Humidity rose overnight to 54% by 8:00 AM, enough moisture to allow thin but hard frost to form thanks to nighttime temperatures below 28F for over 9 hours and an overnight low temperature of 25.1F. |

The creek below my house is unusually wide, muddy and loud. The Big East Fork of the Pigeon River, across the cove from me, is high and very fast. As I came home this morning, I saw a lot of runoff from driveways that had carried plenty of stones and mud into the road. |

The ground is still frozen from the recent cold weather, so runoff should be higher than normal for a given amount of rain. The tiniest creeks near my house, which almost never visibly run, can be seen (and heard) from a distance; they are still running off from the big rains a while back. |

Roughly 7" of snow in gauge, which melted down to 0.96" of H2O. 12.8" on the ground, an increase of 5.8" from yesterday, but I forgot to use a snowboard so I only have the overall depth and core melt (13" and 1.91", respectively) measurements. Plenty of wind continues to cause a lot of drifting, but it's boot-deep even in the shallow spots. Got my car stuck in the driveway again this morning when I got home from work. And I still love the snow. |

Main roads are fine. An occasional patch of black ice, but the roads were heavily salted. Side roads are patchy; long clear stretches interspersed with the remnants of drifted snow, up to 6" deep and full of tire tracks. Not bad if you know how to drive in it. |

Virtually no change in the snowpack in my yard, except where the snow has been disturbed (footprints, cores, etc.). An icy crust is insulating the fluffy snow underneath so well that it is barely settling. A ruler stuck down in the same holes I used yesterday gives the same readings, and today's core's SWE is 0.17" more than yesterday's - even though I took the core from only a couple of inches away from the last core. |

Sparse graupel during the mid-afternoon, but it was too warm out for it to last. |

Interesting weather yesterday, Light rain, heavy rain, hail, sun, back to rain. Then it started snowing. Snow didn't amount to much because the air never got that cold and the ground was warm(ish) and wet. |

No rain, only snow, but it was too warm for any accumulation. Snow started at 2 PM sharp and continued non-stop until after 7 PM (when I went to bed). Temperatures were in the mid-30's during the entire event, although at about 3 PM there was roughly a half-inch of slushly snow on my car that soon melted away. |
