Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
11/26/2015 11/30/2015 5:40 AM 5 0.29 M 1.00 The snow was hard,crusted, and trampled. I could not find a good place to core the snow. Cold temperatures (less than 30 degrees) have prevailed over the last few days, and no precipitation fell through the night. Snow was falling on the 26th, but had been proceeded earlier in the day by rain. Since our gage seems to do a poor job a capturing snow, I think this measurement probably under represents the total precipitation over the last few days.
11/29/2015 11/30/2015 5:40 AM 2 0.29 M 1.00 This measurement is a replicate of the 11/25-11/30 measurement. Sorry
12/24/2015 12/26/2015 7:00 AM 3 0.08 M M About 1" of hard crusted snow is covering most of the ground.

There was a trace of precipitation in the mountains north of Boise where we camped, but we did not see any indication of precipitation when we returned Sunday afternoon. However, on the morning of the 8th a fair amount of dirt had been deposited on our vehicles windshields from what must of been an nighttime sprinkle. There was no precipitation in the gage.
