It is possible that we had a light sprinkle or two. I did not observe anything near my station but drove through a couple of them about 40 miles East of here.

12/4/2016 7:00 AM 0.03 0.2 0.02 0.2 0.20 Freezing cold, 30 degrees; overcast skies, and snow falling lightly but steadily; w/calm air. If the lack of wind holds, this might be a snowfall like those we had when I was a child. The difference between the gauge and the board is because I still cannot find a good place for the board. It is either sheltered from the wind in certain directions or fully exposed to it, which means it usually reads low but could also be in a drift under the proper circumstances. Also, today the accumulation is patchy and it is possible the tempurature of the air and/or the board was above freezing when the snow started.
12/5/2016 7:00 AM 0.55 6.6 0.59 6.6 0.59 Freezing cold, 30 degrees; 29.09 Hg; overcast skies, w/a locally dense fog reducing visibility to between 1/2 and 3/4 mile; and calm air. We had 8" of measured snow when it quit but temps hoovering around 32 degrees overnight and warmer ground have caused considerable settling. I did not stick a ruler in the gauge last night to check that depth but, even though this was a heavy wet snow, it fell with little wind and was loosely packed, which would account for the original depth.
12/6/2016 7:25 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 4.9 0.51 Freezing cold, 30 degrees; 28.91 Hg; overcast skies, w/a locally dense fog limiting visibility to between 1/4 and 1/2 mile; calm air; and a light frost on the vehicle windows. Obviously, the snow has compressed more than it has evaporated or melted.
12/7/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.2 0.29 Quite cold, 20 degrees; 29.18 Hg; lightly overcast skies; w/strong light air gusting to a light breeze from the West. I am starting to see bare spots in the fields and under trees and, although there was much settling and melting, the snow, which has a hard crust, is still close to 3.5" deep in places. I measured one sample as indicated from the most prevalent depths measured.
12/8/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.8 0.24 Very cold, 13 degrees; 29.32 Hg; overcast skies; w/light air gusting to a strong light breeze from the West. The 'snow' cover is more an open lattice of ice granules so the depth is deceptive. The ground cover would be much less deep if the surface were not frozen in place.
12/9/2016 7:00 AM T T M 1.6 0.25 Quite cold, 18 degrees; 29.59 Hg; w/overcast skies; and light air, gusting to a light breeze, from the West. We had a few snow flakes floating around. Not enough to even call a flurry.
12/10/2016 6:50 AM T T M 0.8 0.27 Very cold, 13 degrees; 29.29 Hg; overcast skies; w/calm air.
12/11/2016 7:00 AM 0.11 1.5 0.09 2.2 0.25 Freezing cold 24 degrees; 29.12 Hg; overcast skies; w/calm air. We got lucky, nice light fluffy snow this time, and not much of it. And, from the looks of the radar, we might miss out on round 2.
12/12/2016 7:30 AM 0.25 2.4 0.22 3.8 0.43 Quite cold, 15 degrees; 29.15 Hg; overcast skies; w/a light breeze gusting to a gentle breeze from the WSW. I would credit the difference between the gauge and the new snow on the ground to the fact that there was some wind this time and my board is exposed. And the fact that the total water content is almost double while the depth is only just over half as much more because the old snow is compacted ice with little depth but much water content while the new snow is light and loosely packed.
12/13/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.6 0.31 Very cold, 10 degrees; 29.23 Hg; overcast skies; and calm air. I do not believe we had any snow yesterday but we did have some drifting and, although I can see some bare earth in the worked fields, the ground is covered, even under trees. I may have gotten into an area where there was more old snow remaining from the 4th for todays readings.
12/14/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.2 0.46 Very cold, 6 degrees; 29.26 Hg; overcast skies; w/strong light air gusting to a strong light breeze from the SW. I know we did not have any new snowfall yesterday, so I must have taken my sample from a drift of mostly older snow.
12/15/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 M M Extremely cold, -9 degrees; 29.47 Hg; mostly clear skies, w/a streak of clouds above the Southern horizon and wispy hints of clouds elsewhere w/a beautiful full moon; and lightair gusting to a light breeze, generally from a westerly direction. We had strong winds yesterday which blew the recent snow into drifts and scoured the fields so that it is impossible to get an accurate reading of snow depth. Plus, it is too cold to go out there and take several readings trying to find an average. Sorry. My guess would be that we have about the same amout of snow but it is just rearranged into drifts.
12/16/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 0.32 Very cold, 12 degrees; overcast skies; w/lightair gusting to a gentle breeze generally from the East. Since it is warmer today, I took several measurements ranging from 1/2" to about 4-1/2" and selected a sample of about 2" depth because there is also bare ground/grass showing in places. Again, I would attribute the high water content to the layer of ice remaining from the Dec 4th snowfall covered in a thin layer of windblown drift.
12/17/2016 7:00 AM 0.07 4.7 0.53 1.5 0.49 Quite cold, 18 degrees; 28.82 Hg; overcast skies; w/calm air. Once again, my board must be in a drift as we had some wind during the snow squalls - which would account for the small reading in the gauge - but that is all new snow recorded there.
12/18/2016 7:00 AM 0.08 2.3 0.23 5.0 0.69 Bone chilling cold, -4 degrees; 29.38 Hg; clear skies; w/strong light air gusting to a gentle breeze from the West. I only took one total depth measurement because of the cold and the fact that the snow was drifting as it fell, which also accounts for the low measurement in the gauge and the possibly high measurement on the board.
12/19/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 4.0 0.55 Very cold, -13 degrees; 29.71 Hg; clear skies; w/calm to very light air from the East; and a decent frost. Once again, due to the cold, and drifted conditions, you get one measurement for total snow, which includes some ice from the first snowfall.
12/20/2016 7:00 AM T T M 3.5 0.65 Quite cold, 19 degrees; 29.29 Hg; basically overcast skies, w/a clear streak along the horizon running from the East to the SW; a light breeze gusting to a strong moderate breeze generally from the WSW; and no frost.
12/21/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.0 0.44 Quite cold, 19 degrees; 29.21 Hg; apparently overcast skies, w/a streak of clear sky running along the horizon from East to SSW; calm to light air; and a decent soft frost. Yesterday's winds have changed the snow cover to one of bare fields w/drifts filling the low spots, such as ditches, and in the lee of bldgs & trees, etc. And, once again, I seem to be in a drift of old heavy snow for my total reading
12/25/2016 7:00 AM 0.02 M M 1.0 0.17 Freezing cold, 31 degrees; 29.444 Hg; overcast skies, w/a light mist hanging in the air; and gusty light air from the ENE
12/26/2016 7:10 AM 0.43 M M 0.5 0.15 Cold, 39 degrees; 29.00 Hg; mostly clear skies, w/a bank of clouds along the horizon from East to WSW and higher across the Western sector; and light air gusting to a strong light breeze from the SW. I am really rounding up to get the 1/2" depth - although there is more open ground than covered ground, where the snow remains, it is from drifts or in sheltered areas like field furrows and ditches, where it is still quite deep. As far as I know we did not have any new snow.
12/27/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M Quite cold, 22 degrees; 29.23 Hg; apparently clear skies; w/gusty light air from the WNW; and no dew or frost. Yesterday's warm temps and strong winds melted/evaporated all but the deepest snow banks where plowed or in ditches.
12/28/2016 7:10 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M Freezing cold, 23 degrees; 29.12 Hg; mostly clear skies, w/streaks of thin clouds beginning to become visible in the East; gusty light air varying from the SSW to the SSE; and a light frost. We still have some snow where it was deepest from drifting or bring plowed off roads.
12/29/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M Freezing cold, 27 degrees; 28.97 Hg; basically clear skies, w/a few streaks along the Eastern horizon; w/a strong light breeze gusting to a strong moderate breeze from the West; and a light frost.
12/30/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 T M Quite cold, 18 degrees; 29.21 Hg; possibly mostly cloudy skies, w/a few streaks of thicker clouds low in the Eastern quadrant and thin clouds beginning to become visible overhead; strong light air from the West; and a very light frost. Yesterday's wind helped to remove most of the snow in the fields, leaving just the deepest drifts, and where plowed into the ditches or sheltered from the wind.

1/6/2017 7:00 AM T T M T M Bone chilling cold, -4 degrees; 29.29 Hg; apparently clear skies, w/just the edge of a cloud bank visible along the Southern horizon; calm air; and a decent frost. We had two or three brief flurries of fine snow which did not even amount to a dusting.

There are a few small white patches that must be ice remaining in the lowest protected areas or where the snow was piled the deepest from plowing. I believe all our precipitation was rain but it di appear quite white for a brief period.

2/28/2017 7:00 AM M M M M M My March 1 report should have been a multiday report. I usually catch myself before submitting but this time I did not.

10/25/2016 10/26/2016 7:00 AM 2 0.11 M M Current conditions: Dark, ugh, & extremely cool, 44 degrees; 29.26 Hg; overcast skies; w/a light breeze, gusting to a gentle breeze, from the South. I am not sure if we got anything on the 24th or if this is all from overnight.
11/26/2016 11/27/2016 7:15 AM 2 M M M Current conditions: Freezing cold, 29 degrees; 29.15 Hg; partly cloudy skies, w/a broken layer of high thin cirrus clouds, mainly in the East; calm air; and a decent frost. After wiping the outer surface of the gauge, it still weighed enough to say I got 0.03" of precip, but it appeared to be mainly condensation with no liquid in the bottom.
12/22/2016 12/24/2016 7:00 AM 3 0.07 1.5 0.51 conditions: Freezing cold, 32 degrees; 29.23 Hg; overcast skies; w/calm air; and no frost but a layer of porous ice on the streets & Sidewalks w/no buildup on tree limbs. We had a mixture of precipitation yesterday w/no real snow accumulation due to above freezing temps. The high ratio of water equivalent to snow depth is due to this fact combined with the layer of ice left from the Dec. 4th snow trapping rain in the snow cover.
