I was surprised it stuck so soon bec. of the warm weather we have been having all week. By 1pm there was 1 inch; by 3pm there was 2 inches, and even though it continued snowing, not more than 1/2 inch more accumulated. It may have just been weighed down because it was so fluffy. At 9:30 am it was 32 degrees; at 4pm it was 29; at 6pm, it was 25 (and dark outside, but a very light snow continuing). At 9pm I saw it was no longer snowing.

12/3/2016 9:00 AM 0.04 1.1 M 1.1 M Looked outside at 4am and saw very sparse snow fall, and again at 9am. Snow got heavier at about 11am. I went out to drive NE to town at 12 noon and the roads were so icy that I turned around and went back. The highway was closed to traffic from 5:30 pm to 6:30pm due to two separate accidents where two single cars slid into a rock wall. Many people said the 3 miles NE of Pinewood Springs was just ice, and took approx. 45 min. to an 2 hours to get thru. At 7:30pm the sand and salt finally made the road driveable. Here the snow only accumulated to about 1". Nothing new overnight. At 12 midnight it was 12 degrees. In morning at 10 am it was 25 degrees.

At 9:35am the wind and strong gusts started; and continued all day. 4:20pm sunset it was 34 degrees. Next morning 8am it was 42, and some wind gusts started again.
12/11/2016 9:00 AM 0.01 0.3 M 1.0 M Lots of wind gust during the daylight hours, but not a solid wind. Strong enough to blow my wool cap off a few times while I worked in the garden. It was nice enough to just wear a heavy sweater. Sunny. By 5pm it was 45 degrees, with sunset.== Next morning only in the 20s and snowy fog covering the mountains. Overnight it snowed. A fine layer of snow covered tree branches. Bright, but white sky.

In morning (8 or 9am) Fog "snow mist" covered mountains from sight (they are about 1/2 to 1 mile from me). In afternoon, got overcast and darker and looked like snow but wasnt; must be a mist. Melted snow froze in afternoon. Next day at 8am it was 35 degrees. That's one of the warmest mornings we've had.

12/16/2016 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Very windy day. When I got up at 9am, it had already started (I cant be sure it wasnt going on while I was sleeping; but usually it wakes me up). All day constant gusts of approximately 70 mph. (a neighbor, within a mile, said she measured 73mph; another one said it was whistling around her house, which was unusual for her) It got sparser about 7pm and gone by about 8pm. Warmer than normal; approx. in the 50s. I was able to do some mulching outside in just a sweater. The driveway was about 1/3 covered in snow, averaging 1 inch in depth, and by the end of the day, it was all gone. Although there is still some in shadowed pockets. Next morning, only 30 at 8:30am, so it wont be as warm; but it is sunny and quiet.
12/17/2016 9:00 AM 0.29 4.2 M 4.2 M Day started out warm and sunny. Snow accumulated late afternoon. Snow started sometime around 3 or 3:30pm. At 4pm it was 27 degrees and lightly snowing, somewhat accumulating. I drove to Estes on hwy. 36, and in about 4-5 miles (away from home) it turned to rain or nothing. Estes was 37 degrees. At 5:30pm I returned home, and Estes was just wet and 34 degrees; but, again, within about 2 miles from home, the snow was coming down so heavy that you could barely see 20 ft. in front of you. About 1 inch accumulated. It was 20 degrees. By midnight there was 4 inches; about 1/4 inch more accumulated overnight. In morning no snow and bright. I think it was -6 below zero at midnight (I wrote down 6, but forgot to put - or +); but sure it was -4 below zero at 9am.
12/18/2016 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M At 9am it was -4 degrees below zero. It was sunny and got up to 3 degrees at 12:20pm. By 3:20pm, around sunset time, it was zero. The snow was shrinking in size,probably due to weight more than melting. It was 3" at sunset. By midnight, 12, it was -7 below zero. By morning, it was 12 degrees already at 9am, so it will probably be a warmer day.
12/19/2016 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.7 M At 9am it was 12 degrees, looking like it might be a warmer day. At 4:20pm it was 11 degrees, so the warmth must have come and gone fast. At 3am it was 20 degrees. Then at 9am it was 27 degrees. A few wind breezes during the day. Mostly sunny.

12/26/2016 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M At 9:30am it was 31 degrees; 10am it was 28 degrees, and some wind. About 1pm or 1:30pm it got very windy with long lasting gusts in the 70 to 80mph range. It was hard to tell if it was constant wind or if it was gusts, as it just went on and on. It was stronger than usual (the "usual 70mph") as I was almost knocked over on my deck. At 2:30pm it was 32 degrees. Grey gloomy all day. Lost our electricity in afternoon for 5 hours. Winds calmed down drastically in evening, about 7pm. At 8:30pm it was 30 degrees. Next morning, some sun, and lighter winds, maybe in the 30mph range. There seems to be the same amount of snow on the ground. I am surprised that it didnt blow it away. The gravel driveway is still covered, and about 60% of the rest of the land.

At 1:20 am it was 26 degrees. At 7am approx. there was a small amount of scraple(? - the hard balls of snow).

The deck covered 50% (50% bare) at 12:30am and it was 10 degrees. Next morning there was about 3" of snow. In some places it was 2.5" and others 3.8", but 3 seemed to be the most common measurement. It was light and fluffy, and could be brushed away with a broom. It felt pleasant, despite the low temperatures; prob. bec. of no wind. Overcast. It was still very lightly snowing.

I didnt see it snow during the day, but there was a layer of snow on the deck. Some may have been from falling snow from the tree boughs, but there was some in the gauge so I thought I should record it. Sunny day but no noticeable melting; it must be weighing down, as it is now 7 inches deep.

1/9/2017 9:50 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.5 M I'm going to post the temperatures for the day, but I wanted to start by saying the wind started about 11:36pm (when I heard the first really strong wind gust), and got steady (almost constant high winds) at about 12:30am. It was in the 75-80mph range. It blew all night, but I dont know when it got milder. In the morning at 9:30am it was more like 30-40 mph gusts. the 50 ft. tall pine trees swayed in the wind.

Streets had ice from the earlier melting snow, and a new layer of snow on top. The snow was wet and left footprints in it. I was surprised that this morning there was no new snow overnight (since looking outside at midnight), and it was only 1/2". Next morning had blue-grey skies, and bright.

2/2/2017 9:20 AM 0.06 0.8 M 1.8 M At 9:30am it was 23 degrees. There was a fog/mist in the air. It was visible to me -- starting about 300 feet from my home (looking at the neighbor's house "in a mist"). The trees there were frosted so heavy that it looked like snow; I had to strain to figure it out, and compare it to trees on my property. I found out latter when I got in my car in late afternoon that it was only on the EAST side of the trees. At 1am I saw about 1/2" of snow on the railing, and the deck was covered in ice (I almost fell when I stepped outside).== I went out at 11:30am and it was clear and still, and when I came back at 4:30-5pm everything was covered in a thin layer of ice. The gravel on my driveway was icy and I almost fell, as it was deceiving (you couldnt tell it was icy). Sometime between 4am and 9am another 1/2" of snow fell. It was light and fluffy. At 9:20 am it was 14 degrees and would stay that way for a few more hours.
2/3/2017 9:20 AM T T M 1.8 M A cold day. At 9:20am it was 14 degrees and stayed there all day and into night..even at 1am and next morning at 9am. (It went to 15 at 10am for maybe a couple of hours). New snow that was barely measureable; and when melted didnt quite reach the .01 The pine trees are still heavily frosted. But the deck and driveway is no longer icy.
2/4/2017 9:00 AM T M M 1.0 M At 8 pm it got very windy, strong gusts of approx. 90mph, whipping around in different directions. Tall trees swaying. Got some debris going at the west side of house, which is rare. At first I thought it was a mix of new snow and hail falling, as it clinked when he hit my front door, and small chunks covering the deck; but then realized it was the ice on the trees breaking off and flying in the wind. There seemed to be "rain" in the air too, but I think it was just from the melting snow/ice. It was 31 degrees (8:30pm); and at 1:15 am it got to 40 degrees and still same strong winds. Then at 1:35am it got quiet and wind stopped. The next gust was 5 full minutes later, and was noticeably milder. Some wind the rest of the night, and in the morning, maybe 9am, it was just a strong breeze. Sunny. The snow level is from 3/4" to 1.5" covering about 40-50% of the land.

I looked outside at the tall 40 ft pine trees swaying in the wind, about every 1/2 hr to make sure they were still sturdy. Some heavy plastic furniture which has not moved in months, and were tucked away in corners of the deck, were moved to odd spots about 10 feet away. The winds stopped about 5-5:30 pm. A few gusts now and then came back some time after that, but nothing like previously. Continued thru the night.

4/19/2017 8:00 AM T 0.0 M M M pleasant day; not as hot as they predicted; not any wind to worth mentioning; sunny. UPDATE: I forgot to add that strong wind gusts woke me up at 6am this morning 4/19. My daughter said she went outside for a cigarette at 6-6:10am and it was so windy, she could barely walk against it; probably 90mph. Next, ...there were no clouds in the sky, and yet she got soaked (wet hair/jacket). It was coming from the south, which is rare for us. The tall 40-50 ft. trees were bending in the wind. By 8am, when I got up, it was calm.
4/20/2017 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mostly sunny. Wind on and off, in the 30-40mph range.

4/22/2017 9:00 AM 0.31 1.0 M 1.0 M It is .10 of rain, and .21 of snow precip. // It was a sunny day and started to rain about 1-2pm. I emptied out the gauge when it turned to snow at about 5:30pm, and it continued into the night, pretty steady. It was so wet and heavy that at 6:45pm it blocked my satellite dish on my roof. At 11:45pm it wasnt snowing, but a heavy fog in the air (the lite up house across the street was in the mist); and 38 degrees. In morning, not snowing, 37 degrees at 8:30am, sun & clouds. It was still looking like snow, not complete mush, on the railings, and trees.

4/25/2017 8:00 AM 0.23 M M M M Some rain clouds and some wind during the day. Rain started about 5:30pm till about 7:30pm.

In the morning, it was sunny, with a few rain clouds, and another .02 in the gauge.
4/26/2017 8:30 AM 0.01 M M M M At 10am it was 50 degrees and overcast. At 1:30pm it rained then mixed with tiny snow balls for about 5-10 min. Rained again briefly lightly in evening and overnight. It barely got the deck wet (was wet this morning). Sunny morning; blue skies and white clouds; pleasant temps. The inside sides of the gauge's barrel had a lot of raindrops on it, but no accumulation at the bottom.
4/27/2017 9:00 AM T M M M M Some blue skies, some rain clouds, and occasional sprinkles. At 10am it was 50 degrees. Something as yesterday -- the gauge had fairly big raindrops on the sides, on the bottom, but no accumulation. They keep saying snow, so I didnt put the insert into the barrel. They're saying possible rain/snow, but I'm putting the insert gauge in the barrell today and see what happens. I can take it out at sunset, in case it cools down. But looks like in the 50s.
4/28/2017 8:00 AM 0.08 M M M M At 10:30 am it was 44 degrees; the rain started. At 2:30pm there was .08 in the gauge, and the rain had stopped. Blue sky, and sunny. The deck was a bit damp at midnight and there was almost .01 in the gauge. Next morning sunny; blue skies; felt warm enough to go out with a cotton shirt.
4/29/2017 9:20 AM 0.36 7.0 M 4.0 M The precipitation includes ice on the bottom and snow on top, in the gauge. / Day began with sunny skies and warm/comfortable to sit outside. At 11:30am it started to snow heavy with rice like snow. While it made the deck wet, there was lots of visible snow too on the deck(not melting). Every 10 minutes it would slow down and then come back heavy,and sometimes bigger flakes. By 2:15pm there was 1 inch of fluffy snow accumulated (it would accumulate and then melt and then accumulate again). By dusk, it had become mostly wet (not snow) on the deck. At 4:30pm it was 36 degrees. At 5:30pm it was 34 degrees, and it started to snow heavy again; I couldnt see the mountains (1/2 mile). At 7:30pm it was 30 degrees, and a heavy fog, so I couldnt see 300 feet. I went out at 10:30pm and the new layer was 1" and looked like corn flakes on the top layer; was 36 degrees; and the snow on the deck had become icy (I couldnt shovel it).// Next morning at 9:20am it was 26 degrees and 4 inches of light snow, on top of a thin layer of either ice or slush. So that is a total of 7 inches of snow, some of which melted away and then came back. It was still snowing lightly.
4/30/2017 9:30 AM 0.06 0.6 M 4.0 M Snowed lightly on and off during the day, and barely any accumulation. At 12 midnight it was 22 degrees and was windy. Also windy next morning.

It was pounding down at 8 am when I got up, and at 9am when I measured it. Grey skies; it was so dark I didnt realize that it was 8am.
5/11/2017 9:00 AM 0.83 M M M M My last report at 9am said that it was still raining; it stopped at 10am. It started up again maybe an hour later.

At 1am, there was .39 in the gauge (and raining heavy) and 45 degrees. At 9am there was .10 in the gauge and not raining, and 48 degrees.= Next morning, rainclouds in the sky and little sections of blue showing, and bright. While the stream next to my house is full and loud (like spring runoff), there was not flooding streams or damage on the property. This is quite surprisingly with two days of very heavy rain, it seems to be soaking it up well. The grass is about 5 inches tall.
5/12/2017 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mostly sunny day; got nicer than I expected. At 4:20pm it was 60 degrees. No sign of rain puddles by end of day.

Got darker about 1:30-2pm and lots of thunder in the distance. Started to rain early evening...maybe 4-5pm. Gauge was 1.02 rain water. Overnight it snowed. Mid-way thru, it all melted. I was woke up 3 times during the night/morning with noise of dropping clumps of snow. The ground was covered in potholes in morning; still snowing. Tree/pine/bush branches bent over with weight of snow, touching ground.
5/19/2017 9:30 AM 1.07 15.5 M 11.0 M Snow began maybe? late morning or noonish, and heavy rest of day and into evening. == My internet and electricity were down== here are my notes finally! = Continuous snowing: 1pm 2.5" // 2pm 3.5" //4pm 4" and 35 degrees = .82 precipitation // 5pm 1" // 6pm 1" fine snow // I do not know the exact time it stopped, but at midnight 12:15am the snow had stopped, and 3.5" new snow; and .25 precipitation. Although there was 15.5" total fallen during the day, it had settled down to 11" at midnight. // next morning 11" of snow on ground (some settling happened); total day's precip. 1.07, no new snow/precip since midnight. Not snowing in morning; at 9:30am it was 38 degrees; bright but grey sky. It was a wet, heavy snow, and the bottom layer (maybe 1") was almost slush, but did not freeze. The tree and bush branches were laden with several inches of heavy snow and bending over, some weaker ones touching the ground. In morning, large sections of snow were melting and falling off the trees, making the yard look like a bomb site, and loud enough to wake me up inside a few times. I still had to go around and knock it off low hanging trees and fragile bushes. The small stream by my house had rapidly moving water in it.
5/20/2017 9:00 AM M M M M M In morning, large sections of snow were melting and falling off the trees, making the yard look like a bomb site, and loud enough to wake me up inside a few times. I still had to go around and knock it off low hanging trees and fragile bushes, and utility cables/lines. The small stream by my house had rapidly moving water in it; and rivulets formed along the large boulders. Snowed and rained a little during the day. At 1:30pm there were big raindrops on the (shoveled off) deck that looked like splatters; it looked worse than it was (not much water falling or accumulating). The high was about 40 degrees. Next morning it was 53 degrees at 9am and sunny. About 90% of Snow was melted off tree limbs. I need to find my notes to fill in the amount of precipitation and snowfall; my electricity was off and internet down, so life was a mess. But it was very little in snow and/or rain. // 5/20 I shoved the snow behind my car, and it was very wet and heavy; especially the bottom inch or so was soaked. The ground was also soaked underneath. I could see the snow level shrinking as I shoveled in mid-afternoon. And it was sliding off the car and a water running down the gutters, but the roof still looked covered with snow.

It looked like little air bubbles in the rain puddle on the deck railing, and I had to look closer to see what was happening. It was hail about 1/4" in size and eventually 1/4" apart from each other (the bubbles were a lot larger than the hail, about 1" in size). It was 46 degrees. It stopped at 3:50pm. It was opaque white in color. Rain continued for a while. At 9 pm there was .40 in the gauge, and not raining. Next morning overcast but no rain.
