Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/2/2018 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Not much rain here, given all I drove through between Keystone and Glenwood. Both NOAA and Weather Underground promise real rain today.
10/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.29 M M M M A delightfully dark and rainy day yesterday. Slow, steady rain on and off all day. Cleared some at evening and is still partly clear this morning.
10/5/2018 7:00 AM 0.22 M M M M Light rain early this morning after a mix of rain and sun yesterday. The rain has been heavier and steady now for over an hour.
10/6/2018 7:00 AM 0.55 M M M M Rained all day yesterday. We drove through a real gully washer going into Glenwood Springs with lightening and lots of water. First time I've used my windshield wipers on high!
10/8/2018 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M Steady rain yet this morning so tomorrows data should show even more. Its been a wet week!
10/9/2018 7:00 AM 0.25 M M M M
10/10/2018 7:00 AM 0.35 M M M M
10/31/2018 7:00 AM 0.23 M M M M This is the total precipitation I found in the gage this morning and reflects whatever fell between October 20 and today. We were out on vacation/conference to Portland, OR, where it rained a bit more... Glad we had two umbrellas!
11/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.25 M M M M A skiff of snow was frozen with rain on the deck. The birds are all puffed up to stay warm!
11/4/2018 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M Cold morning, overcast. But I didn't need a flashlight to read the gage!
11/5/2018 7:00 AM 0.44 4.0 0.42 4.0 0.42 Snow! An icy mix coming down lightly all day yesterday and through most of the night. We had 2" by 4:30pm yesterday and a total of 4" this morning. Temps this morning are right at freezing and warmer temps expected today. I'll wait before shoveling the driveway...
11/12/2018 7:00 AM T T T M M Just a very light dusting last evening, the light snow that blows past the broom like a layer of feathers. Chilly morning at 13 degrees F, so naturally the heating went out last night. We'll be heading to the pool for a shower and then waiting for the guy from Bishop to come by.
11/23/2018 7:00 AM 0.10 1.0 0.08 M M Light snow, started last night as snow/rain mix. The roads are pretty slick, so its probably a good thing most people are taking the day off. It looks like the light snow will continue on and off through the day, with low clouds hanging on Sunlight peak and the top of the hogback to the east.
11/24/2018 7:00 AM 0.07 0.6 0.05 M M Light snow again this morning, but more is on the way!
11/25/2018 7:00 AM 0.42 4.6 0.41 5.0 M Wet rain/snow mix started at 1:00pm yesterday and quickly turned to straight snow. It was very windy, near blizzard conditions for a while but then calmed to a steady snowfall. It ended in time to get the dog out for a moonlight stroll before bed.
11/29/2018 7:00 AM 0.15 1.8 0.15 3.8 0.48 Snow overnight, starting late yesterday. The lowering clouds followed us back up from Grand Junction. Temperatures have been hovering right at freezing so I expect the light snow falling now may change more to rain.
12/1/2018 7:15 AM 0.22 3.0 0.16 4.7 0.54 Snow! And wind.... Light, fluffy stuff that's easy to shovel. It's supposed to be coming down all day and my horoscope said to stay home, so I think I will, except for a spell ringing the bell at City Market for Salvation Army.
12/2/2018 7:00 AM 0.05 0.7 0.05 M M A bit more snow, but not much as it turned out. Light, fluffy and cold! 6F this morning.
12/7/2018 7:00 AM 0.10 1.7 0.08 8.0 1.14 Light snow late in the day then heavier as evening came on and into the night. Powder. It was warm enough to melt some on the roads making things slick later on.
12/13/2018 7:00 AM 0.15 2.1 0.15 M M Snow started coming down heavily, then tampered off to a steady snowfall. There was 2.4 inches on the board when the snow ended. The wind came up at that time and Gus and I went for a walk around 9pm in a small ground blizzard. Swirling snow with a biting wind and brights stars overhead.
12/16/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 M M
12/22/2018 7:00 AM 0.05 0.5 0.05 M M Light snow that started coming down heavy after 7 and the sunrise. Now its pretty windy. We did get an additional inch before the wind came up.
12/24/2018 7:00 AM 0.30 2.8 0.30 M M More snow than I was expecting when I woke this morning. Still coming down.
12/25/2018 7:00 AM 0.12 2.0 0.12 11.0 1.48 Snow most of the day yesterday, with an additional 2.6" by noon. Then it tapered off with the sun coming out between the clouds by 3. Settling reduced the depth half an inch by 7am this morning.
12/26/2018 7:00 AM 0.30 3.7 0.30 M M Snow over night and still coming down lightly. It's supposed to keep up most of the day, then the temps nose dive. We're having a normal winter!
12/27/2018 7:00 AM T T T M M Barely a dusting, although it did get a bit heavier around 7:30.

I got the new snow measurements at 7am, but then had to get the dog out so the total measurement was taken at 7:20am. Not much difference, if any, from 7. We've had a mix of warmish days and cold nights. The total snow column was mostly granular ice in the bottom three inches.
1/1/2019 7:00 AM 0.20 1.9 0.20 M M Snow continued through the day yesterday, off and on, and into the night. Cold this morning. But then it's winter! Happy New Year!!

I do need to note that we were in Denver from the 4th to the 7th so I missed getting measurements for the 6 inches or so that we had during that time. I will get a total measurement later this morning and amend this submission. Its still dark outside...

2/4/2019 7:00 AM 0.20 1.0 0.20 M M Interesting day. Started with light snow, then a good dose of grouple pellets, then outright rain and back to wet snow. At 2pm we had an inch of the slushy stuff but by morning most of it had melted away except for what was in the gage. I did make a snow water measurement at 2pm along with the snow depth, and recorded what was in the tube.

2/7/2019 7:00 AM M 3.2 M M M My wife took the depth measure as I'm in Denver, but didn't get the water measure. She says it has been blowing mightily though, with ground blizzard condition. Tough dog walking!

Quite spectacular with the slushy mix of rain and snow with 1/4 to 1/2 inch soft hail stones. It all came down heavy for about 15-20 minutes. This morning it had all frozen into a watery white slurry of ice mixed with hail. Like a thick tapioca pudding. I did get some video and pictures of it.

6/23/2019 7:00 AM 0.04 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Rain here, in a short heavy burst yesterday afternoon. I was in Glenwood at the time, driving through a short but intense storm with large pea size hail and heavy rain that caused some street "flooding" to a few inches. Enough to get people fleeing Strawberry Days in Sayer Park soaked as passing cars driving too fast sprayed them with water. After that everything settled down. My cucumber planter has no drain holes and spent most of the day saturated from the previous day's rain. Still hasn't dried out much. Cold this morning, down to 36F here at the house. Good thing I brought the tomatoes inside!
