The local Minneapolis hip radio station says that when NWS reports one inch of snow at Paisley Park, they will switch to a 24-hour Prince format for a couple of days.

Got some falling snow, but a lot of blown snow covered snowboard. Swept off clean, will try again tomorrow.
Tried the two-board method. one on the ground to measure accumulated, second one dropped on top of snowpack for new snowfall. Maybe dropped too hard, but after a sunny day or two, it had sunk to 1" below surface. This promptly filled in with light snowfall and wind-bourne snow. I need to work on my technique. |

.78" fell 8:10-8:40.
Note: there was a large black walnut in the funnel of the gage. Don't know if it blew from adjacent tree or was deposited there for safekeeping by a squirrel. Removed at 8:40pm. Did not block flow but might affect splatter. |
