouds and snow flurries move into the mountians west of town. |

monday totals taken from a drift that is 25ft w x 50ft l = at lowest pt went from 2" to 5" melt value .90; 5" to 8" melt value 1.6; 6-8" to 17" at crown melt value 2.5 thi was on the east side of house. in an area on the west side where there was a large area of compressed snow that measured 5 inches of new snow the melt value was 1.04. this is where the guy at noaa seems to think equates to the actual new amount of 7 inches for the total for this snow event. the reason for this is our temps were on the 38 to 40 range all day untill 4:30 when the temp finaly went below 32. at 10am 1/4"; at 11am 1"; at 12pm 2"; at 3pm 3 1/2, at 4:30 5". snow was melting and compressing all day. this morning it was hard to get the yard stick into the top 2 inches. |
