10/12/2016 7:38 AM 0.07 1.0 M M M The accumulation of new snow is an estimate. During the day, the majority of snow melted. There are many bare spots in the yard. We probably have left an inch of average snow depth remaining. I did not take a water equivalent as the amount was below 2 inches on the ground. What was measured in the gauge is probably a reasonable reading of the water equivalent of the snow that fell yesterday.

No core sample was taken. I took one yesterday and it probably is a close approximation as to what is on the ground today.

12/9/2016 8:12 AM 0.01 0.8 M 1.0 M Light snow in progress at time of observation. Actually, the total snow depth should be 0.8 inches. The trace of snow that was reported yesterday morning had disappeared during the day. What was recorded in the gauge for water equivalent should be the same or quite similar to what had fallen on the measuring table.

12/13/2016 7:05 AM 0.04 0.5 M 3.0 M Did not take a core sample of either the new snowfall or the total snow depth. The water equivalent in the gauge should suffice for the new snow. I took a core sample of the snow depth yesterday. I don't think that taking a core sample today would have changed the water equivalent that much. I would have done so had the new snow amounted to more than an inch.

2/1/2017 7:37 AM 0.25 5.0 0.28 10.5 2.32 Light snow in progress at time of observation. Began observation at 6:58 AM and finished getting the water equivalent of the total snow depth at 7:37 AM.
2/2/2017 7:55 AM T 0.1 T 9.0 M Some snow accumulated on the measuring table yesterday after my observation. However, it melted during the day. I'll have to estimate that it was no more than a tenth of an inch. Since I took a core sample of the total snow depth yesterday, and nothing significant fell between then and now, I did not do a core sample this morning.
2/3/2017 8:40 AM 0.01 0.1 M M M I did not measure the total snow depth this morning. Judging from the temperatures yesterday and the light amount of snow that fell, I did not think that the depth had changed much.

2/9/2017 7:15 AM 0.07 1.2 0.12 9.5 M I did not take a core sample of the total snow depth since the new snow that fell was under 2 inches. I may have some inaccurate readings to get the average total snow depth. There may be ice underneath the snow that I am not able to penetrate with the yardstick.
2/10/2017 7:25 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 M I think that this average total snow depth is more accurate than the report yesterday. I purchased a heavier rod that penetrated the ice layer to the ground and used this to help me, along with the yardstick, to get a better reading of the snow depth.

10/20/2016 11/03/2016 7:25 AM 15 0.30 0.0 M It ia possible that some evaporation took place since I took out the inner cylinder and funnel before leaving on vacation. So the reading of 0.30 inches may not be accurate.

12/15/2016 12/17/2016 10:25 AM 3 0.84 12.0 1.38 Depth of snow that fell during the time I last emptied the rain gauge and this morning was 12.0 inches and its water equivalent was 1.11 inches. I had a bout with bronchitis and that kept me from doing daily readings during this multi-day period.
3/25/2017 3/28/2017 7:25 AM 4 0.60 0.0 0.00 Light rain in progress at time of observation.
5/17/2017 5/24/2017 7:53 AM 8 0.76 M M There probably was some evaporation during this time. However, I had the funnel over the outer cylinder to minimize that. I'll be putting the inner cylinder in the gauge this morning. I think that freezing temperatures that could cause damage to the smaller cylinder are at a minimum now.
7/15/2017 7/16/2017 7:35 AM 2 0.01 0.0 0.00 Could not make the report for the morning of July 15. Had I been able to do so, it would have been no precipitation. The 0.01 measurement was for precipitation that occurred yesterday afternoon and early evening.
