10/4/2018 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Warm windy fall day yesterday, especially early in the day and then the wind pick up out of the northeast and the temperatures plummeted 20 degrees in an hour (we were at a high school unified football game). Rain came overnight sometime; ground was mostly dry this morning.
10/5/2018 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Rain in the afternoon - I wasn't paying attention as to when it happened, my bicycle seat had a little water on it. Dew this morning.

10/9/2018 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Welcome precipitation :)
10/10/2018 7:00 AM 0.03 0.1 M M M It snowed early this morning, but most surfaces were warm and had no snow. Of the ones that did, there was ~0.1"
10/11/2018 7:00 AM 0.11 0.6 M M M This was hard to measure because the ground is still very warm and I was not at home when it snowed. I was ~1.5 miles away and although I didn't measure it, it looked like at least an inch at the peak of snowing. I did a ~20:1 estimate and put in 0.6 for the snow.

10/13/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny day (yesderday) - managed to get a couple loads of laundry dried :) Good day for the CSU homecoming parade
10/14/2018 7:00 AM 0.41 5.8 M M M Beautiful sunny day then the abrupt change ~7PM. Horizontal winds last night and warm ground so it was very hard to measure. The gauge melted amount (0.32) is suspect (visually drifted and not as much as on the ground - underestimate), so I used a core value instead. Variable depth around the yard ranging from 5 to 9, with an average around 6, so I used a spot that was 5.8". I was amazed that snow appeared compacted into needles on the north east side of the spruce trees.

11/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very windy last night! We had a some plastic lawn chairs, a recycle bin, and a large water container turned over and moved. Christman field is ~a mile away and it had a 70 mph gust. (I believe it). It could have rained, but I didn’t hear or see it,

11/18/2018 7:00 AM 0.10 0.6 M M M Gauge was 0.08 and the core was 0.12, so I averaged the two. It was a little breezy earlier in the day.

1/24/2019 7:00 AM 0.07 1.3 0.07 1.5 M It was very windy and didn’t look to have as much in the gauge as on the ground. I didn’t have time to melt it or do a core (but did one at the end of the day - by the end of the day however, the snow in the gauge had melted and refrozen and both days were 0.04 with a core of 0.14, so I split the core measurement between the 2 days of 0.07 each)
1/25/2019 7:00 AM 0.07 1.0 M 2.0 M The core was 0.14 for the total storm snow (at 5 PM on the 24th). The snow had melted and refrozen during the day and was 0.04 - same as yesterday, so I split the core measurement between the 2 days of 0.07 each. I estimated the new snow as 1.0” since the total core was 1.8”

3/2/2019 8:30 AM 0.34 5.5 M M M Snow started a by 8 PM last night. I woke up at 4:15 and it was very bright out. There was ~3” on the front porch railing. I fell back to sleep and slept in :) I measured between 5 and 6” in the yard. The core was 5.5” and melted to 0.34. The gauge was visually sparser and melted to 0.28”. I felt the core was more representative and used that. Snowing lightly at 8:30. If it’s been snowing like this, since 7, I’m likely 0.01 or 0.02 more. Yeah for the moisture.
3/3/2019 8:00 AM 0.16 2.2 0.16 6.0 M Cold - some snow settling. The snow was denser this morning - like small graupel. My husband mentioned that even though there wasn't much snow, he resorted to the snowblower because the snow kept sliding off the shovel and was more work.
3/4/2019 7:00 AM T T M M M Not quite enough to measure 0.01. Yesterday morning, it was snowing like it was a gentle rain. And very cold this morning: -11F under the trees brrr.

3/13/2019 7:10 AM 0.29 0.0 M M M Raining steady at observation time and the moisture is welcome. We have a bit of a north westerly component as the windows on the north and west sides of the house are wet (others are dry) and I can hear little “pings” every now and then. Christman field is within a mile as the crow flies and they indicate NW sustained In the upper teens with gusts in the low 20’s mph. I wonder if there gauge is clogged as it indicated rain starting at 2:20 MST, so it’s been raining a number of hours already. Now we’ll just wait to see when the changeover to snow occurs.
3/14/2019 7:00 AM 0.67 4.5 0.54 4.0 M Rain changed to snow ~8:40AM yesterday morning, the winds picked up at least another 10mph - I ran out and grabbed the gauge and measured 0.13". Snow was accumulating on surfaces within 15 minutes. It stuck to vertical and horizontal surfaces. By 5 PM, it seemed the snow had stopped but the wind was still blowing. I measured areas that had 0-0.5" to drifts of 14" (in my acre of yard). The gauge melted to 0.32", the core represented 4.5" and melted to 0.54". This was a very difficult snow to measure in many ways. With all the places the snow "covered", I feel that the core is an adequate representation.

The core melted to 0.2” for 2.0”. Many cement surfaces were warmer, did not accumulate snow and were even dry (or just damp or partially wet) this morning.

4/11/2019 7:00 AM 0.75 5.8 0.64 5.0 M Challenging to measure when the precipitation changes from rain to snow and it is windy. I wasn’t at home to measure just the rain. When I got home at 3 PM, the top of the gauge had a cone of snow and slush in the base. It melted to 0.41. A core of 3” melted to 0.38. This morning, the gauge snow was uneven, but settled to ~2” when shaken. It melted to 0.15. The core was 2.8” and melted to 0.26. This difference was 0.11. I live close to Christman and the rain in the morning was 0.12. Due to differences between rain, and snow measured between core and gauge, my best estimate is 0.11 rain + 0.38 core +0.26 core = 0.75”

4/30/2019 7:00 AM 0.82 7.9 M 5.0 M I measured the snow last night at 5:15PM when I got home. There was 3.5" on the board and 0.26" melted from the core. There was 0.27" from the gauge - very similar and I used the gauge. This morning, there was an additional 4.4" on the board that melted to 0.55". Snow in the gauge was uneven (4" on one side and 6" on the other) and melted to 0.49. I used the core for this part Total = 0.27+0.55 = 0.82 Snow had settled by this morning and was 5" over the grass. on the plastic trash can, there was 7". I put 5" as total remaining. The moisture is nice. I hope the fruit blossoms survive the cold weather.
5/1/2019 7:00 AM 0.19 0.7 M 1.0 M When I got home yesterday at 4:30, there was 0.5" of snow on the board and slush in the gauge. I didn't do a core measurement. The content of the gauge was 0.1 liquid. This morning, there was a measurable 0.2 slushy snow on the board and the water equivalent in the gauge was 0.09 for a total of 0.19. My husband says there was wind and either rain or snow being blown against the window last night. Since the ground is warm, there are many spots where there is no snow. Where there is snow, it is ~2". I put the remaining as the average between the 2.

5/20/2019 6:40 AM 0.47 0.0 M M M Cloudy most of the day, humid, and breezy - making it feel cold (or have I gotten used to the warmer weather already?) Light rain to wet the pavement in the evening. By 8:30, raining steadily. Rain fell overnight. I slept soundly, so I don't know it there were any heavier periods or thunderstorms.
5/21/2019 7:00 AM 0.74 2.3 0.46 2.0 M Cloudy most of the day yesterday with light drizzle. There was 0.05" in the gauge by 4:30 PM. It started raining steadily at ~5PM and by 8:30 PM started to switch over to snow. At that point, there was 0.16" more rain. Overnight, it snowed and this morning the board had 2.3" snow and melted to 0.46" The snow/slush in the gauge melted to 0.53". I used 0.21 + 0.53 = 0.74 Glad there wasn't more snow as it is weighing down branches that have leaves on them.
5/22/2019 7:00 AM 0.02 T M M M Snow showers in the morning yesterday before ~ 10 AM. Warming to melt the snow by the afternoon. The sun even came out briefly.

5/24/2019 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Very light drizzle in the morning, rain in the evening to wet the ground. Not raining in the afternoon. I didn't check the gauge until this morning - don't have a sense of how the 0.02 is distributed.

6/2/2019 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M A few rounds of cloud development throughout the day - each had a trace. I thought we didn’t get any measurable rain, although I see there is 0.01 in the gauge this morning and it’s wet enough around the baby spinach that I want to let it dry out some more before I thin it. So there was either rain overnight or a very heavy dew.
