11/11/2015 7:40 AM 0.92 8.5 0.92 8.5 0.92 Almost all areas had 10-11 inches of snow, but I averaged in one area of 3 inches, even though it was the only wind-blown area. This is a very deep snow.
11/12/2015 7:00 AM 0.08 1.8 0.08 9.0 M The melted amount and the total depth of snow may not sync well since I measured the depth of new snow yesterday morning as the storm ended, and I brought the gauge in this morning to melt the new snow. I couldn't get to it yesterday (long story). Some may have sublimated in the 20 hour difference in measurement. Sorry--this is not ideal. At storm's end the total depth of snow was 12.0 inches in most spots.
11/13/2015 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 1.09
11/14/2015 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 0.90 No bare ground visible yet except for a tiny bit under one tree and on one edge of a steep terrace. All areas that I could reach to measure still had significant snow. I did go for 2% bare ground, which is very high. Snow on ground came out to 4.998 inches. Melted core is accurate, not rounded up.
11/15/2015 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 0.79 Less than 5% bare ground.
11/16/2015 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M Most of the ground is still covered with snow--only about 5-6% bare at the most. Snow depth averaged to a tiny bit under 3 inches still. Did not get core measurement--icy.
11/17/2015 10:00 AM 2.03 20.5 2.03 M M Could not get out of the house until this time--couldn't open front door. Husband shoveled and helped me, but gauge was completely buried, even though he put it on top of the snow at midnight. Took measurements yesterday several times that are quite accurate, but due to amount that fell overnight, my melted number is probably lower than it should be. Can't get out to measure depth in all places--just near one side of house. Looks even deeper elsewhere (where I can't reach), though I have some windblown areas that look only about 10 inches deep. Bottom line--new snow amount was measured off of my board and totaled from yesterday afternoon (8.0 inches) with this morning (12.5 inches), but depth of snow in areas I can reach averages 18 inches of new snow. Is the difference compression? Can't get to areas with old and new snow for total depth, though I would estimate 21 inches and that would be reasonably accurate. Melted amount of new snow is undoubtedly lower than it should be because of buried gauge.
11/18/2015 7:30 AM 0.03 0.4 0.03 18.0 M This new snow total is from my reporting time yesterday, which was quite late, so much more actually fell from 7 a.m., as it was snowing heavily in the first part of the morning. I was able to take more measurements today to get the total snow depth--the average of 6 areas was 18.2 inches. Tried to get a core sample--failed! I just couldn't get an accurate one.
11/19/2015 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M 15.0 M Again, could not get core measurement--snow is too deep for me.

11/21/2015 7:00 AM 0.24 3.9 0.24 17.0 M Light snow throughout with brief periods of limited visibility after the sun set (I was outside some of the time to check). Still can't get total core sample because of depth of snow and my physical limitations. Sorry.

11/24/2015 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.0 M Seeing some bare ground on places that were previously plowed, but did not count them into total depth of snow on ground. Getting easier to take measurements, though I know it won't last!
11/25/2015 7:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M 8.5 M
11/26/2015 9:00 AM 0.05 0.1 0.05 8.5 M Accurate measurement. New snow depth was hard to measure because there was so little, but it was more than a trace. My total snow depth was the same as yesterday--8.3 inches, so I rounded up to 8.5. I didn't round up yesterday, so I went back and edited.
11/27/2015 8:35 AM 0.27 7.8 0.27 16.0 M Total depth 16.2. Fluffy snow, variable drifting, icy base. Snow was mounded up over top of gauge.
11/28/2015 8:45 AM 0.02 0.6 0.02 16.0 M
11/29/2015 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 16.0 M Some foggy mist had crystallized on my platform, but I didn't count this. Could this be counted as a trace, though? Not enough melted in gauge to even observe--just sublimated when I brought it indoors.
11/30/2015 9:00 AM 0.16 4.0 0.16 17.5 M New snowfall is accurate--exactly four inches of very fluffy, light snow. Total depth was surprising--much less than I thought.
12/1/2015 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 17.0 M
12/2/2015 8:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M 17.0 M Depth of total snow is 16.8 inches, rounded up to 17.0. This is the same (exactly) as yesterday, so even though I saw dripping off of the roof, the snow isn't compacting or melting very much.
12/3/2015 8:50 AM 0.00 0.0 M 13.5 M Lots of melting yesterday, though no bare ground anywhere yet.
12/4/2015 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M 13.5 M When I measured snow on four locations, I got a total snow depth of 14.5, which is an inch higher than yesterday's measurement. When I added a fifth measurement in (a lower one), I got 13.6. I'm going with the 13.6 (rounded down to 13.5), but I'm unsure how accurate these measurements are now! Lots of melting.
12/5/2015 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M 11.5 M Warm--lots of melting.
12/6/2015 10:00 AM T 0.1 T 10.0 M Melted snow in the gauge did not even cover the bottom of the inner tube. Melting quickly today.

12/9/2015 11:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 M Measurement of total depth of rapidly melting snow taken late because of sickness, so it may have been a bit deeper early this morning.
12/10/2015 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sick--didn't measure total depth of snow.
12/11/2015 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.5 M Total snow depth averaged 6.6 inches, but there's a little bare ground. I'm estimating 20%, which is undoubtedly a bit high. Most uncovered ground is under trees, so I don't think that counts (?). With 20 percent, total comes out to 5.28, rounded up to 5.5 inches. FYI--the neighborhood below us has MUCH more bare ground than we do.
12/12/2015 9:15 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 M 20 percent bare ground at the most.
12/13/2015 9:50 AM 0.20 1.9 0.20 6.5 M Accurate melted measurement.

12/15/2015 7:00 AM 0.79 10.8 0.79 M M Gauge was completely buried, and I had to probe for it with the ruler, so melted amount is undoubtedly inaccurate and low (a lot fell off the top). Snow was too deep for me to walk far, so I couldn't take a measurement on total snow depth, though a rough estimate would be 15-18 inches. No one home to help--sorry this is so unscientific today! New snow depth is accurate at least!
12/16/2015 7:00 AM 0.47 2.4 0.47 M M The gauge fell over, so I don't know if this is accurate. I picked it up quickly, but more snow may have gotten in than actually fell (though I saw it visually right before blew over, and there was a lot of snow in it). Hard to get a total depth since it's tough for me to walk in the deep snow--sorry.
12/17/2015 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Could not get an accurate total snow depth. New snow is measuring 14 inches.
12/18/2015 7:30 AM 0.10 T M 17.0 M Light snowfall for two hours, but very unproductive. Total snow depth is very accurate today since my son did it in areas I can't go.
12/19/2015 8:55 AM 0.00 0.0 M 15.5 M Total snow depth very accurate.

12/21/2015 7:00 AM 0.08 1.0 0.08 M M Measurements of new snow taken just after snowfall stopped yesterday evening. Edited from 0.9 inches to 1.0 inches since my adult son took the measurement and I misunderstood him about the reading.

12/23/2015 7:40 AM T T T M M FYI--My son has hiked up the mountain/foothill behind our house several times in the last few days. He told me that just above the house the total snow depth varies from an inch to waist-deep (in a north-facing bowl that doesn't get sun), though there are a few patches of wind-swept bare ground. He was amazed at the variation of depth.

Plowed amount on driveway seemed deeper, too, but not windy, so not sure about why platform snow didn't match.

4/28/2016 7:30 AM 0.25 0.5 0.25 M M Measurement of snow depth was one inch (exactly), but clumping a bit (melt), so I figured ground was fifty percent covered. All measurement are exact, not rounded up, though they look suspicious!
