11/12/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M 37 and gray. Drippy. About 50 % of the ground has some snow.
11/18/2013 7:00 AM 0.03 0.7 M 0.5 M 31 and cloudy. Clear last night. The water content from late afternoon yesterday probably should be added to todays to get the water content from that particular snowfall.
11/19/2013 7:00 AM 0.37 M M M M 33 and partly cloudy. Rained heavily last night. Snow level looks to be around 4000 ft. Our snow is gone except in a few patches.

12/24/2013 7:00 AM 0.06 0.8 M 3.0 M 25 and clear. For about an hour yesterday we had the small intense snowstorm that gave us almost an inch, the temp was 25.. and then the temp shot up to 34 and the NW wind gusted around the ridge blowing the new snow about.
12/25/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M 16 and clear This year has the lowest snow pack in the 23 years I have been compiling the data. Average is 21 in for Dec. 25

12/28/2013 7:00 AM 0.05 0.9 M 3.5 M 28 and clear. The small snow storm again went through in about an hour. Then the temp went from 26 to 33 and it got windy. By 8 pm still warm but the wind had stopped.

1/1/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M 26 and clear. Yesterday's Chinook brought temps up to 42. A lot of melting and thus ICE. Weird weather for Dec. and Jan.
1/2/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M 26 and cloudy. Got up to 34 or so yesterday... snow going away.
1/3/2014 7:00 AM 0.05 0.5 M 2.5 M 30, partly cloudy and windy. It snowed during the night and then the wind increased and blew it into nano drifts. The lack of snow and lack of the near possibility of future snow is worrisome.
1/4/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M 25 and clear
1/5/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M 18 and clear. My snow measuring area is mostly south facing and thus the T is lower than if we were facing north. North side has around 5 in.

2/9/2014 7:00 AM 0.08 3.0 M 12.0 M 13 and snowing about 1 in. of new. A total of 3 in. of snow by 1:30 pm. Recorded the amount from that time. As temps went up it compacted down a lot.
2/10/2014 7:00 AM 0.04 T M 14.0 1.62 15 and starting to snow at 7 am. Total snow depth is hard to measure since it is so very variable. The core melt is a 12 in.core from a 13.5 in. spot.
2/11/2014 7:00 AM 0.60 10.5 0.66 23.6 M Finally snow. 14 and mostly clear. Snow over the top of the gauge. Total snow was measured in spots on front of the house and on a deck... Still a big variation but those spots will be where I measure from now on and that is where the total snow melt core is taken, every Mon.
2/12/2014 7:00 AM 0.45 3.8 M 25.0 M 27 and cloudy. Snow started around 9 pm and stopped sometime during the night. Heavy snow unlike yesterdays.
2/13/2014 7:00 AM 0.35 7.0 M 27.5 M 30 and snowing hard. There was 5.5 in. new snow at 7 am, when the gauge was melted. It stopped snowing around 10:00 am with at total of 7 in. It then became sunny.
2/14/2014 7:00 AM 0.46 9.6 0.67 31.0 M 28 and snowing heavily, at least an in/hr. Also gusty wind. So the gauge water content at 7 am is from 6.5 in. on the board at that time. By 1:30 it had stopped snowing, giving the 9.6 in. new snow reported below. Sun and 36
2/15/2014 7:00 AM 0.27 M M 33.0 M 26 and overcast. Finally a morning without new snow. The melted water amount is from yesterday's snowfall that ended in the afternoon.. see note 2/14.
2/16/2014 7:00 AM 0.61 7.7 0.69 35.0 M 26 and snowing. Snow stopped around 11 am. New snow amount ( 7.7) from that time as is it's water content. The 7 am water content is from 7 in. of snow at 7am. The sun came out and the high temp was 32.
2/17/2014 7:00 AM 0.61 5.8 M 37.0 2.12 29 and sun by 10:30,
2/18/2014 7:00 AM 0.01 0.1 M 37.0 M 24, started to snow lightly at 8:30, snowing heavily by 11:30. We are a bit overwhelmed by snow.

3/2/2014 7:00 AM 0.26 7.0 M 40.0 M 10 and cloudy. Right now a break in the storm systems coming in.
3/3/2014 7:00 AM 0.16 1.9 M 42.0 3.08 14 and snowing lightly. The total snow core was taken from a spot with 42 in. of snow. I just plunged the gauge into the snow and collected the 12in. sample. Doesn't seem to me that this would be vary accurate as the layers have to have different water amounts. But doing a 40 core is not possible.
3/4/2014 7:00 AM 0.45 5.0 M 44.0 M 23 and very lightly snowing. Seems to always be snowing. The snow is beginning to reach the bottom of my gauge, I have to dig out around it.
3/5/2014 7:00 AM 0.21 2.5 0.30 44.0 M 33 at 7 am and snowing heavily. 2 in. at 7 am. Stopped at 8:30 36 degrees and 2.5 in. of compacted snow. So below accum. is from 8:30am. Filtered sun and light rain after that.

3/8/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 35.0 M 31 and cloudy. The past two days have been warm with sunshine and so we have lost a lot of snow. It is much easier to measure now that it is below 1 meter.
3/9/2014 7:00 AM 0.36 M M 32.0 M 34 and foggy. Spring mud on lower roads.

4/3/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 19.3 5.48 33 and overcast. Did another melted core sample because yesterday's seemed high, but this value is close. Snow is frozen over night so sample was taken about 9 am.
4/4/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 19.3 M 32 and clear. Melting fast on south facing slopes. Total snow measuring spot is on a flat place in front of the house on the driveway that does not get plowed.

7/15/2014 7:00 AM 0.11 M M M M Rain was from a thunder storm. A number of fires have started south of us.

7/17/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 69 and smoke in the morning. Fires everywhere. Big blow up across a river and to the east of us. Breezy and daytime temps in the mid 90's-100's.
7/18/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Large number of fires started by lightning on July 14. The power lines burned on the 17th and thus we lost our internet. The temps have been 100 with high winds. Last night a fire storm developed and part of the town of Pateros burned, it is located on the Columbia River . Homes have burned in the Methow Valley where we live, and it is approaching closer to the town of Winthrop and us. We are on solar power so have been able to run our house as usual. We are about 8 mi. from the fire. The temps and the winds have turned this into a disaster.
7/19/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Temps have moderated a bit but still very windy. The fire has expanded to a HUGE area. It was creeping down the hill sides towards a lake near Winthrop and towards the Chewuch river, which it could jump and we would be much closer to it. But they finally got crews onto this part of the fire to hold it at a road, Bear Creek Rd. It is creeping down the hills towards the town of Twisp and they are under a Level 2 evacuation level. Still windy with the smoke blowing towards Spokane and Montana. There has been NO communication. No cell phones, limited local land line phones, no power for most people, which means no water, no internet. Red cross is now here and set up and more equipment and teams are moving in. We still have not seen a fire map. Best information is coming from a radio station in Chelan. Lots of side river valleys up from the Methow River have burned and it has burned toward Chelan. Much frustration at the lack of information.
7/20/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cooler, 70's with light wind!. Some smoke in the valley but most going to the south east. ( the wind has all been from the NW). We can no longer see flames or blow ups. The land line phones are being kept going by generators, which someone has to fill twice a day. Good for Century Link. No long distance. Verizon got generators to it's towers and now there is cell service with Verizon. ATT has done nothing. We can call family members and friends who are much relieved to hear from us. This is a national priority and many crews are coming in. Red Cross has set up facilities, meals and places for people to stay in the Barn in Winthrop. Wind started coming up in the evening.
7/21/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool and clear and breezy. Windy last night . Local calling out. At 10 :30 am the smoke started coming in. High 77. Finally fire maps and evacuation notices posted around town, as well as lists of homes lost. All this time some hwys were closed. Hwy 20 and 153 and 97. Now 97 is open now and then and Hwy 20 was open but has closed down again due to fire activity. Weather is supposed to change.
7/22/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heavy smoke. Cool with a high of 60. A little rain. It could be cloudy but we cannot see through the smoke. The rescue people coming in have brought in generators, and many people have traveled to the coast to buy generators and sell them. The priority is to get some of the business up in town. Some got internet back, we did not. ( 6000 people with no power)
7/23/2014 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M The cool temps and rain is wonderful. Smoke. The land line is now back on with local and long distance, still feeding the generators at each substation. A large storm system came in and we got thunder and lightning :(, but with heavy rain, hail and some sunshine. A lot of rain, the fire crews were more worried about flash floods and wash outs then new fires. They put out three small fires. We went to a fire meeting, in the lovely rain. We are only in the first third of the fire season. 250, 000 ac. burned.
7/24/2014 7:00 AM 0.78 M M M M A welcome amount of rain. Cool 63 high and calm. Mostly cloudy with occasional smoke. No new fires that we can see. Power may be up for sone of the Methow Valley by the weekend. All the lines were burned for many miles. Obviously we have internet again... generators running. The National Guard is now here. There has been some looting in evacuation zones and in burned areas. It is supposed to be hot again by Sun. We can only hope the rest of the fire season is not as exciting, but like most people here we are ready to leave if we have to. A very sobering and sad experience, which is not over.
7/25/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 50 and clear, smoke in the valleys. Slight wind. Area still without power. (We are on solar power). Internet running now and then and phones are working. Just announced that some of the area will be re-energized this evening.
7/26/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 53 this morning and clear up here. Smoke in the valley below us. Hot weather is on the way. Power has been restored to the valley from Twisp north. 300 homes lost in the fire and 250,000 ac moon-scaped.
7/27/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 59 and clear with smoke below
7/28/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 64 and clear, smoke below. Smoke will probably come up here too. It is calm. Yesterday got up to 85, but no wind. Fire is still going, but not active near the towns, it is active about 6 miles from us to the east.
7/29/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 68 and clear. Smoke below and in the distance. Fire still active.

8/2/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hot. Another fire started between Twisp and Wintrop. 200 houses evacuated... winds came up in the afternoon and blew it NW. Sun Mt on Level 3. By today down to level 2. Winthrop was at level 2 and now down to level 1. N. end of Carlton fire also spread and more road closures.
8/4/2014 7:00 AM T M M M M 65 and mostly clear with smoke. Thunderstorms last evening... none close by but probably they produced new fire starts.
8/5/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 68 and clear with smoke and haze. Fire ( Falls Creek) to north blew up last evening. The wind came up.
8/6/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 65 and breezy. Smoke from the fire to the N. and S. and E. Most of the smoke blowing to the east since the wind is from the west. Both the fire to the N and S blew up last evening as the temps were high (92 here) and the wind came up. Huge 30 K feet plume. The S. one turned red with the sunset and red sun. Scary.
8/7/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 64 and clear up here, smoke in the valley below. Fire to the north is calmer this morning... no plumes anywhere. It has increased to a "large" fire now. Temps were cooler yesterday and supposed to be today. Windy last night but fairly calm right now.
8/8/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 60 with some clouds, and some smoke. Very breezy last night. Fire to the north blew up again last evening.

8/12/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 69 and smoke... maybe clouds but can't see. Just after 7 it started to lightly RAIN. The sound on the roof has never been so welcome. The fire to our north is still a threat. No TSs yet.
8/13/2014 7:00 AM 0.40 M M M M 60 with clouds and smoke. Only heard a couple of thunder events last nigh and then rain, heavy at times almost all night. Cooler and less smoky and no wind. Much relief. The spotter plane has already been out. This should slow the two fires that are threatening the area.
8/14/2014 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M 60 and cloudy. Some thunder south of us. Yesterday there were mud slides south of us on hwy 153 and up Libby Creek.. probably in the burned areas. Much more rain on the coast and the Cascades then we got. But this moisture and lower temps will help slow the fire to our north and south.
8/15/2014 7:00 AM 0.68 M M M M 55 and broken clouds and wispy fog. Perfect, damp, and cool. The relief from immediate fire threat is wonderful. The rains yesterday were heavy, we had no wash outs here. I am sure there was some in the fire scars.
8/16/2014 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M 55 and clear, slight smoke
8/17/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 60 and clear, just a touch of smoke.
8/18/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 60, clear with smoke in the valley. Some TSs last evening to the east and probably to the west as there is a mud slide over Hwy 20 on the pass.
8/22/2014 7:00 AM 0.77 M M M M 46 and clear. A big very slow moving thunderstorm came in right over us last evening. Heavy rains, some hail and some wind. A lot of strikes seemingly near by. The heavy rain hopefully will dampen any new fire starts.
8/23/2014 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M 52 and clear. Yesterdays storms did not affect us. Hopefully they also missed the areas that slid yesterday---10 slides a number of homes damaged.

11/13/2013 11/17/2013 1:45 PM 5 0.06 T M 32 and snowing. This water content is probably just from the snow from today. It was sunny while we were gone. Pouring rain on the coast 1.8 in. on Camano Island in 24 HAr. Nothing over here east of the mountains. Pouring as we drove up to the pass, snowing on the pass and lightly snowing here.
12/16/2013 12/19/2013 3:00 PM 4 0.00 1.5 M Lots of sun while we were gone and at times warm, so the snow that is left is crusty and there is ice. 23 at 3:00pm

The melted snow in the gauge was 0.9 in, but the snow from the storms probably overflowed the gauge. The in. recorded above are from a snow core from the snow board. 36 degrees out.
