Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
5/1/2019 7:00 AM 0.03 T M 0.5 M Gauge was not in place until about noon on 4/30, with some rain and snow falling earlier - probably equivalent to another few hundredths.
5/2/2019 7:00 AM 0.02 T M T M Snow appeared to have just started.
5/3/2019 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Frosty morning, clear, upper 20s. Collected moisture likely from light snow that fell early yesterday. Not sure when it ended, because we left for Salida early. But afternoon wind and sunshine probably caused evaporation of some moisture from the light storm.

5/19/2019 7:00 AM T T M M M Top and inner graduate were removed from sleeve to capture possible snow and deal with freezing night. With periods of high winds, this may have allowed some collected moisture to evaporate before reading. We did have several short showers of graupel.

5/30/2019 7:00 AM 0.13 M M M M I was out of town until 4:30 pm. But ice and rain pelted car as I drove into the valley from the east. Road was covered with slush and surfy east of town.
