11/2/2014 5:00 AM 0.51 2.5 0.51 M M Mostly cloudy and cold. Wet snow began to fall around 7pm and has slowly tapered off overnight. No snow was falling at observation time. Ground depth appears fairly consistent with snow depth in tube so I am considering the tube sample to be a reasonably accurate measurement for this event. There was too much initial melt to be fully confident in getting an accurate moisture content measurement from taking a core sample from the ground.
11/3/2014 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Party cloudy, cold, and breezy. Snow showers tapered off during the AM hours. No ground accumulation. About 50% ground coverage remained from the previous night due to slightly above freezing temps allowing gradual snow melt.

11/10/2014 5:00 AM 0.30 3.9 0.30 M M Cloudy, frigid, and windy. Light snow fell from about noon through much of the evening. Ground accumulations varied due to northerly winds making it harder to stick to areas not wind sheltered. Average depth appears consistent with snow in tube. No snow was falling at observation time.

11/22/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mostly sunny, cold, and breezy. Most snow cover has melted due to prolonged above freezing temps and wind.

11/28/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mostly sunny, windy, and cold. Warmer above freezing temps combined with wind to melt off all snow that fell the previous day.
11/29/2014 5:00 AM 0.57 8.0 0.57 M M Partly to mostly cloudy and turning quickly frigid as the day progressed. Light to heavy snow fell in the afternoon into the overnight hours. Snow depths were difficult to pin down due to the light and airy nature of the snow shifting easily in the light winds causing drifts. Had no choice but to use the tube sample. Ground samples from non-drifted areas seemed close enough to amount in tube so I considered it a reasonable representation.

12/14/2014 6:00 AM 0.23 3.0 0.23 M M Mostly cloudy and cold. Light wet snow fell from late morning into the late evening hours. Wind was causing it to stick on facing vertical surfaces making the precip tube unreliable. Took a ground sample representing the avg depth on open flat surfaces not influenced by nearby structures.

Some minor drifting occurred in light to moderate northerly winds. Snow had stopped as of observation time. With yesterday's snowfall the storm total is 4.3" Had some concerns about accuracy of measurement in the tube due to the wind, but it seems ok.

1/3/2015 6:00 AM 0.23 4.0 0.23 M M Mostly cloudy, windy, and turning frigid with the passing of the cold front. Light to moderate snow drifting occurred in the AM under moderately windy conditions. Primarily light to moderate and occasionally heavy snow fell in the evening hours. Skies cleared and the snow had ended prior to observation time. I am not fully convinced my tube sample is accurate due to the snow not falling straight down in the wind thus likely missing some of the precipitation that fell, however considering the snow that fell in this storm was drifting on the ground and that there is pre-existing snow cover, a ground sample would be less so.
1/4/2015 5:00 AM 0.02 0.4 0.02 M M Mostly cloud and frigid. Fine light snow fell late night and up to observation time.
1/5/2015 5:00 AM 0.03 0.4 M M M Variable cloudiness and frigid. Some light snow during the morning and again briefly later in the evening. Next major snow storm has yet to arrive as forecasted as of observation time.
