The snowboard had a fair amount of ice in the base layer because of melting and thawing; it was hard to cut through. On the lawn, I suspect that some that melted just sank in.

2/20/2018 7:00 AM 0.16 0.7 0.05 M M There is definitely .16" water equivalent of snow in my gauge. I wandered around and measured the depth of snow on every flat surface in my yard, including the snowboard, and never found over an inch. In fact, the average is what I reported, .7". Much of the water equivalent in the gauge may have fallen as icy snow yesterday that sank into the ground because it had previously been warm? Just a guess.

3/6/2018 7:00 AM 0.29 4.1 0.29 M M Wow, so much wind! So many drifts. However, no drifts are much more than my knee, and many many places have blown totally bare. My gauge had a little over 4" of snow, the snowboard less than .3, several other sheltered spots I usually check had 1.5". Tough to calculate an average! This is my best guess.

In unprotected areas, there is much less snow and a lot of bare ground. The depth I reported in "total snow and ice" is a pretty good guesstimate.
