12/14/2013 7:00 AM 0.68 8.1 M 8.0 M This was an extremely wet snow, with the boughs of our wild cherry tree bent almost to the ground. Snow had ended sometime before 5 a.m., but resumed before 7 a.m., so it was still snowing when I measured. No wind so snow is falling straight down, almost like rain.

1/15/2014 7:00 AM 0.03 T M 1.0 M It was flurrying at the time I took my measurements. I believe all the precipitation was snow, but it barely covered the snow board.

1/22/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M
1/23/2014 7:00 AM T T M 3.0 M Just enough precip to cover the bottom of the gauge, maybe .005, so close call, but leave it as a trace. Just a skiff of snow on the board; it wasn't completely covered, and what was there wasn't more than 0.1, so, again, a trace. Sure looked like more when it was coming down yesterday.

1/25/2014 7:00 AM 0.04 0.8 M 3.5 M With wind blowing snow around, I had to average the amount on my snowboard which ran from less than 0.5 to over 1.0. There was actually a tiny drift running across the snowboard.
1/26/2014 5:45 AM T T M 3.0 M There were just a few snow pellets falling when I checked the gauge, and few enough to count individually at the bottom of the gauge. So did not get our 1-2 inches....
1/27/2014 7:00 AM T T M 2.0 M Very fine snow was falling at around 6:15 this morning. Just a few drops were in the gauge. While open areas are devoid of snow, in my protected yard, there is still a complete snow cover.

1/31/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.5 M My snow and ice on the ground jumped an inch from yesterday. No, we received no new snow, but an ice layer which had apparently prevented my measuring stick from penetrating all the way to the ground softened yesterday, so that two of my four readings were suddenly considerably deeper.
2/1/2014 7:00 AM 0.34 1.8 M 3.0 M It was raining when I measured, and had been.
2/2/2014 7:00 AM 0.78 0.3 M 2.5 M It's a frozen mess out there, the rain melting some of the snow, then freezing. Hard to say what's snow, what's ice.

2/21/2014 7:00 AM 0.45 M M 4.5 M This fell in a very brief time between approximately 5 and 5:30 p.m. The rain itself wasn't that much, but it liberated half the snow cover (at least in my yard).
2/22/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 4.0 M My front yard is bare, and most of the backyard of my neighbor behind me is bare, but my backyard seems to hang on to the snow much longer.

2/27/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 4.5 M It will look strange that my snow depth went up half an inch when there was no snow yesterday. But the crust underneath the snow softened somewhat yesterday, so my measuring stick hit ground instead of crust at one measuring point. It tipped my average up ever so slightly, but just enough.

3/5/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M I am skeptical that my yard lost 1.5 inches of snow cover yesterday. I think that, in the area of some of my measurements, I can't get through an ice layer to the ground. But 3.0 was my average today, as I could measure.

3/7/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M The cylinder was opaque with frost this morning. As always, while my front yard is snow free, I still have plenty of snow and ice in my back yard where I take my measurements.
3/8/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.5 M The ice softened in one of the areas I measured or my snowpack would have gone down more. My back yard is still 100% snowcovered, my front yard, less than 20%.
