This morning another 0.8" snow was on the table (0.07" gauge water).
4/30/2016 7:00 AM 0.29 2.8 M 3.0 M 7am, 7950' elevation. Low overcast. Blacktop mostly clear, but concrete has some accumulation from overnight. Increments are 7 am to 7:30 pm = 1.3" somewhat compacted snow (0.18" gauge water equivalent); 7:30 pm to 7 am another 1.5" snow (another 0.11" gauge water equivalent).
5/1/2016 7:00 AM 0.05 0.9 M 2.0 M Moderate snowfall and 27 degr at 7 am, 7950' elevation. Occasional flurries throughout past 24 hours. Increments: 7 am to 12:30 pm = 0.5" snowfall (0.02" gauge water); new accumulating snowfall after dawn to 7 am = another 0.4" snow (another 0.03" gauge water equivalent).

Later, it was difficult to identify small-hail vs. "snowlike" precip remains OR what the then-liquid gauge capture comprised in terms of source (I'm not using inner funnel yet here in the mtns). My guess is substantial hail-or-graupel with "some" rain, as well. Thus, NO hail report filed, but certainly a lot of good moisture!
