Intense slushy snow in large clumps with visibility frequently 1/8 to 1/4 mile fell till 2 pm, then steady light mixed precipitation and an occasional moderate snow shower fell till late evening, and there was even an odd flurry toward dawn. Despite the intense rate of fall, slush accumulated up to only 3" on the best accumulating surfaces but only 1" to 2" on most non-paved and as little as none on some walkways where shoveling of a small accumulation of slush was needed only in stretches. Slow melting during the storm and overnight with temperatures steady 34 to 35 with wet-bulb temps 32 to 35 resulted in only a half inch to two of depth on grass leftover this morning. Very little slush accrued on tree limbs and power lines as it melted as fast as it fell from those low-profile elevated surfaces, thus averting electrical outages. Accumulations likely were much greater on nearby higher elevations. Significant Weather Report as of 4 PM contains still more details.

Glaze ice up to 0.05" thick melted during the afternoon with a daytime max temp of 35.4 and dew point to match. However, heavy frost and ground fog with near-freezing temperatures under clear and calm conditions formed early evening making many surfaces slick again before temperature rose to upper 30s shortly after midnight. While ice accreted on ground and light-colored elevated surfaces quite easily, little or none accreted on dark-colored elevated surfaces such as tree branches, power lines, and the black precipitation funnel of my Davis system which measured the rain in real time even with the heater off while some ice accrued in the clear 4" diameter CoCoRaHS gauge. Both gauges collected 0.13 for this event. In the area, some deep hollow places remained icy all day while some high terrain had no ice at all.

1/24/2015 7:00 AM 1.00 5.1 1.02 5.0 1.04 Precipitation from 10 PM into the overnight was back and forth between wet snow and sleet, more snow than sleet which was heavy at times. Precipitation eventually became light rain toward dawn. Wires and tree branches became laden with wet snow. With wet bulb temperature stabilizing at 33, no glaze ice formed in this immediate area. Light rain at observation. Note: Precipitation was originally reported as 0.89, updated to reflect core sample which came to 1.04 and included 0.02 of old and 0.02/0.1 of rain/snow which fell after the 0700 observation and to be reported for 1/25, thus 1.00 exactly for 1/24.
1/25/2015 7:00 AM 0.02 0.1 M 3.5 M Mixture of light rain, wet snow, or snow pellets continued more off than on into early afternoon. Temperatures reached upper 30s (39) with some sunshine mid and late afternoon but otherwise hovered in mid 30s (all above freezing) last 24 hours, allowing slow melting, even overnight. Storm totals were 5.2 slushy snow, 1.02 melt water per mid-morning core sample which included the entrainment of some sleet and rain in the pack.

Snow, more powdery, fell from midnight till predawn. Any snow after 4:30 AM was very light. However, this period of no precipitation is expected to be only a lull. Old slush, which reduced to 2" depth, was found to contain 0.90 liquid, even after considerable melting since Saturday morning.

The snow, which reduced visibility to 1/4 to 1/2 mile at times, fell mainly as very small flakes and thus accumulated very gradually as dense dry powder of 6:1 melt ratio despite temperatures in the mid 20s.

Present flurries are feeble.

3/1/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.5 1.56 Core sampling ahead of expected snow or wintry mix today revealed about a half inch of water equivalent was lost from the snow/ice pack since last Sunday evening despite persistently frigid temperatures. Sampling was done at a spot that gets about 1/2 of possible sunshine and has depth of 3.5 inches. Areas that get nearly full possible sunshine lost almost all of it and have depths of an inch to none. Areas which are always shaded have depths of 4 to 5 inches.
3/2/2015 7:00 AM 0.41 2.5 M 5.0 1.97 Mainly light snow fell from 8:42 AM until it mixed with and changed to sleet during the 2 PM hour then to freezing rain toward dusk which tapered during dusk and ended completely sometime overnight. Depth of new snow and sleet was partly estimated due to beat-down. Measurement of new accumulation at 4:20 PM showed 1.9", then another at 6:35 PM showed it got beat down further to 1.5". Final accumulation was topped with a crust of sleet and glaze-ice cement.

Pack contains much rain and melt water which got absorbed and refroze therein. Significant melting, considerable runoff across some rural roads, and even minor flooding at some poor drainage areas occurred yesterday.
