Brief periods of light rain started yesterday around 11:40 a.m. Covered windshield of car with a mat, but wasn't necessary with temps above zero. Didn't last long and today, there's no evidence of freezing rain. Light, scattered flakes at 6:00 a.m.. Wind decreasing (was very strong last night) but snow moving nearly horizontally over course of the morning. Snow ended around noon. Next to nothing in gauge, so 0.2 mm reading is from snowboard snow core. |

Lots of melting going on with yesterday's daytime temp around 4-6*C (wasn't home to check temp). Puddles on ground (frozen at observation time). Rain gauge had water, not ice, in it. Lots of bare ground showing - maybe 50% in the open, tall grass prairie meadows. Snow board is located in a forest opening where the only bare ground is where the deer have trampled. Here, snow depth ranged from 8cm to 16 cm, but mostly around 8-12 cm. |

Light flurries started at 10:40 am and lasted approx. 1 hour. Someone knocked over my snowboard (probably a deer), so no reading from there today. Total accumulation of snow ranges from 7.5-13 cm in the forest opening where my snowboard is. In the open fields, bare ground is about 50%.

Actual rain gauge amount was 1.6 ml, but snow board reading was more accurate. More snow and ice stuck to outside of rain gauge than landed inside. Ppt'n started as rain and turned to wet snow and than large, light flakes within minutes. Had to punch through a layer of ice 1.8cm from surface to measure total depth of snow. |

Nuts! I put the gauges above the wood stove to melt and when I came back they were dry! Melted amount is approximate based on past experience. (Gauge value is the same as snow board because snow board is more accurate.) Snow ended overnight. Accumulated depth ranges from 41-46 cm with average of 43 cm. |

Entered snow board amount as rain gauge value. Actual rain gauge value is 11.8 mm. Light rain started at 6:20 pm and soon turned into heavy rain. Rain turned to freezing rain around 9:00 pm and then to snow after midnight. Very heavy. Found one broken tree across the trail to my snow board. It was growing nearly horizontally, but twisted and broke from the weight of the snow on its branches. |

The north third of the area I'm measuring snow is totally clear of snow (it gets the most sun). Seems like the trail I've been measuring snow along is going to be the last to melt - it has more snow than nearly anywhere else around. Today's value reflects an average of the total of this area (i.e. range of 0 - 39 cm). If I just measured along the trail I've been measuring all winter, the range would be 22 - 39 cm.) |

Total snow depth ranges from 0 - 34 cm. In the open meadows, the only snow remaining is the drifts around the willows and other taller vegetation. In general, snow cover is about 20%. Moisture is either sinking into ground or evaporating. Roughed and sharp-tailed grouse drumming/dancing, and robins singing! |
