Was sitting outside at the time. Don't think it was birds. Yesterday H 49, L 44. I think these days are the inspiration for the sad songs.

10/23/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 24; speaking as a country bumpkin there is frost out on that pumpkin. The shrubs that bounced back yesterday during the day are looking pretty dejected this morning. We missed the snow/rain showers. I saw pictures on the news of the counties South of us and they seemed to have a lot of the snowfall. Not as much frost as yesterday morning. Yesterday H 41, L 29.

Still wet this morning and walking on leaves is tricky. It was a nice Autumn morning for a walk. Did take one of the dogs with me though.
11/3/2013 7:00 AM 0.02 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 28, frosty, light fog. Light rain yesterday 11:45, which left everything damp so that this morning everything is frozen. Frost on rooftops and grass is crunchy; the leaves still on bushes and shrubs are stiff. The light fog isn't affecting visibility. Yesterday H 43, L 32.

11/9/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 42 with gusty W winds. It was 38 at 18:30 yesterday and actually went up to 43 a little after midnight. Thought I heard some rain during the night, but when I went out to check it was the wind blowing the leaves and the tree branches against the house. According to my records our first measurable snowfall last year was Dec. 8th. Yesterday H 42, L 24.

11/12/2013 7:00 AM 0.09 0.5 0.11 T T temperature is 18. Rain started with light sprinkles around 10:00, then 'snowy' rain 11:17 yesterday, turning to snow around noon and ending 15:25 or so. These were fat, wet flakes first, then light snow later on. Put snowboard out yesterday morning, just in case. Tried to measure depth of total snow this morning, but snow on top of leaves and couldn't get accurate measurement because different depths of leaves. Also, about 1/3 of yard is bare of snow. So did the best I could think of and used T for trace. Yesterday H 42, L 25. Cool 'hazy' moon last night.
11/13/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T T temperature is 16 at 07:00. Still some snow on ground and branches, roofs, ice on some cars still.
11/14/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T T temperature is 26, breezy. Yesterday was sunny but with a strong gusty W wind it was darn cold. Still some snow about, mainly on places that don't get much sunshine. Ice here and there; have to keep your wits about you when walking. Yesterday H 35, L 16.
11/15/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 30, althought it was 36 at 04:30. Yesterday was partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Again a gorgeous full moon in the E sky in the evening, but in the W sky early morning looked sort of like a hanging lamp. All the snow and/or ice is gone now. Leaves are still here. Yesterday H 43, L 26.
11/16/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 41, foggy, misty, light breeze from the South. Couldn't decide if we have a light drizzle or fog residue outside. Leaves on ground, tops of garbage cans, my glasses were all wet when I went walking; however, nothing in gauge, only condensation on outside. Also, only felt moisture when walking under trees, not out in open. Using 0.00 because not sure what to put down. Yesterday H 50, L 30.
11/17/2013 6:30 AM 0.04 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 temp. is 53. Everything still as though we were waiting for something. Lots of rain in Cary yesterday, but when I got home hardly anything here. Just damp and zero in gauge. Radar this morning showed rain/srorm overhead around 5:00 a.m., but couldn't find them when I went out. Just a drizzle. Will be glad when today is over.
11/18/2013 7:00 AM 1.51 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 30, windy, overcast. Yesterday extremely windy, lots of rain most of it wind-driven so a lot didn't make it into gauge. Thunder, lightning off and on during day;small hail (less than rice-sized) for about 5 seconds around 11:35. Flooding (minor) at intersections, rooster-tails galore, internet down, cell phone useless, normal for electronics in bad weather. Was driving home yesterday morning and turned W on Route 173 about 10:00 a.m.; very difficult as windy conditions and heavy rain made it hard to stay on and see the road. Was very glad to get home. Rain totals: 10:15, 0.58; 12:30, 0.61; 14:00, 0.20; 17:30, 0.12; 07:00 today, 0.00. Other than minor flooding, no major damage. Some small branches down. Very lucky. Yesterday H 60, L 40.

11/22/2013 7:00 AM 0.03 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 31, down from 36 at midnight and 34 at 04:30. Heading home after an early morning walk at 06:30, was hit by 'icy pellets'; otherwise just drizzle. Light drizzle yesterday around 16:30; light rain around 04:30 this morning. No slush or sleet, except for the pellets for about five minutes. Now oevercast and windy. Yesterday H 42, L 36
11/23/2013 7:00 AM T 0.1 T T T temperature is 20, heavy cloud bank, blustery N winds. Earlier temperature still 20, but bright half-moon and stars, no wind. Had a flurry of flurries 08:30 to 08:40. Fluffly flakes measured to first tenth, but melted down to under 0.01. Flakes faded away from ground by 10:30. Remainder of day partly sunny. This morning hard white ice in birdbath. Yesterday H 36, L 23.
11/24/2013 7:00 AM T T T 0.0 0.00 temperature is 9, sunny. Everything outside creaks. Again, between 08:30 and 08:47, snow flurries, almost looked like a blizzard for a couple of minutes. But snow didn't measure to one-tenth, and melted resulted in hardly anything. Gusty N winds kept blowing the snow around in clumps here and there. The birds were eating it, probably because I couldn't thaw out the birdbath for more than five minutes at a time. Yesterday H 22, L 12.
11/25/2013 7:00 AM 0.01 0.1 0.02 0.1 0.02 temperature is 21, cloudy right now, windy. Snow started around 06:20, ended at 06:50, but more on the way. Not the friendly, fat flakes, but mean, wind-driven, hard-hitting snow, swirling in gusty winds. Measure of snow on ground varied from under 0.1 to 0.3, depending, so averaged it out and melted the average. Yesterday H 26, L 9. Neither the car nor I wanted to start today.
11/26/2013 7:00 AM 0.04 0.8 0.08 0.5 0.06 temperature is 25, cloudy, and NO wind!!! Yesterday gusty winds with more gusts; snowed starting around 08:50, ending around 11:50. Strong winds swirled snow around; was pretty...pretty hard to drive in and walk in, but pretty to look at out the window. Yesterday H 26, L 19
11/27/2013 7:00 AM 0.03 0.2 0.01 0.5 0.04 temperature is 8. Flurries started around 14:30 stopped by 17:00. Stars and quarter moon last night. Yesterday H 28, L 13.
11/28/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T 0.01 temperature is 20, cloudy. We still have snow about, but measured between 0.1 and 0.2, with bare spots in yard. I used T for total snow but 0.1 mltd gave me 0.01. Still have mounds of snow from street plowing and shoveling. No snow overnight, although it was forecast. Zilch (technical term) in gauge. Yesterday H 25, L 8. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
11/29/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T T temperature is 10, quarter moon still visible, pink sunrise. Still stuffed from yesterday. Streets that weren't plowed have now turned icy; makes walking an adventure. Still snow about but not measureable for a report. Lots of stars visible last night, some twinkling. Yesterday H 25, L 16.
11/30/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T T temperature is 25, cloudy. Still snow about although more of yard is now bare. Yesterday H 32, L 10.
12/1/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T T temperature is 27, cloudy, feels damp. Most of the snow is now gone; only about a teaspoonful here and there. Still ice on some roads and parking lots. Yesterday H 42 (!!); L 24. Nov: precip. 3.06; avg. H 40; avg. L 26.
12/2/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 temperature is 24, cloudy. All the snow is now gone from the yard; the only white spot is the snowboard. Frost on outside of gauge. Yesterday H 39, L 30.
12/3/2013 7:00 AM 0.05 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 33, fine mist/drizzle, foggy. Dense fog since 06:00 (SWR filed). Precip 0.04 from earlier rain; 0.01 from rain right before observation time. A kind of 'slush' on deck at midnight-thirty, gone by 04:30. Yesterday H 38, L 24.
12/4/2013 7:00 AM 0.02 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 40, still foggy. Had some annoying drizzle late yesterday afternoon and again early this morning. Between the fog and the drizzle it was very hard to see. There is an occasional NE breeze that swirls the fog. Everything looks erie and the lights, instead of shining, just glow through the fog. Lots of mud about now too. Yesterday H 38, L 31.
12/5/2013 7:00 AM 0.03 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 24 and WINDY. Precipitation is from 0.02 at 17:00 yesterday and small amount of ice in gauge this morning, 0.01. Yesterday foggy off and on; drizzle when it wasn't foggy. Yesterday H 46, L 30.

12/7/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 5. Everything creaks. It's so cold the birds and squirrels aren't up yet. Yesterday H 18, L 10.
12/8/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M temperature is 11, NE breeze. Radar showed dire things coming our way around 06:30 this morning, but outside is clear. Quarter-moon again last night and early this morning. Yesterday H 18, L 5.
12/9/2013 7:00 AM 0.32 2.3 0.22 3.0 0.28 temperature is 13. Snow is sparkling and fluffy. Still some slick spots on sidewalks and streets. Yesterday H 25, L 10.
12/10/2013 7:00 AM T T T 2.5 0.28 temperature is -1, up from -4 at 04:30. Brrrrrr. Have hither and yon flurries; nothing on snowboard and nothing in gauge. Actual measurement of total depth yesterday morning 3.1 inches; today 2.5 inches but melted amount still the same. Yesterday H 18, L 4. Temperature dropped right after midnight-thirty.
12/11/2013 7:00 AM 0.07 0.8 0.10 2.0 0.24 temperature is 12. Snow stopped around 06:20. Thank God it wasn't as bad as forecast made it seem. Total snow depth is actualy 1.9. Yesterday H 21, L -4.
12/12/2013 7:00 AM 0.01 0.1 0.01 2.0 0.20 temperature is -4, up from -6 at 04:30. Had a little more snow from 09:50 to 10:20 yesterday morning. Pink sunrise this morning. Yesterday's snowfall not as bad as forecast; driving was pretty good. Took total depth measurement from side yard as dogs have made a mess of back yard. Yesterday H 18, L -3.
12/13/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.0 0.26 heat wave!! temperature is 12 above. Yesterday partly sunny, no flurries. Last night moon shining behind the clouds, a few stars out. Yesterday H 16, L -4. Farmer's Almanac said this winter would be mild; could be true since we're still in Autumn.
12/14/2013 7:00 AM 0.02 0.2 0.02 1.5 0.22 temperature is 24. Still snowing, a 'biting'snow more than a fluffy snow. The dogs act as though they have never seen snow before, running all over the back yard, making it useless for measuring. I'm taking the total snow depth from the side yard. There is one spot next to the garage where the snow is iced over; would have had to chisel it out, so chose another spot where the snow wasn't so icy. Actual total snow depth is 1.7. Yesterday H 30 !!, L 10. With all the '2's in the measurements this morning, maybe I should place a wager.
12/15/2013 7:00 AM 0.02 0.4 0.06 1.5 0.17 temperature is 10 with a West wind. There is a reddish/purplish sunrise this morning. Full moon behind the clouds last night. Yesterday H 30, L 21.
12/16/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.0 0.13 temperature is zero. No snow overnight, but a full bright moon that the clouds couldn't dim. Sunny for a while yesterday. Actual snow depth is 1.1. Yesterday H 16, L 6
12/17/2013 7:00 AM 0.14 1.5 0.18 3.0 0.48 temperature is 15, cloudy, West windy. Just started snowing after I checked on gauge. The new snowfall total is from yesterday afternoon/evening. Snow still on tree branches and power lines. Actual depth of total snow is 3.1. Yesterday H 14, L 0.
12/18/2013 7:00 AM T 0.1 0.01 3.0 0.41 temperature is 10, cloudy, still a full moon. Yesterday snowed from 07:03 to 07:40, resulting in the grand total of 0.1. Gauge had perhaps two snowflakes and a smidge (another technical term) of ice; both melted down to less than 0.01. We still have a lot of snow on the ground. A lot of melting on roofs; realized that the gutter along the South side of the house needs to be cleaned out. Oh Joy. Yesterday H 30, L 13.
12/19/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.5 0.19 temperature is 20. Another purple sunrise, with the moon still visible in the West sky. Four different forecasts give snow total for Sunday anywhere from 4 inches to 12 inches, but all agree on freezing rain and freezing drizzle off and on from late tonight through Sunday. Hope the power lines and tree branches hold up!! Yesterday H 33, L 10.
12/20/2013 7:00 AM 0.09 0.0 0.00 1.0 0.66 temperature is halfway between 27 and 28. Freezing drizzle/rain finally stopped here, at least for now. It was an adventure going to get the gauge this morning! Pine needles and tree branches have a coating of ice and are bent down under the weight. Power lines stiff with ice. Cut through ice to measure (not as easy as it looked) and it is much less than one-tenth of an inch; it barely made it over the bottom of the yardstick. Causing an awful lot of trouble though. The freezing rain/drizzle mashed most of the snow still on the ground. Actual measurement 0.8. Yesterday H 34, L 20.
12/21/2013 7:00 AM 0.10 0.0 0.00 0.5 0.41 temperature is 23, foggy. Lots of ice makes walking tricky. Also seems to be a 'sheen' of water on top of the ice on top of the snow. Some icy snows seems to be melting while others are not. Ice measured 0.1 at 17:30 yesterday. Yesterday H 29, L 24. Actual snow depth is 0.7.
12/22/2013 7:00 AM 0.20 1.4 0.36 1.5 0.63 temperature is 26, still snowing. Snow is a 'rainy' snow that feels more like rain but definitely looks like snow. Easier to walk on this morning. Snow started sometime after 10:30 p.m. last night, as a gritty snow. Tree branches weighted down with ice from yesterday and wet snow now. Total snow includes ice and actual measurement is 1.7. Yesterday H 26, L 23.
12/23/2013 7:00 AM 0.35 3.5 0.58 5.0 0.73 temperature is 15. Between 7:00 and 8:00 yesterday morning 3 inches of snow fell (included in this morning's total). Did do a SWR (NOAA). Another 0.2 inches before 10:00, and then flurries off and on. Snowing a little heavier around midnight. Total snow anywhere from 4.5 to 6.0; averaged. Yesterday H 26, L 20.
12/24/2013 7:00 AM T T T 5.0 0.57 temperature is -7, cloudy. We had a few flurries yesterday but no accumulation. Venus (?) still visible in high West sky. Yesterday H 20, L -1.
12/25/2013 7:00 AM 0.01 0.1 T 4.5 0.62 temperature is 15 ABOVE!! Instead of 1-3 inches of fluffly snow, we received 0.1 inch of 'grainy' snow. Had a bout of snow after 20:00 and before midnight; nothing since. We still have 4.7 inches of snow on the ground, not counting the mounds of plowed and shoveled snow. Yesterday H 10, L -7. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
12/26/2013 7:00 AM 0.03 0.7 0.08 4.5 0.74 temperature is 12; quarter moon still visible otherwise cloudy. Didn't have the 1 to 3 inches of new snow forecast but just enough to make driving and/or walking tricky. Lots of ice/compacted snow at ground level under snow covering. In the ongoing competition between weathermen/women and Mother Nature, Mother Nature keeps winning. Yesterday H 24, L 12.
12/27/2013 7:00 AM T 0.1 0.01 4.5 0.94 temperature is 14 and very foggy, but can still see the quarter moon. A large chunk of ice included in total snow. There is a lot of ice under the snow pack. New snowfall slightly more than a dusting and only a few grains in gauge which melted down to just a drop of moisture. Yesterday H 26, L 8.
12/28/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.0 0.66 temperature is 24. Fog most of the day yesterday but turned partly sunny by noon. Actual snow total is 3.2; a lot of the regular snow cover melted off but the higher mounds are still there. Yesterday H 32, L 14.
12/29/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.0 0.58 temp. is 28, breezy winds from the North. Actual snow depth is 2.8. Yesterday H 39, L 24.
12/30/2013 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 2.5 0.99 temperature is -5, cloudy. Total snow/ice is...ice. Top is hard-packed snow from melting and refreezing, and remainder is thick ice. Had to chop it out of the ground. We had a short spell of freezing drizzle, but no snow. Actual snow depth is 2.7 inches. Yesterday H 30 (at 02:00), L 5 (before midnight).
12/31/2013 7:00 AM 0.04 0.5 0.05 3.0 0.95 Temp. is -5. Total snow actual is 3.1. Used crowbar this morning to chop out core. What fun this winter is turning out to be! Yesterday H 6, L -6.
1/1/2014 7:00 AM 0.25 4.3 0.26 8.3 1.82 temperature is 4 above. Stopped snowing last night 23:40; flurries started again this morning 06:40. Now snowing a little harder. Yeah!? HAPPY NEW YEAR!
1/2/2014 7:00 AM 0.18 2.5 0.25 11.1 2.55 temperature is 6. Total snow is approx. 9 inches snow and approx. 2 inches ice. Supposed to have below zero temperatures for a few days. Global warming? Yesterday H 18, L 4.
1/3/2014 7:00 AM T T T 11.0 2.62 temperature is -14. T is for flurries yesterday. Flurries didn't amount to measureable minimums. Total snow actual is 10.9. This snow is not the fluffy, happy kind but the crunchy kind. Yesterday H 14, L -1.
1/4/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 10.5 2.39 temperature is 20. Very windy with BT gusts; snow was redistributed. Took 5 measurements, averaged 10.5, so took core from 10.5. Looking outside though looks like a lot more than 10.5!! Especially when one is shoveling the snow. Had flickering lights yesterday about 3:00 p.m for about half an hour, but the electric stayed on and the furnace kept working. Life is good. Yesterday H 14, L -14. (p.s. BT stands for big time; technical term)
1/5/2014 7:00 AM 0.14 2.0 0.26 13.0 4.06 temperature is 11. It takes a long time to melt this total snow/ice core. Mother Nature is extremely generous this winter. Yesterday H 26, L 16.
1/6/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 12.0 3.96 temperature is -18. It is COLD. Wind is now from the West, having been from the NE all day yesterday and the NW overnight. I think the snow on the ground is now freeze-dried. Radar kept showing snow overhead, but we didn't have any new snowfall. Actual total snow/ice is 11.8. It's too packed now to blow around. Yesterday H 12, L -8.
1/7/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 10.0 1.74 temperature is -15; hasn't really moved much since 7:30 p.m. last night. At least the wind has calmed; no more gusts either. Yesterday H -13, L -18. Yikes!!
1/8/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 10.0 1.69 temperature is -10. Half-moon out again last night; cloudy this morning. Yesterday H 4, L -15.
1/9/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 10.0 1.71 temp.is -9. Moon out earlier. Yesterday H 11, L -10. Total snow/ice is 9.8.
1/10/2014 7:00 AM T T T 9.5 1.69 temperature is 28, with foggy conditions. We had a few flurries yesterday; not enough to measure. I'm not sure if we're having on and off drizzle now; it sounds like it but I can't find evidence of it. Still having some leaves falling off the Walnut trees. And this morning my hands/fingers weren't freezing when I went out to measure! Actual total snow/ice is 9.6. Not sure where the snow is going. Yesterday H 21, L -10.
1/11/2014 7:00 AM 0.76 0.0 0.00 7.5 2.44 temperature is 30; has been holding steady at 32 since 18:00 yesterday but went down to 30 around 05:00. Never did rise to the giddy height of 36 degrees as forecast. Yesterday icy walking; wanted to get a sharp mountain-climbing stick and sing "Valderi". Today is a different kind of slippery walking. Snow is so wet when you step on it it squeezes itself down and freezes. More of a frozen slushy. Now I just want to crawl so I don't fall. Ice on roads with a thin layer of water on top, not to mention in front of the garage. Quite an ice rink when I went to feed the birds. No new snow; all precipitation was rain. Yesterday H 32, L 24.
1/12/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 4.0 1.91 temperature is 26. Everything frozen this morning. Dog tracks, squirrel tracks, even bird tracks frozen in the snow/ice. Especially the garage door. Everything that melted yesterday has frozen by this morning. I can hardly wait to see what else Mother Nature has in store for us this season. Yesterday H 32, L 26.
1/13/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.0 1.86 temperature is 29. There was condensation on the outside of the gauge. Snow is pretty hard-packed and icy on top. Took two core samples because I thought the SWE was too high. But both came out close, so I'm going with the total. Full moon with shaved edges and the 'man-in-the-moon' face last night and even early this morning. Yesterday H 36, L 24.
1/14/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.0 1.79 temperature is 24. No snow yet. The snow that was supposed to be here by 2 a.m.; then 4 a.m.; then 6 a.m.; is coming, not at 8 a.m., but 9 a.m. Love those accurate weather forecasts!! Total snow is layers of ice, snow, ice, snow; you get the picture. Roads aren't bad, but sidewalks and yards are difficult to walk on. While I was hanging on to the fence walking out to my garage, I saw a young adult just be-bopping along the (icy) side road and I thought, 'wow, the confidence of youth!'. Yesterday H 38, L 26. Full moon again last night; pale blue sunrise this morning.
1/15/2014 7:00 AM 0.03 0.5 0.07 3.0 1.73 temperature is 8. After shoveling out our massive snowfall of 0.3 in the morning, I was ready for our late afternoon/evening snowfall of 0.2. This was the snow that was blowing around. The snow already on the ground is too hard to blow around anymore. Very strong winds yesterday until 09:30 p.m., when they became breezy instead of gusty. Full, bright moon last night and early this morning. Yesterday H 30, L 20.
1/16/2014 7:00 AM 0.01 0.1 0.02 3.0 1.68 temperature is 22 and windy from the S/SW. Yesterday hither and yon flurries during the late morning and some light snow overnight. Total snow/ice is pretty much ice. Yesterday morning the snow actually sparkled. Today it just looks frozen. Yesterday H 20, L 8.
1/17/2014 7:00 AM 0.04 0.4 0.08 3.0 1.73 temperature is 8, windy. A little ice at bottom of gauge. Flurries and light snow from about 10:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m.; 0.03 inches of snow then. Remaining 0.1 overnight. Total snow/ice has been hovering around 2.8/2.9/3.0, even with the new (small) amounts of snow. Seriously thinking of getting a jackhammer for tomorrow's core. Using the crowbar to pry out this ice-pack is getting harder. Will we really get the 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow? Or another 1/2 inch as on the 14th? Anticipation heightens. Yesterday H 32, L 14.
1/18/2014 7:00 AM 0.01 0.6 0.02 3.0 1.76 temperature is 4. Took total snow/ice core at 06:30 because it takes so long to melt and measure. Looks like we might actually get snow this morning. Not snowing now. Total snow/ice is 3.2. Yesterday H 16, L 8.
1/19/2014 7:00 AM 0.14 2.1 0.14 5.0 1.57 temperature is 10, up from 4 earlier. Took total snow/ice from different part of yard. This part of yard seems to have more snow and less ice and was easier to get the core from. It also has less SWE. Snowfall yesterday: 'rainy' snow 11:00, then snowing by 13:00, big, fat snowflakes; lighter snow 16:00, then back to 'rainy' snow. Totals: 13:30, 0.5; 14:30, 1.0; 16:00, 0.4; 17:00 0.2; for a total of 2.1 inches. No wind; snow fell straight down. Snow stopped by 17:00. Yesterday H 20, L 4.
1/20/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 4.5 1.28 temperature is 26, cloudy. Was shoveling yesterday for about five minutes before I realized I was shoveling into the wind; wasn't the brightest bulb, must have been a compact fluorescent. Shoveling with the wind made it easier. A lot of the snow was blown into drifts against houses, trees, bushes, etc. Yesterday H 30, L 10.
1/21/2014 7:00 AM 0.08 0.9 0.10 4.0 1.32 temperature is -3. Some snow melted yesterday; last night's snow is the kind that crunches when you walk on it. Moon this morning brightened the whole sky. Snow was off and on yesterday. Yesterday H 34, L 4.
1/22/2014 7:00 AM T T T 3.5 0.79 temperature is 2. A little snow earlier resulted in T, not enough to measure. Actual total snow is 3.3. Yesterday turned sunny, which was nice although still cold. Yesterday H 7, L -3.
1/23/2014 7:00 AM 0.03 0.4 0.06 3.5 0.83 temperature is -6. Yesterday's off and on snow was of the rainy, gritty kind. A short-lived (about 10 minutes) blizzard at 15:35, with fluffy flurries and strong W/NW winds. Tried to hunt those flurries down, but they were too fast for me. Yesterday H 15, L -3.
1/24/2014 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.0 0.71 temperature is -9. Have to send in report a little early this morning. It turned sunny yesterday. This snow is much easier to walk on. Yesterday H 8, L -6.
1/25/2014 7:00 AM 0.05 0.5 0.16 3.0 1.16 temperature is 20, down from 24 at 05:00. Extremely windy yesterday; didn't really start snowing until around 22:15, even though radar showed something over us around 21:00. (I was outside and I know.) Measured for new snow on both snowboard and sidewalk in front of house, which is protected from winds by house and large bushes on either side, just to be sure because of the strong, gusty winds. Just a gentle breeze right now. Yesterday H 22, L -9.
1/26/2014 7:00 AM 0.13 2.2 0.21 6.0 1.26 temperature is 6. Started snowing sometime after 11:00 p.m. last night; don't know exactly when. Stopped this morning around 06:00. Less ice at bottom of total core.. Light SE breeze at the moment. Lots of stars out last night. Yesterday H 24, L 5.
1/27/2014 7:00 AM 0.01 T T 6.0 1.35 temperature is -5. I really don't know if it snowed last night or we had just wind-driven snow from the ground. We had flurries around 11:00 a.m., so I'm using T for those. I kept going outside to see if we were having any new snow last night. While the wind was blowing flurries were everywhere, but when the wind died down for a time, so did the flurries. No snow when the wind didn't blow, so to speak. !/4 moon out last night. Yesterday H 30, L 2.
1/28/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 6.0 1.29 temperature is -16, with hardly any wind. Yesterday sunny but cold. Lots of stars out overnight. Planes were flying low last night. Yesterday H -2, L-10.
1/29/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 6.0 1.06 temperature is -5. Yesterday turned sunny, although cold. Not as many birds came by as before. Yesterday H 2, L -16.
1/30/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 5.5 1.08 temperature is 18. Angry red sky this morning. Total snow SWE higher probably because I dug out more ice than yesterday. Forgot crowbar yesterday; used crowbar this morning. Speaking of crows, my regular three crows back again, they like peanuts. Took core at 06:30 this morning since no new snow. Venus (I think) bright in East sky last night. Yesterday H 21, L -5.
1/31/2014 7:00 AM 0.03 0.6 0.07 6.0 1.35 temperature is 10. Yesterday flurries at 11:52; started snowing 12:30; by 13:00 0.1 inch of snow; by 13:30 another 0.5 inches of snow. Snow ended soon after; only T at 14:30. Wind died down by 18:00. Quite exciting there for a while. Yesterday H 25, L 17. Hope MA-1 is OK. (According to the news Yahoo has been hacked; be carefull with your e-mail.)
2/1/2014 7:00 AM 0.16 1.9 0.22 7.0 1.67 temperature is 14. By 01:30, we had 0.4 inches of snow; by 5:30, another 1.0; by 07:00, another 0.5. Still snowing, but no wind, so no drifting or blowing of snow. For some reason there are a lot of "finger-tip" size branches down from the pine trees. Looks like a long day ahead. Yesterday H 20, L 10.
2/2/2014 7:00 AM 0.09 0.9 0.12 9.5 1.47 temperature is 4. Stopped snowing around 10:49 and we had just medium to light flurries through 16:00 when they finally stopped. Total snow ranges from 8 inches to 14 inches, not counting drifts that measure 14 to 26 inches and not to mention shoveled mounds about 3 to 4 feet tall and plowed mounds 5 to 6 feet tall. I wonder what's going to happen when all this starts to melt. Yesterday H 25, L 12.
2/3/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 9.5 1.53 temperature is -10. Had a chunk of ice at bottom of total snow core; I think the snow is freeze-dried. Yesterday H 20, L -4 Congratulations Seahawks!!
2/4/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 9.5 1.62 temperature is 4. Yesterday was sunny; 1/4 moon out last night but gone by early this morning. Cloudy right now. Electric out for a short time this morning around 05:10. Took internet a while to load; I guess you can get bs from a buffalo (or is Frank a bison?). Yesterday H 18, L -10.
2/5/2014 7:00 AM 0.14 2.0 0.29 12.0 2.05 temperature is 15. Snow seems to have pretty much ended and the winds have come up, now from the N/NW instead of NE. When taking core of total thought I had already gone to ground and shoved crowbar in harder than I meant to. Brought up a few large chunks of ice and some more snow. Doesn't look as though we'll run out of snow anytime soon. Yesterday only flurries till 21:00; next time I checked was 03:30 this morning, had 1.6 new snow; at 07:00 another 0.4, total of 2.0 inches. Yesterday H 21, L 1.
2/6/2014 7:00 AM 0.01 0.2 0.02 12.0 2.00 temperature is -7. Moon out last night. Had a few flurries off and on yesterday, even though it was sunny for most of the day. Yesterday had a sign that Spring will come - flower and seed catalogues came in the mail! Yippee!!! Yesterday H 21, L 9.
2/7/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 11.0 1.96 temperature is -7. Lost an inch of total old snow somewhere. It was sunny yesterday, which improved the spirit if not the cold. Next week's weather same ole', same ole'. Yesterday H 4, L -7.
2/8/2014 7:00 AM 0.03 0.5 0.04 11.0 1.98 temperature is 4. Light snow since 04:00 or thereabouts. Just when the roads were getting easier to travel on. Yesterday H 13, L -7.
2/9/2014 7:00 AM 0.07 1.4 0.09 12.5 2.53 temperature is 2. Snow sparkled yesterday and during the night. Half-moon out last night. Yesterday H 16, L 4.
2/10/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 12.0 2.47 temperature is -10. Yesterday snow kept falling off the trees. Thought at first it was flurrying. Higher snow mounds everywhere. Any chance we could ship this snow to California? Yesterday H 20, L 0.
2/11/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 12.0 2.49 temperature is -11. Yesterday another sunny day. Gorgeous full moon this morning directly across in the West sky; looked almost full last night but with a side 'shaved' off, and a sprinkling of stars. Yesterday H 12, L -10.
2/12/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 11.5 2.17 temperature is -2. Yesterday another sunny day. Last night another bright full moon. Yesterday H 20, L -11.

2/14/2014 7:00 AM 0.04 0.3 0.05 10.0 2.01 temperature is 5. Dark red sky with the sun rising. A lot of the snow melted yesterday and went right into the basement. There are leaks I didn't know it was possible to have leaks. If the house is still standing after all this melting I'll be surprised. If I'm still standing I'll be even more surprised. Flurries yesterday 09:45 followed by a brief spurt of light snow; then flurries, another round of light snow: all ending 12:25. Yesterday H 27, L 11.
2/15/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 10.0 2.09 temperature is -1. Full moon last night and this morning. Snow is getting harder-packed, if that's possible. Keep walking into a tree branch in the yard that I would be walking under if the snow wasn't so high. You'd think I'd remember to duck. Yesterday H 25, L 5.
2/16/2014 7:00 AM 0.01 0.1 0.02 10.0 1.96 temperature is 12. Snow started yesterday, not at 2:00 p.m, but at 6:18 p.m. By 8:00 p.m. we had 0.1 inches of snow; snow ended 9:00 p.m., with an additional T of snow. Sort of a non-event. Yesterday H 21, L -1.
2/17/2014 7:00 AM T T T 10.0 2.31 temperature is 20, wind from the SE. Had a little bit of snow earlier this morning. Total snow is 9 inches of snow and 1 inch of ice underneath. I thought it would have melted down more by now, but it's pretty cold at ground level. Last night great view of stars. Yesterday H 32, L 12
2/18/2014 7:00 AM 0.24 2.3 0.27 11.5 2.68 temperature is 12. Snow started yesterday around 11:00 with light flurries; strong, gusty SE winds. Winds died down around 13:00, snow stopped by 17:30. Amounts: 12:00, 0.4; 13:00, 0.5; 14:00, 0.6; 15:00, 0.5; 17:30, 0.3; total of 2.3 inches. Yesterday H 26, L 20. Warming up again today; let the water leaks begin!!
2/19/2014 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 8.0 2.87 temperature is 24. There were one or two drops in the gauge this morning, but I really don't know where they came from. Total snow melted away. Last night snow soft and granular; this morning hard and crunchy. Still a lot of ice underneath. Three-quarter moon still out. Yesterday H 42, L 12.
2/20/2014 7:00 AM 0.36 0.4 0.32 6.5 2.77 temperature is 30, nothing falling right now but drippy under trees. Temperature was 32 earlier, so we had a rainy-slushy precipitation, then wet, heavy snow, now a 'dry' period. Spent the last two days digging out the downspouts so the sun would hit them and cleasring out the ice still in them. A couple of roof/wall leaks; but not too bad. Yesterday H 42, L 24
2/21/2014 7:00 AM 0.30 T T 6.0 2.81 temperature is 19. Never reached 46 degrees yesterday, which was forecast. Held between 32 and 33 most of day until 18:24, when thunder, lightning, and fog moved in. Dense fog. The lightning was something in the fog. Back down to 33 by 20:00. Took gauge total last night at 20:00, rain = 0.29. Snowing (light) this morning but unable to measure as I can't run fast enough after it; very windy. However, snow that was in the gauge melted down to 0.01. Using T for new snow. Total snow is now ice on top and at ground level. Used hammer and crowbar to get core. Slippery; hard ice and rocky walking. Was windy most of the day yesterday but really strong gusty winds by 19:30. Thank God power lines still up. Lots of small branches down, but no large ones. Fingers crossed. Yesterday H 38, L 30.
2/22/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 6.0 2.79 temperature is 13, with a bright sunrise, more golden than anything else. AND it's not windy!!!! Yesterday H 32, L 19.
2/23/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 5.0 2.63 temperature is 10. Snow has a 'sheen' of ice on top, ice in the middle, ice at ground level. Roof still has snow and ice; not as much as before, but still hanging on. Last night gorgeous starry night. Yesterday H 35, L 13.
2/24/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 5.0 2.57 temp. is 6. Snow is ice-covered and hard ice in substance. Difficult walking on. Yesterday H 25, L 10.
2/25/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 5.0 2.45 temp. is 8. Yesterday sunny in the morning, turning cloudy in the afternoon. Yesterday H 21, L 6.
2/26/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 4.5 2.32 temperature is -5. The sun is warm enough during the day to start melting the top of the snow and the groups of ice/snow; then it all re-freezes during the night, making it really very difficult to walk on. The streets are still, for the most part, clear, but the sidewalks and ground are either rough and icy or smooth and icy. Yesterday H 19, L 4.
2/27/2014 7:00 AM T T T 3.5 2.17 temperature is 0. There was a dusting of snow before 02:00. A lot of the hard-packed snow is disappearing; melting away or packing harder? Yesterday H 10, L -5.
2/28/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.5 2.11 temperature is -3. Old snow/ice is heavy. Also rock-hard. Quite a few crows around this morning. We also have an opossum who's started coming around the yard next door on a regular basis. Yesterday H 9, L -1.
3/1/2014 7:00 AM 0.10 1.1 0.11 3.5 2.16 temperature is 15, with a NE wind. Snowed after 22:30 yesterday and before 04:30 this morning. Still have 4 and 5 foot snowpiles.
