Precautionary measurements made at 1251-1253 because of probable melting, which did occur primarily to rising temperatures (Overcast, with a few tiny breaks + occasional glimpses of sun; slightly windy; no precip)
I am not using the measurement from station #2 due to its condition in comparison to the other two stations, whose surfaces were covered uniformly at 1/16". Its surface had irregular and different depths of snow and ice due to partial melting, unlike the other two stations which had undergone complete melting due to fewer trees and more sun. |

Thin overcast, with Jupiter and Arcturus peeking through faintly; nearly calm; no precip // 1) Brief mixture of rain and sleet in late morning, followed by some light flurries; no accumulation
2) Sufficient melting near each station is causing me to measure in an adjacent area with a different depth at #3, hence the larger mean for snow cover. |

Partly cloudy included a nice view of Jupiter; very windy; no precip // Precautionary measurements at 0846-0847 at only two stations due to anticipated sunshine during the late morning and afternoon (Overcast; slightly windy; light flurry from Lake Ontario); complete melting at each station // Brief and very light flurry from Lake Ontario at about 2005 // General melting to the west of station #3 where I have been measuring all winter has finally forced me to move to a new location southeast of the station. |

Mostly clear, with a waxing crescent (38%) Moon in some light clouds above the western horizon; slightly windy; no precip // The lawn around stations #2 and #3 is mostly free of snow, and thus there are no measurements of ground cover at those locations. |
