11/17/2014 6:30 AM 0.22 1.9 0.17 1.5 M Snow began around 10:45 AM and ended around 5:30 PM. There was no wind with this snow, so the gauge catch should be very accurate. Temperatures were at or just above freezing most of the day, so some of the moisture from the snow was probably lost from the core collected from the snow board. I forgot to collect a core sample from the total snow on the ground.
11/18/2014 6:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.3 M Surrounding stations are reporting a T of new snow this morning. I know the radar showed snow flurries passed over my area but it must have happened before I got home. No flakes observed in the gauge this AM. Did not collect core from total snow.

2/18/2015 6:10 AM 0.03 0.7 M 3.0 M Light snow began around 8:30 PM last night. Nothing was on my snow board this morning since the wind was moving the dry light snow around considerably. But the gauge catch seems accurate so I based the accumulation of new snow on what leveled out in the cylinder. I did not collect core samples.
