The moisture measurement is from snow accumulation on the picnic table. Lots of leaves down and in drifts though, so the wind blew and is still blowing.

2/2/2016 8:00 AM M 8.0 0.40 9.5 0.57 It was a challenge to reach the gauge this morning. Snow ranges in depth from 7.5" to drifts of 20". So first, I shoveled 50' of path to the barn; then my normal route to the gauge was deeper than my boots (knee high), so I went through the barn having to navigate the parked vehicles and firewood. Got through the goats who wanted fed and then slogged to the gauge. Behind the barn its a bit more wind cleared so is only 8" deep more or less. I'm not sure I've ever had so much snow that it went over my boot tops. At dusk last night there were areas of drifted snow and wind scoured areas; but this more even layering of snow this morning fell after dark {EDIT: Observer reported 0.04. Seems to be a typo seeing as the observer also reported 8.0 of new snow with a melted value of 0.40. 0.40 matches up better with the surrounding reports. Changed to NA until observer can verify if this is an error. -DNT}

3/16/2016 7:00 AM T M M M M There was a trace of rain and grapple about 2:30 PM. Winds were strong

At 7:05AM it really picked up and a little later I could not see the neighbor's about 1000' away. I did measure the depth of snow on the picnic table, which is somewhat protected from the wind and it was 1'5" deep.Not having the gauge at the house, I wasn't able to take an amount measurement.

It did not begin to snow and accumulate till sometime after 10PM. Mostly during the day it snowed but promptly melted. Significant snow flurries didn't begin until about noon and then were sporadic through out the afternoon. You did not get the feeling this was a major storm until this morning. Even the winds wer'nt that hard.
4/18/2016 7:00 AM 0.04 0.0 0.00 1.5 M By about noon yesterday there was 4" of snow on the ground. But by 1PM it was already melting off. This morning there is only about 50% snow cover and its melting as I type. Roads and gravel areas are bare.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
12/23/2015 12/27/2015 9:00 AM 5 0.03 1.0 0.13 This is the amount of snow that fell on the cleared snowboard; not on the uncleared end.
3/23/2016 3/24/2016 7:00 AM 2 0.54 3.0 0.54 These amount measurements are for the 23rd and 24th. I wasn't able to get out to the gauge on the 23rd. Also, we just got power back on at 2AM this morning, after being w/o 2 days. I took this measurement on the picnic table; the snow board had no snow, it had been wind scoured clear. Snow is patchy this morning with a lot of areas cleared by the wind. Then there are areas drifted about 15" deep. The precipitation in the 4" gauge was no longer snow. It had melted and was frozen solid. Total snow depth is probably way under the actual amount that fell, since much of it was going sideways and there was a lot of melting Wed afternoon.
