11/5/2015 8:00 AM 0.20 T M T M Preliminary report. Water is frozen in inner cylinder. We got a dusting of snow and a visible accumulation over the uncompacted dirt over the septic tank. Will update amount when ice thaws... OK it is liquid and it really is 0.20 so it must not have frozen solid. It is 63F in the house and 32F outside and heavy overcast. Which is pretty amazing considering there is no artificial heat source in the house. We got about half a day's worth of sun yesterday.

11/17/2015 8:45 AM 0.73 6.0 M 6.0 M Surprised by the amount of water we got! Mostly snow in gauge but there was about .1 to .2 inches thick layer of ice on the bottom that took a while to break free and melt. I ran hot water on the outside of the cylinder to free the ice and melt it a bit.

Snow in contact with the soil melted but thermally isolated surfaces accumulated snow (weeds, bushes, grass, plywood not in contact with ground).

4/14/2016 7:00 AM T M M M M Got enough to make a trace of liquid show up in the graduated cylinder
4/15/2016 9:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Not sure if it was a trace or 0.01. But went with the higher value.
4/16/2016 8:30 AM 0.58 1.1 M 1.1 M WOW!! This was unexpected! There was 0.39" of liquid in graduated cyl so I'm assuming that was rain. We got 0.19" of rain that was left in the gauge before it got dark. and then we got more overnight. And then we got 0.19" SWE of snow in the funnel which was measured separately from the 0.39" of liquid using the how water method.
4/17/2016 8:30 AM 0.18 0.2 M 0.2 M waves of snow tha melted on contact. previous snow melted.
4/18/2016 9:00 AM 0.42 4.0 M 4.0 M Wow! How big is this storm system?! previous snow melted and got a whopping 4.0" of snow with 0.42SWE. Our cisterns will definitely overflow when this melts. Batteries at 24.9V (08:00/4/18/16 and 0 watts coming in. Cisterns at 40.0" (measured 4/17/16 afternoon after all melting. before this latest volley of snow). Cistern overflow is at 42".
4/19/2016 9:00 AM 0.32 T M T M Even more rain and snow. Trace accumulation of snow. That makes a total of 1.50" from this storm! HalleluYah!

4/29/2016 9:15 AM 0.25 M M M M Woke up to white ground but went back to sleep and almost all melted. Seems like it more rain than snow. No inner gauge was used and it was mostly liquid inside and 35F outside. Probably 0.1 to 0.2" accum. of snow.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
12/12/2015 12/13/2015 9:00 AM 2 0.26 M 1.40 Sick as a dog so did not go outside on the 12th to take data. There was overnight rain and it stayed above freezing and more rain earloy morning if memory serves. Then non to mid afternoon 13th snow started. Here is a copy of the comment in my 12/12/2015 "NA" daily report... Sick as a dog and did not dare go outside. It rained last night and this morning. I guesstimate about 0.1" of rain. As of 13:00, we have an accumulation of snow on ground and branches and weeds. Submitted multi-day report on the 13th.
12/31/2015 1/20/2016 5:20 PM 21 0.57 3.0 M At some point it was reported by neighbors that we had about a foot of snow on the ground. Powdery snow.
2/1/2016 2/02/2016 9:00 AM 2 0.21 2.2 M I made a report for 2/1/2016 just to give snow depth. I managed to get that reading at least. 2/1 late afternoon to morning 2/2/16 saw only a trace of snow. Just enough to cover the solar panels and reduce power output comments from 2/1/16 daily report Measured 1.5 to 2.0 inches of snow on the ground before heading to town at 9:45am. Snowing heavily all the way into town. Taos. Due to rain there was flash flooding at the Greater WOrld Community Subdivision where we live! Due to rain from the system. The "Land Dam" filled up enough to reach the overflow culverts but not enough to overwhelm them, PTL! 1.7" was reported for 2/1/16
