12/6/2013 7:10 AM 0.50 5.8 0.37 5.8 0.37 Storm began as light rain in the early morning hours yesterday, then switched over to freezing rain, then to sleet and finally to snow with a total of 0.10" ice accretion. Precipitation came from the northwest. Snow had stopped by time of this morning's observation. However, the snow was starting back up as I completed my measurements.
12/7/2013 9:35 AM 0.27 2.0 0.27 5.7 0.58 There was a lot of wind with the second band of snow so the gauge catch of 0.01" reflects the poor capture. Decided to go with the melted core value instead. Snow let up in the early evening and I checked snow depth around 10 PM.
12/8/2013 7:45 AM T 0.1 T 4.5 M Light snowfall overnight. Winds were light but steady all night and did not allow an even deposit on the snow board.

1/6/2014 7:30 AM 0.22 5.5 1.25 6.0 M I don't know what to say about this storm. Moderate to heavy snow began around 6:30 AM, and it snowed all day until around 6:30 PM. The wind began around 10:30 AM and it blew all day with gusts around 35 to 40 mph. At around 7:30 PM, I checked the snow board and found 5 to 6 inches of snow. However in areas of the yard, there were places where the grass was not covered due to the winds. I also had drifts that were 2 to 4 feet tall. The gauge catch was very poor due to the high winds, and the SWE for my board core seems way too high for such a light and powdery snow. I can only estimate the total accumulation of snow on the ground since the wind moved the snow around so much. As a result, I could not find an area unaffected by the wind and melt that core.
1/7/2014 6:15 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.5 M Total snow on ground is only an estimate since snow was blown around by the high winds.
1/8/2014 6:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 M Total snow depth is only an estimate. Unable to get an accurate measurement.
1/9/2014 6:30 AM 0.05 0.8 0.05 5.5 M Light snowfall overnight, with a flurry falling here and there during observation. Did not collect core samples but I believe the gauge catch was representative of the new snowfall since there was very little wind.

2/5/2014 8:30 AM 0.35 4.4 0.49 4.0 0.49 Storm came in two rounds. The first round began around midday and ended around 8 PM. This amounted to 3.9" of new snow. With winds blowing strong out of the NE, it was difficult to find an area to get a representive sample of the snowfall since little to no snow accumulated on my snowboard. Then for intermission, a brief round of freezing drizzle coated surfaces with a very light glaze. Beginning around 9 PM, more snow began to fall with an additional 0.5" falling overnight. This had little to no wind with it and I could measure it off my snow board. There were also a few flakes falling around the time of my observation.
