11/17/2015 8:00 AM 0.72 11.1 M 11.1 M Still snowing and blowing at report time. Core results will be reported later. First sprinkles started at about 12:10 pm yesterday, and turned to snow about 1:00 pm which fell steadily from that time on. Several depth measurements in non-drifted areas averaged just over 11 inches, but ranged from zero where blown clear to over 2 feet in drifts. Gauge was full of snow which settled to about 7.5 inches as I tapped the bottom to break the ice holding the gauge to the mount, and the melt measured 0.72" in the gauge.
11/18/2015 8:00 AM 0.33 2.3 0.33 13.0 2.01 Snow storm ended about 12:25 pm. New snowfall values from the gauge. Total snow on the ground taken about 12:45 pm after the snow ended (and before the clouds had cleared), but some melting had occurred at the start of the storm and some compaction had occurred.

12/13/2015 8:00 AM 0.30 3.8 0.30 M M Snow started at 10:15 am with immediate accumulation and continued fairly steadily into the evening. At my usual depth measuring spots, the new snow was about 2.7" but in the gauge it was 3.8", perhaps due to wind compaction in the open areas.
12/14/2015 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 4.5 0.96 Total depth of snow and ice does not include about 0.5" of impenetrable ice on the ground, and melted value also does not include this ice. Prior to Saturday's snow fall, about 60% of the ground was still covered with snow, 40% was bare. After that snow about 99% is covered with snow: measured in the core about 2.3" was new snow and about 2.1" was old, refrozen snow (plus the 0.5" of ice not recoverable).
12/15/2015 8:00 AM 0.33 8.4 0.33 M M Snow started after midnight and continues at report time, although the Channel 9 radar shows southwest Elbert County as being clear, I can assure you it is still snowing and blowing! Visibility has improved to about 1/2 mile. Strong wind has blown some areas clear and drifted others, so a ground measurement of new snow depth is difficult to estimate, but the gauge had 8.4 inches of very light fluffy snow which melted to only 0.33" of water and this was used for the 'New Snowfall'.
12/16/2015 8:00 AM 0.08 1.8 0.08 M M Snowed lightly all day until after 6:00 pm, with about 1.8" in the gauge for a storm total of 10.2".

3/31/2016 8:00 AM 0.11 1.3 0.11 M M Precip started as snow, in all its varieties, and remained snow throughout. Much melted on the ground, but 1.3" in the gauge with little melting.
4/1/2016 8:00 AM 0.02 0.3 0.02 M M Flurries started about 8:45 am and "real" snow started about 9:05 am and ended about 10:45 am. Most melted soon after falling. Occasional flurries throughout the afternoon. New snow accumulation is kind of an educated estimate due to melting.

4/16/2016 8:00 AM 0.71 6.8 0.71 M M Snow flakes started 6:40 pm until 7:10 pm with no accumulation (temps about 40 degrees). Real snow started between 10:00 pm and 11:45 pm. At report time, between 0" and 6" in drifts with average on the ground about 4.5". 6.8" in gauge melted to 0.71" of water. At report time, snowing heavily with pelletal grains, visibility less than 1/8 mile, wind strong from the north-northwest.
4/17/2016 8:00 AM 1.69 12.8 1.69 M M Snow continued throughout the day and into the night. Tapering off this morning, but, in spite of the radar, still very light, tiny flakes at report time. Snow accumulation measurement is taken from the gauge which was emptied at 5:30 last night as well as this morning and added together. Depth at 5:30 pm was 9.4" of snow and 1.10" of melt, and this morning was 3.4" of snow and 0.59" of melt for the totals as reported. Temps near freezing have allowed more melting and compaction on the ground, and strong north winds also continue.
4/18/2016 8:00 AM T T T 10.5 2.17 Infrequent, very light snow showers throughout the day and into the night but only a trace of accumulation. Last week there was no total snow on the ground. This morning the range is from a 1/4" of ice where blown clear to over 16" in drift areas where melting and compaction has reduced the depth from the gauge total. At the total snow collection site, the depth was about 10.4" with very wet ground beneath and dense, compacted and crusty snow in the core. Temps near freezing all day and shoveled areas dried clear even though there was very little sun.
4/19/2016 8:00 AM 0.17 1.8 0.17 M M A couple of light snow showers during the day with no accumulation. Measurable snow started after midnight and ended before 6 am. Light snow falling at report time.

4/27/2016 8:00 AM 0.07 0.6 0.07 M M This seemed to be a rainless graupel-hail-snow storm, beginning with soft, white pellets up to 1/4" for about 15 minutes; followed by lighter, pelletal snow until about 3:49 when heavier, soft, white hail up to about 3/8" fell for about 15 minutes and covering the ground to a depth of about 1/2" but melting rapidly. Snow and graupel continued , tapering off until about 5:00 pm. No actual rain was seen throughout the storm. No damage was done.
4/28/2016 8:00 AM T M M M M Two traces of precip: one very light sprinkle of rain with an occasional white flake from about 4:40 pm to about 5:10 pm; curiously in spite of weather radar reflections passing over us during the evening, no precipitation wet the decks; the second trace fell as a dusting of snow from about 6:50 am to about 7:10 am this morning.
4/29/2016 8:00 AM 0.34 3.0 0.34 M M Snow yesterday morning from 8:40 am to 10:00 am, but most melted later. No significant snow until after 10:00 pm, but by 11:30 pm about 1/2" had fallen. By 7:30 am this morning, about 1.9" on raised surfaces and 3.0" in the gauge with a layer of ice in the bottom; melted to 0.34". Snowing lightly at report time. Report slightly early due to other commitments.
4/30/2016 8:00 AM 0.91 5.3 0.91 M M Snowed at varying rates all day, but lessening in the late afternoon and evening. New snow on raised surfaces was 5.3", in gauge was 3.2" with 0.4" of ice at bottom.
5/1/2016 8:00 AM 0.12 0.4 0.12 M M Didn't snow much during the day leaving only about 0.4" new in the gauge, but of that about 0.2" was ice on the bottom. Snow on the ground in the same places as yesterday was down to about 6.0" due to melting and compaction. Fog this morning is leaving a nice white flocking about 0.1" thick on the trees.
5/2/2016 8:00 AM T T T 3.5 0.65 A few scattered flurries during the day, but less than a hundredth of an inch of melt in the gauge.

Steady snow started before 6:00 am on 11/11 and ended about 9:45 am with a total about 2" on the ground where melting had not occurred and less in the gauge due to the winds. Later in the day the melt in the gauge was 0.15", but much of the snow on the ground had already melted, so no core report.
