Despite the fact that I dump any precipitation from the gauge, shake it three times, and pound it on my pant's leg three times, it is possible that this apparent trace of precipitation is left over from yesterday. I worked outside here all day and did not see any rain. It did cloud up and look very much like rain as darkness fell, but was mostly clear again this morning.

1/10/2015 7:00 AM T T M 0.9 M T max = 20, T min & T current = -1 degree F. The "trace" reported today is much less than yesterday's trace, consisting merely of observing some flakes in the air. The remaining snow on the ground is slightly less than yesterday's, in one case being about one millimeter more than seven-eights of an inch and in the other about one millimeter less than seven-eights of an inch.

1/13/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.5 M T max = 34, T min & T current = 20 degrees F. Residual snow/ice on snow board is immeasurable solid ice even though surrounding grass is only about half covered, demonstrating the temperature neutrality of the white board. Total is a reasonable estimate.
1/14/2015 7:00 AM T T M 0.3 M T max = 25, T min = 13, T current = 15 degrees F. Snow consisted merely of flakes consistently visible in the air for about an hour; no accumulation was ever evidence on surfaces. Total snow is an estimate of a solid mass of ice on the snow board. Elsewhere, total snow would be called a "Trace."
1/15/2015 7:00 AM T T M 0.2 M T max = 25, T min= 14, T current = 18 degrees F. "Trace" was barely shy of 0.01". Snow fell in the morning until surfaces were almost completely covered by new snow, then gradually disappeared through the afternoon until it was almost all gone. Quite a bit of the old snow still persists, primarily as ice and especially on the snow board.

1/24/2015 7:10 AM 0.43 2.0 M 1.2 M Precipitation from the beginning until ~11 pm was snow, then turning to freezing rain and sleet. "Accumulation" was an estimate on steps at house at 11:30 pm. "Total" was measured on the snow board after the rain and sleet packed it down. T max = 39, T min = 19, T current = 28 degrees F.

1/27/2015 7:15 AM 0.17 M M 4.6 M T max = 24, T min & T current = 18 degrees F. Mighty little snow considering that it seemed to be falling for the entire 24 hours.
1/28/2015 7:05 AM T T M 3.3 M T max = 26, T min = 4, T current = 5 degrees F. Snow clearly visible in the gauge, consistent with light snow during much of the day, but melted in a pan of hot water, it was barely enough to "pour" out a single drop. Loss of total snow depth since yesterday may be due to the snow blowing away from the snow board rather than any actual melting.
1/29/2015 7:05 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.1 M T max = 30, T current = 12 degrees F. Sunshiny day but it didn't warm things up very much.
1/30/2015 7:25 AM 0.06 1.0 M 3.6 M T max & T current = 30 degrees F. Initially, a trace of freezing rain, hardly giving a complete cover of ice on surfaces, lasting ~60 min. Snow, heavy at times beginning at 2:40 pm, continuing lightly at observation time. A second heavy burst of snowing ~4:30 pm was ~20% "popcorn" snow but the rest was very fluffy.
1/31/2015 7:05 AM T T M 3.0 M T max the same as T current yesterday morning, confirming my observation that it seemed to be getting colder and colder throughout the day. T min = 3, T current = 5 degrees F. Light snow seemed to be falling frequently throughout the day, but careful thawing of the gauge in a pan of warm water did not produce a single drop. The snow board is in a location that appeared subject to drifting from the vicious gusty winds yesterday but the carefully measured 3.0 inches is fairly typical of average total residual snow.

2/2/2015 7:10 AM 0.24 0.4 0.24 3.5 0.88 New precipitation seemed to be mostly sleet, not much freezing rain (a little at the beginning) and not very much snow in it. T max = 38, T current = 29 degrees F. I was in MD in the morning and first observed snow flakes there at 7:45 am. When I got home, I saw no evidence that any of that snow fell at my location.
2/3/2015 7:10 AM T T M 3.4 M Snowflakes observed in the air most of the afternoon, mostly moving horizontally, but not a drop in the gauge this morning. T max = 38 (briefly in early afternoon turning bitterly cold well before nightfall), T min = 8, T current = 9 degrees F. Surface of snow too crusty for a good measure of total snow.

Despite light snow coming down, going sideways or rising straight up through most of the day, by the end of daylight, most of the new snow had disappeared. Not a drop was evident in the gauge this morning. Maybe it all froze to death.
2/14/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M T min = 0, T max = 22, T current = 16 degrees F.
2/15/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 T 0.01 0.1 M T max = 30, T min & T current = -3 degrees F.
2/16/2015 7:05 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.1 M T max = 8, T min = -5, T current = -4 degrees F. Three fourths of the snow board is clear but the other fourth has about a half inch of ice still on it.
2/17/2015 7:00 AM 0.13 2.1 M 2.1 M T max = 13, T current = 6 degrees F.
2/18/2015 7:00 AM T T 0.00 0.5 M T max = 30, T current = 9 degrees F. Despite temperature never reaching the thawing point, bright sunshiny afternoon (often with snowflakes still falling) made much of the snow disappear. Not a single drop was in the "melted" gauge despite snowflakes in the air most of the day.
2/19/2015 7:00 AM T 0.1 M 0.9 M T max = 30, T min & T current = 1 degree F. Wind-blown snow made it difficult to measure new snow and total snow accurately. Melted snow in the gauge was just less than 0.005". Measured location of new snow was just less than 0.1" (believed to be subject to wind loss) and the snow board had 0.4" more than yesterday (believed to be due to snow accumulation from the wind).
2/20/2015 7:00 AM T T 0.00 0.8 M T max = 13, T min & T current = -5 degrees F. Despite snow flakes falling (lightly)throughout the day (even during the afternoon sunshine) and a bitter sleet at 8 pm, not a single drop could be recovered from the gauge this morning.
2/21/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.8 M
2/22/2015 7:00 AM 0.20 2.5 M M M T min = 8, T max & T current = 25 degrees F. Heavy snow in the early morning tapering off throughout the day, probably over by 9 pm.
2/23/2015 7:00 AM T T M 0.6 M T max = 47, T min & T current = 15 degrees F. Much of the residual snow disappeared in the sunshine yesterday afternoon. New light snow falling at observation time.
2/24/2015 7:00 AM T T 0.00 0.5 M T max = 20.T min & T current = -6 degrees F. The snow board seems to be losing its validity; it still has a substantial chunk of ice on it while all around it is bare ground. It is located at a slope-neutral place and still does fairly represent north-facing slopes.
2/25/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.5 M T max = 30, T current = 20 degrees F. Snow board still 90% covered with ice, up to one inch thick. Half inch is the estimated average. Mostly clear this morning; a few scattered clouds do not look much like the predicted snow.
2/26/2015 7:00 AM T T M 0.1 M T max = 39, T min = 18, T current = 24 degrees F. Snowing at observation time, apparently just begun. Snow board 80% clear, up to 0.5" of ice.
2/27/2015 7:05 AM 0.01 0.1 0.01 0.2 M T max = 30, T min = 8, T current = 9 degrees F. Snow was very "fuzzy" standing up as much as a half inch before the ground was completely covered. It settled during the night and the measurement is as of this morning.
2/28/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M T max = 25, T min = -1, T current = 0 degrees F.

3/2/2015 7:00 AM 0.12 1.0 M 0.8 M T max = 34, T current = 30 degrees F. Large, fluffy flakes until 2 pm (time of maximum depth), then sleety snow through the afternoon and again this morning.
3/3/2015 5:30 AM T T M 0.0 M T max = 34, T min = 17, T current = 20 degrees F. A little snow after observation time yesterday; maybe a few flakes in the air this morning. No snow or ice observable on the snow board.
3/4/2015 7:00 AM 0.31 0.0 M 0.0 M T max = 33, T current = 31 degrees F. This is not a typo; the temperature and the rainfall actually are the same number. Afternoon rain turned to freezing rain around sunset. Heavy rainfall loosened the ice, then overnight much of the ice cover disappeared despite the current temperature below the freezing point.
3/5/2015 7:05 AM 0.36 0.8 M 0.8 M T max = 55, T min & T current = 21 degrees F. Rain throughout much of the day and into the night, very little snow by 2 am and half the total after 5:30 am

It looked like 0.02" but that included two cherry pits and a great deal of brown coloration. In reporting zero I am relying on the lack of other evidence that we had any precipitation--working outside for much of the day and sleeping directly under a sheet metal roof where rain at night often awakens me.
