Snow closed several N-S roads during the afternoon with poor visibility and dense drifts. Part of our driveway drifted in and had to be cleared (by me) Peak wind gusts here probably around 45 mph for several hours. Then winds diminished suddenly around 4 PM and light winds overnight with temperature dropping to 20F by morning. Snow albedo dimished considerably yesterday and now very crusty.

Must have really snowed hard later as woke up at 6 AM to find calm winds, barely any snow falling, but everything covered with 6" or more 6.3" on the grass, 5.8" on my snowboard but each core had the same So with yesterday's melting, the gauge catch is higher than either core.

Sunny to partly cloudy day with mostly mid and high clouds but some cumuloform clouds in the afternoon on Tuesday with high temperature upper 60s and winds from the SW gusting to 30 mph at times. Winds switched to the north during the evening and light rain began about 11:45 PM becoming steady rain until it changed to snow around 3:15 AM. Checked gauge at 4:10 AM and found 1" snow and 0.56" precip. Heavy snow thereafter -- wet and sticky. Caked over the top of both of my gauges. Ground mounted gauge totaled 0.86". Posted mounted gauge 0.96" but both were plugged and capped over with strong winds this morning. Core of 0.62 from grass. My precip total of 1.07" is derived from a combination of 4 AM gauge catch with rain and the 7:10 AM core sample Snow still coming down very hard at this time 2"/hr about Low 30F with stiff gusty N winds but no drifting as snow is too sticky. (This was submitted Tuesday AM around 8 AM after doing all the melting, etc. But this is a correction. I reported 7" of snow yesterday but took more measurements and found our yard was low compared to pasture and open areas, so upped my totals slightly. NJD) |

Challenged observations. Spilled one of my two gauges and snowboard core affected by snow that fell from nearby trees. Took depth and core yesterday midday when snow had ended -- 12" on level with 0.92" water content out in the pasture. Today, that's down to 7" and 0.72" so it's melting from below and soaking into the ground. I don't think my gauges show this, but figuring we got 0.40" from rain and 0.92" from the snow core, that would suggest a storm total of close to 1.32", but I'll stick with what I've got here -- 1.07" yesterday plus 0.17" today for total of 1.24" -- about as close as I can get. High temp around 31F yesterday. Partial clearing with diminishing winds in the afternoon. Cold night with patchy dense fog and low 12F. |

Snow began in earnest after 5 PM with periods of intensity enough to begin accumulation on grass.

Dark, cloudy and very cold for this time of year. Mixed rain and snow became all snow and came down quite heavily for a time midday with stiff northerly winds. Seemed to bring more moisture than what showed up in the gauge based on puddles, etc -- but no accumulation of snow - even on the grass. Precip decreased to very light rain during the evening and may have stopped, but woke up to a steady light snow this AM with no winds and slight accumulation only on roof and car tops. High 36F on Sat, low 33F overnight -- current temp 33F |
