By noon, the precip had changed over to all snow. While it was snowing, we had a thin layer accumulating on the ground. Once the snow ended, melting on the ground happened pretty quickly.

In the first storm, light rain began around 6:30 p.m. with very heavy rain starting at 6:55 p.m. Between 7:00 and 7:13 p.m., we had hail up to 1.00". The rain with this storm ended at 7:17 p.m., and we got 1.49" of rain. This storm also triggered two tornado warnings for our town. The second storm began at 7:28 p.m. with very heavy rain. We also had a 5-minute period of hail beginning at 7:29 p.m. I observed hail stones up to 3/4". The rain had let up considerably by 8:20 p.m., and we got 0.39" out of this storm. The third storm storm was by far the weakest, producing no hail but plenty of rain. This storm also lasted much longer. Rain began at about 9:00 p.m. and we still had rain at 11:15 p.m. Total rain amount for all the storms came to 2.72" At observation time, the wind was howling out of the north with some light drizzle.

2/2/2016 7:00 AM 1.06 10.0 1.65 9.5 M Off and on snow began around 9:30 a.m. Since temps were above freezing until about 6:00 p.m., much of the snow that fell was melting pretty quickly. At 3:00 p.m., I measured a half-inch on my snow board. I also emptied 0.18" of melted precip from my snow gauge. The real show began around 9:00 p.m. with moderate to heavy snow all night. My snow gauge was filled level with the top, leading me to believe that I missed some of the snow (note the core sample). I melted 0.88" from the snow gauge, for a total melted value of 1.06". Drifting is a real issue, with drifts of up to 30". But it is a very heavy, wet snow. I measured 9.5" of snow since 3:00 p.m., for total new snow of 10.0". The core sample yielded 1.65" of melted precip. Snow still falling at observation time.
2/3/2016 7:00 AM 0.72 0.5 M 8.0 1.52 Due to the severe blizzard conditions we had from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the accuracy of my measurements is certainly in question. Snow blew hard throughout the day, and it was definitely snowing for most of this time. I collected enough snow in my gauge for 0.72" of melted precip, but how much of this was from actual new snow and how much was from ground snow picked up by the wind is anybody's guess. Meanwhile, only 0.5" of new snow accumulated on my snow board. The wind was removing it as fast as it could accumulate, I think. I would say this storm qualifies as the snowstorm of the decade here in Norton.

12/27/2015 1/02/2016 7:00 AM 7 0.00 M M I've been told we had some snow during this period. My gauge (configured for snowfall) was empty, but I'm guessing that whatever was collected evaporated.
5/9/2016 5/10/2016 7:00 AM 2 0.01 M M I forgot to empty the gauge yesterday morning. We had light rain both Sunday and Monday, but it didn't amount to much.

9/15/2016 9/17/2016 5:15 PM 3 0.68 M M I'm pretty confident that most of this fell during the 24-hour period ending at 7:00 a.m. on 9/16/2016. The other Norton stations reported ~0.70" on the 16th.
