11/15/2018 6:55 AM 0.04 T M T M The snow measurement this morning was a bit tricky because what had accumulated was mostly sleet and it covered most bare surfaces with a thin layer. The accumulation of sleet on grass was not very much. I remember hearing sleet hitting my window beginning around 5:45 - 5:55 am when I was waking up and it continued through the time of my observation. Snowflakes were finally visibly mixing in with the sleet on my way to work around 7:10 am.

1/20/2019 7:00 AM 0.14 2.8 M 4.0 M Throughout the day I took four readings until the snow stopped. At 9:25 am another 1.1" had fallen, at 11:00 am another 0.5" of snow had fallen (at this time I moved my snow board away from other objects due to blowing snow), at 12:40 pm another 0.3" of snow had fallen, and at 4:20 pm another 0.9" of snow had fallen and the snow was coming to an end. One caution is that these snow amounts were measured to the best of my ability due to the blowing snow conditions. What I can say is that as of the morning measurement there was 2.5" of snow on the ground and by 4:20 pm there was 5.0" of snow on the ground, which became 4.0" by this morning.

1/23/2019 6:55 AM 0.65 0.0 M 3.0 M Yesterday afternoon at 4:10 pm there was a good coating of ice on my car and on most pavement surfaces making it very slippery to the point where it took multiple tries to get my car up the driveway and into the garage. This morning ice was still present on hard surface areas but not everywhere. It was also still raining at the time of my observation. The average depth of snow was 2.8". Localized ponding and flooding of streets is a concern as storm drains could be blocked by a mixture of snow and ice.
1/24/2019 7:00 AM 0.10 T M 0.5 M Snowflakes observed during my time of observation. A lot of grass was visible in my yard, I would estimate 50%.

1/28/2019 7:00 AM 0.02 0.5 M 3.5 0.24 Blowing snow made it difficult to judge how much snow had fallen and to collect a good snow core sample for the "snow water equivalent" measurement so I did my best. The snow on my snow board ranged from nothing to an inch deep so I went in the middle with 0.5 inches. It was amazing to see how the wind was already sculpting the snow at my house and on the way to work.
1/29/2019 7:00 AM 0.17 2.3 M 5.0 M Snow showers yesterday turned to misty rain by 4:30 pm, which later froze. Snow measured around 5:00 pm was 2.1" and this morning another 0.2" had fallen. Snow was falling during my observation time.
1/30/2019 7:00 AM T T M 5.0 0.74 The wind has sculpted the snow in a number of places into low and high/drift spots. The average snow depth is 5”. It was cold this morning as well
1/31/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.5 0.68 I averaged the depth of snow across my yard again this morning and came up with 5.5" instead of 5" as I did yesterday. I also attempted to use the average snow depth to obtain a SWE reading and came up 0.06" less than yesterday at 0.68". The winds over the last few days have created variability throughout my backyard.
2/1/2019 7:00 AM 0.03 1.0 M 6.0 1.07 Snow was falling at the time of my observation. I took two SWE readings today and averaged them. The first one was taken at a snow depth of 7" and resulted in 1.18" of water, while the second measurement was taken at a snow depth of 5" and resulted in 0.96" of water. This averages out to 1.07" of water on the ground.

There was also ponding of water on roadways as I drove into work because storm drains are being blocked by snow and ice.

These areas measured on average 2" deep but the areas I have been measuring snow at were bare grass. Thus, I took two snow measurements and two bare grass measurements and came up with the Total Snow on the Ground.

6/2/2019 7:00 AM 1.64 M M M M 1.58” of rain fell by 9:25 pm with at least an inch of that falling between 8:00 to 8:45 pm. The thunderstorms last night came with hail ranging from rice sized to half dollar sized. Trees and plants were damaged and potentially the garage door has some new dents. I reported the three rounds of hail last evening. The leaves and other tree debris mixed with trash caused standing water issues throughout the City of Goshen but not by my location.
