Gauge undercatch was obvious and only amounted to 0.30" of melted precipitation - NSC used for gauge amount. Snowboard buried in a snow drift, so had to get new snow measurements from driveway which was more sheltered from the wind. Very cold this A.M.!
1/6/2014 7:00 AM 0.29 2.7 0.29 11.0 2.01 Snowing on and off throughout the day on 1/5 and very windy during and after snowstorm causing gauge undercatch. New snow core used to report gauge amount - actual gauge reading was 0.01". Reported amounts are educated/average estimates. Highways impassible due to drifting and snow plows do not appear to have been able to remove snow on these roads up to this point. Very cold again.

This morning, on my drive into work, there were massive snow banks (10-12 feet high in some places) on either side of East-West roads. Also saw earth moving equipment with chains on their wheels coming into town from clearing roads in the country. Snow removal crews have been busy!

Noticed today that some spots in snow field have a very hard layer of packed snow and ice from early snowfall and ice that has not melted yet. I had to jamb my snow stick down hard on it to break through to the ground. This may have made my total snowfall measurement that I reported for the last few days falsely low since it was an average of several spots and I thought I had hit the ground on top of this hard precip. layer in some areas. Today's measurement is correct and total snow core measurement was correct (I could see the grass).

1/21/2014 5:30 AM 0.11 1.7 0.11 5.5 M Snow started in early evening and continued overnight. Very windy with much blowing and drifting. Gauge undercatch was obvious and measured 0.05" - new snow core used for this amount. My backyard, normally a good sheltered spot to record new snow, is one huge drift. My snowboard was buried in about 10" of drifted snow, so this measurement was taken from my driveway (about the only sheltered spot on our property). Total snow was obtained by adding new snow to total snow measurement from 1/20. Average measurements from the back yard give me 10" and I know we didn't get that much!

1/27/2014 5:30 AM 0.02 1.5 M 6.0 0.87 Very windy, whiteout conditions in some areas, and thundersnow to our north in evening on 1/26. Very difficult measurements this AM after last nights high, swirling winds blew snowboard clean and all the snow into drifts. Some areas of yard are almost completely bare while there are 12" drifts against some objects. The drifts from earlier snowstorms with winds from a different direction further complicate measurements. Gauge undercatch was obvious but there was no good way to get a more accurate new snow core measurement. Total snow measurement is a lot of averages and new snow measurement is yesterday's total snow subtracted from today's.

2/18/2014 5:30 AM 0.65 5.5 0.65 20.0 4.01 Thundersnow in AM on 2/17. Only measured 3.2" of snow on snowboard after snow stopped on 2/17 with an SWE of 0.38" (actual gauge reading was 0.29"). From the way the wind was blowing and the direction the snow fell, I suspect gauge and snowboard undercatch. Taking averages from around yard revealed an increase of about 5.5" of new snow and seems a more reasonable reading. However, using the snow to water ratio of the earlier readings and adjusting it to 5.5" gives a SWE of 0.65" - seems a little high.

2/21/2014 5:30 AM 1.60 T T 12.0 M Heavy rain on 2/20 caused major pooling of water in peoples yards and on area roads as snow pack prevented adequate run-off. Most of my back yard had from two to six inches of water-saturated slushy snow under normal snow crust on top - you get quite a surprise and a cold, wet foot when you break through trying to walk on top of it! Water over highways and rural roads in several spots yesterday that now has frozen producing very slick patches. Light snow overnight with strong winds that downed some tree branches. We received over 2.5" of rain within 24 hours from overnight on 2/19 to the evening of 2/20.

11/5/2013 11/06/2013 5:30 AM 2 0.53 0.0 M Raining at observation time.
12/8/2013 12/09/2013 7:00 AM 2 0.14 1.5 0.14 Total snow core used for gauge amount since ground was bare before multi-day accumulation started. Actual gauge catch for the period was 0.12" - all precipitation in gauge was snow.
12/14/2013 12/15/2013 7:00 AM 2 0.59 6.5 M Snow started falling in afternoon on 12/13. Away from gauge at normal observation time on 12/14. Arrived home soon after snow stopped falling, on 12/14 around mid-day, so was able to record snowstorm totals: New snow - 5.8"; New snow core - 0.59" (reported above as multi-day amount in gauge - actual gauge measurement was 0.57").
2/8/2014 2/11/2014 5:30 AM 4 0.08 15.0 M Reported precipitation was in the form of snow that was taken from core sample still on snowboard. New snow measured about 1.0" at this time but was probably compacted together as it was supposed to snow on 2/8. Melting probably did not occur as high temperatures the last few days have been very cold. New snow core sample used for gauge amount as actual gauge amount was 0.06".
