11/2/2016 7:00 AM 0.19 0.1 M 0.0 M Over the course of 5000+ daily reports as well as numerous multi-day reports spanning about 17 years, today's observation was the most puzzling and difficult to describe and summarize that I can remember. We had a fair amount of light rain (and thunder) yesterday afternoon, but I did not attempt any observations after dark, nor did I make any casual out-the-window observations of snowfall or any other precipitation. It appears, however, that there was some additional precip at some point or points through the night, because this morning, at 33 F, the grass and foliage-covered areas (as well as our elevated wooden step treads, vehicle windshields, and solar panels) were "covered" with a sort of "splotchy blanket" of icy, white, crystalized encrustations. I say "splotchy" because some areas seemed almost bare, while others were obvious to the eye -- looking almost like palm-of-the-hand-sized crystaline blossoms -- and seemed to have collected or attracted more moisture than immediately adjoining areas. Bare soil areas were damp, but not frozen, the moisture apparently melted by the warmer earth temperature. The unevenly distributed white coverage on the grass was so thin that I didn't even notice it until this morning and was able to view the landscape close up. It was difficult to say whether I was seeing frost or -- what I finally decided on -- the result of some unknown combination of a variety of precipitation forms, perhaps including rain, sleet, very light snow, and frost. All that I can say is that what I saw this morning just didn't quite look like a normal frost (although all of the elevated surfaces were frozen), nor did it look like a dusting of snow. There were flake-like crystals in those "blossoms" that made me think "snow," but those flakes were neither evenly distributed across the meadow, nor were they "loose" individuals. Everything that I observed was encased in ice.... As the King of Siam once emphatically stated, "Is a PUZZLEMENT!"

5/18/2017 7:00 AM 1.26 16.0 M 15.0 M Wow! Biggest snowstorm of the season (and it appears we're not yet at the mid-point!): 15 inches of snow on the previously bare ground at 7a.m., preceded by rain yesterday afternoon, for a total of 1.26 moisture. But that measurement is almost certainly on the shy side, due to the fact that the snow fell at about a 40 degree angle to the horizontal; and due also to the fact that my 4" cylinder was overtopped by several inches, and the mounded snow above the cylinder formed a tapered cone -- i.e., it was not a full, uniform, 4" in diameter. I stuffed that cone down into the cylinder, but my guess is that the true moisture content delivered by 7a.m. by this ongoing storm was 1.35-1.40 inches. Confession: I was too cold-and-wet-footed (due to snow pouring in over my 12" boot tops, melting, and bathing my bare feet in puddles of ice water) during my 10-minute measurements trudge to attempt a core sample. Call me lazy, but at least it doesn't appear that I'm going to lose any toes. However, you look at it, this is a storm that it appears will live up to -- or exceed -- the 24-36 predicted inches before the weather gods remember that it's Spring.
5/19/2017 7:00 AM 1.61 19.0 M 28.0 M In the 40-hour period between Wednesday afternoon and 7a.m. this morning we've received 2.87" of moisture, which comes to 20+% of our average annual total!

5/23/2017 7:00 AM 0.11 0.1 M 8.0 M Hi, Nolan. My measured New Snow Depth and my Total Precip Amount were both .10 and that is what I entered on the form. This resulted in an "Error" message saying that they should not be the same. I can appreciate the intent of the message, but I think it should be changed to a "Warning" to check one's entries, and NOT an "Error" that utomatically results in an absolute refusal to save the report. The fact is that these two entries CAN legitimately be the same, since Total Precip Amount, by definition, includes forms other than snow. Such was my situation these past 24 hours, where Total Precip Amount included not only a non-accumulatng rain/snow mix, but sleet and small hail yesterday afternoon amounting to .09 water content. (I checked before changing the collector tube out at 6:15pm so as to be prepared in case we got a big wet snow overnight). New snow of 0.1 inch depth did fall overnight and was on the board this a.m. The water content of that new snow was 0.01 inch. So 0.10 Total Precip Amount and 0.1 New Snow Depth ARE the correct amounts. Due to the system requirements, I have changed my Total Precipitation figure to .11. Not a big deal, but why have an error warning system that forces one to enter erroneous data? Okay, rant over. On the bright side, snow cover is melting... slowly.

This reading (.28") is probably quite a bit lower than the true total precipitation of the period, due to evaporation, which would be enhanced by the considerable winds common to our area blowing over the top of the tube. I was surprised to find any moisture in the tube at all!
2/2/2017 2/09/2017 7:00 AM 8 M T 0.00 No accumulated moisture in the uncovered outer tube.
2/11/2017 3/04/2017 7:00 AM 22 0.20 2.0 M Been gone a long time. My best guess is that there was more than .20 precip over these three weeks, but with wind and no top on the big cylinder, probably lost some to evaporation.
3/6/2017 3/08/2017 7:00 AM 3 M 0.5 M No liquid in the large tube, but given all the sun and wind it's impossible to know if there was any precipitation
4/4/2017 4/07/2017 7:00 AM 4 0.29 0.0 M Because of evaporation losses due to sun and wind during my absence, my guess is that the TRUE precip total for the four days was somewhat more than the .29 that I found remaining in the large tube (no funnel) and entered above. Best I could do. -Wayne
