10/28/2012 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Light snow showers overnight. Forget to check gauge prior to 7am and snow had melted in gauge by time I remembered thus I was unable to determine how much snow accumulated. All precip fell prior to scheduled observation time so report time is accurate.
10/29/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warmer, breezy, and partly cloudy. Rapid snow melt occurring as temps rose and held above freezing. About half ground coverage left.

11/16/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Snow continues to melt with highs in the 40's and mostly sunny skies.
11/17/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Temps stayed above freezing all night long facilitating the continued snow melt. Less than 25% ground cover left.

1/6/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M Temps continued above freezing during the day. Mostly clear. Moderate winds picked up in the overnight hours. Due to extended above freezing temps, snow cover has decreased to about 50% coverage. Deepest patches in the shade are 2 inches deep.

Snow did not fall evenly on the ground making accurate ground measurement not possible, however, the gauge was mostly shielded from the effects of the strong wind due to the direction it was coming from. It should provide a reasonable estimate. Ground cover was either minimal where wind didn't let the snow settle and in exposed areas or several inches deep in the drifts.

2/18/2013 5:30 AM 0.25 2.5 0.25 M M Report period begins at 4:30 AM with moderate snow falling. Some snow melted initially due to the warmer temps earlier in the day before and due to temps only being just below freezing. Precipitation tube was unreliable due to wind preventing decent snow capture. Took core samples instead. Average snow depth on ground at observation time was 2.5" with values ranging from 2" to 3". I suspect more snow actually fell but due to melt this is what remained.

Precipitation tube seems to be very close to avg ground measurements. Due to drifting snow cover on ground is uneven.
3/5/2013 7:00 AM T T T M M Light snow showers taped off during the morning with some convection induced flurries mid-afternoon. Cold and partly cloudy. Despite temps remaining below freezing, there was enough sunshine to melt the snow off the roads and where snow did not accumulate more than an inch due to the windy conditions the day before.

Occasional light snow showers fell in the evening hours. Significant accumulation began from around 11pm on and ended before observation time. Snow was light on moisture.
3/20/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cold and partly cloudy to mostly sunny. A little warmer than the day before. Winds began to pick up late evening.
3/21/2013 7:00 AM T M M M M Variable cloudiness during the day. Most snow on ground has melted off due to the winds and temps in the 50's. A cold front arrived shortly after sunset bringing cloudy skies, strong winds, and about 45-60 mins of light rain. Due to the strong winds driving the rain near horizontal at times, was not able to register measurable precipitation in my gauge. No snow fell during the precip event due to remaining above freezing.

It had little moisture left by the time it reached Cut Bank and had dissipated completely about 5-10 miles east of town. It was unfortunate the local radar was down for the day.

6/30/2013 7:00 AM T M M M M Mostly clear and warm. Late evening thunderstorms moved into the area. A couple of reports by a co-worker and a group of storm chasers indicated that a tornado was trying to form on the southern edge of the storm around 9:30pm that lased passed by Cut Bank later just before 11pm. At my obseration location only smattering of large rain drops and pea sized hail fell. Strong winds from the east blew as the storm passed. Since winds rarely come from the east I was thinking maybe a possible tornado was present as well or at least strong circulation resulting in the atypical wind direction(I only heard about the possible tornado sighting Sunday afternoon). Just a house north of my rain gauge was the cut off for significant precipitation with the streets and ground thoroughy wetted by the storm. This places the rain edge roughly 100-300 feet north of 1st Ave NE/NW in Cut Bank.
