1/24/2019 7:00 AM 0.18 1.2 0.18 4.5 M Using SWE from snowboard for total precip amount (more representative given snow that has fallen in the past 24 hrs). Precip in gauge was 0.01 inches less then the weighed precip amount taken from the snowboard. Rounds of heavier system snow fell between 7am-2:30pm, amounting to 1.1 inches. Another tenth of an inch fell after that time from light snow showers moving through the area. Some light flurries/snow showers overnight as well.
1/25/2019 7:00 AM 0.10 2.0 0.10 6.0 M Using SWE from snowboard for total precip amount (precip in gauge was 0.04 inches). Snowboard precip amount is more representative for the lake effect/system enhanced snow, that has fallen since 1pm yesterday afternoon. Winds picked up later in the night, helping to blow the snow around a bit. Lake effect snow stil falling at obs time.
1/26/2019 7:00 AM 0.01 0.2 0.01 6.0 M -19 degrees at obs time this morning. Light lake effect snow showers fell at times yesterday morning and afternoon. Clearing skies later in the evening. Using SWE from snowboard for total precip amount (gauge was not representative, had "T" amount of precip in it). Snowboard had nearly an inch on it from snow blowing around yesterday (I measured new snowfall prior to blowing).

1/28/2019 7:00 AM 0.11 1.1 0.11 6.5 0.78 Heavy snow falling at obs time with temps right around 1 deg F. Using SWE from snowboard for total precip amount (gauge had 0.06 inches of precip in it). The snowboard is more representative, due to the angle of the snowfall and the snowboard being more out in the open (located in a garden protected by fence and hardware cloth). However, quite a bit of blowing snow out there with these east winds picking up. Despite an inch of new snowfall, our total snow depth has only gone up 0.5 inches since yesterday (total snow depth taken in three locations and averaged).
1/29/2019 7:00 AM 0.61 6.9 0.61 11.5 M Light lake effect snow falling at obs time and 2 deg F. Using SWE from snowboard for total precip amount as the gauge catch was 0.22 inches less then the core taken from the snowboard (precip in gauge was 0.39 inches). Blowing snow and the angle of the snowfall, helped limit the gauge from getting a representative precip amount, given the snow that fell all day yesterday. 2-day snow total: 8 inches (right on the mark). Total snow depth ranges from 11.5 inches to a foot in spots. Averaging snow depth amounts from three locations gives us about 11.5 inches of snow on the ground.
1/30/2019 7:00 AM 0.03 1.0 0.03 11.5 M Estimating the new snowfall this morning due to intense blowing and drifting taking place over the past 24 hours, and continuing this morning. Snowboard had 1.3-1.5 inches of snow on it, which is overdone due to the blowing/drifting snow conditions. Using the precip amount taken from the gauge, for the SWE for the snowboard (precip core from snowboard was 0.09 inches when weighed). Unlike the snowboard, the gauge is not effected as much by the blowing/drifting snow. -6 deg F with light snow falling at the obs time. Wind chills dropping down around the -20 deg F range. Heavy lake effect bands rolled through right around noon yesterday. Otherwise, only light lake effect snow showers moving through this location during the remainder of the day.
1/31/2019 7:00 AM T T T 11.0 M Estimated snowfall due to blowing and drifting taking place all day yesterday. Using gauge for SWE from snowboard, as snowboard had about an inch of snow on it from blowing/drifting snow. Calm winds this morning though and -22 deg F at obs time. Snow depth ranges between 10 and 12 inches in spots. A few lake effect snow showers yesterday, but no significant accumulation in this area.

2/6/2019 7:00 AM 0.44 0.8 0.40 1.5 M Nearly an inch of snow/sleet fell last night (mostly sleet). Wintry mix falling at obs time, appears to be ice pellets. Using both weighed precip amounts from the snowboard and the gauge, as I don't think all the precip that fell last night was sleet. Some freezing rain must have mixed in at times.
2/7/2019 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 1.5 M Thin layer of ice covering all surfaces (less then a tenth of an inch). Freezing drizzle falling at obs time.
2/8/2019 7:00 AM 0.46 1.5 0.09 2.5 M 3.6 inches of new snow on the snowboard, however, I'm not putting this down for new snowfall, due to total snow depth readings from several open locations registering right around 1.5 inches of new snow on the ground. Blowing snow really helped to alter new snow accumulation on the snowboard, which is strange because the snowboard is protected by fencing and hardware cloth. Also, with the ice we got yesterday, I can't break through the thick layer of ice underneath the new snow, so I'm estimating total snow and ice depth for now.
2/9/2019 7:00 AM T 0.3 T 2.5 M Lake effect snow showers throughout the day yesterday ending by evening. Due to significant blowing and drifting snow all day yesterday and into the evening hours, new snowfall is estimated. Using gauge for SWE from snowboard. Snowboard was not representative for new snow that fell yesterday (had 4.5 inches of drifted snow on it at obs time). Total snow and ice depth is also estimated, as I'm unable to punch through the thick layer of ice underneath the powdery snow.

System snow started falling around 3AM.
2/13/2019 7:00 AM 0.67 6.6 0.67 10.0 M Light lake effect snow showers rolling through the area at obs time. Heavy snow throughout the day yesterday with a brief break around noon, with heavy system snow returning around 3PM and continuing till about 9PM. Snowfall totals with times are as follows: 3 inches 7a-3p, 3.1 inches 3p-11:30p, 0.5 inches 11:30p-7a. Total snowfall since 3AM yesterday: 8.7 inches. Using SWE from snowboard for total precip amount, as it is more representative given the new snowfall. Precip in gauge was 0.51 inches (0.16 inches less then weighed core amount taken from snowboard).
2/14/2019 7:00 AM T T T 9.5 M
2/15/2019 7:00 AM T T T 7.5 M Like yesterday, there's a little bit of blown in snow from gusty winds spread atop the snowboard (0.6 inches). This is not representative for the light snow that fell last night and still falls this morning at the obs time. Gauge only has a few flakes in it, and the road/walkway look fairly dry. Averaging 3 locations for total snow depth amounts to 6.6 inches (readings range from 5.4 to 8 inches of snow on the ground). Adding about a half an inch to the average snow depth, to incorporate the layer of ice still present beneath the snow. UPDATE at 4:30 PM: Measured ice on ground under snow using a spade to break through the ice. Updated snow/ice total: 7.5 inches. Ice depth is 1 inch (averaged from 3 locations). I originally thought thickness of ice was 0.5 inches, which is why my total snow/ice depth was previously 7 inches.
2/16/2019 7:00 AM 0.01 0.3 0.01 7.5 M Lake effect snow bands rolled through the area yesterday morning diminishing during the afternoon hours. Using the SWE from snowboard for total precip amount. Gauge catch was underdone with only a few flakes in the tube at obs time, most likely due to the gusty winds accompanying the snow that fell.

2/18/2019 7:00 AM 0.08 2.0 0.08 9.5 1.53 Light flurries falling at obs time. System snow started falling later in the afternoon/evening hours yesterday. 2 inches of accumulation (right on the mark). Both snowboard SWE and precip from gauge are the same amount (0.08 inches), surprisingly. This doesn't happen too often, but with hardly any wind to speak of during this event and the snow falling straight down, I'm not too surprised. Getting the total core from the ground was a chore this morning. About 1.16 inches of precip from snow with another 0.37 inches of precip from the inch of ice underneath the snow. A nice crusty layer of ice underneath the 2 inches of new snow that just fell, making for a great ice and snow sandwich! Total snow depth readings range from 7.5-9.5 inches. Averaging these depths brings snow depth to 8.5 inches. I'm adding an inch to that total to incorporate the layer of ice underneath the snow.
2/19/2019 7:00 AM T T T 8.0 M A few flurries around the obs time yesterday ending shortly after 7am. Abundant sunshine yesterday afternoon. -6 degrees this morning with a bright and full moon setting off to the northwest. Total snow depth has gone down 1.5 inches since yesterdays obs. Some settling/melting taking place yesterday as temps climbed into the mid-upper 20s (high temp was 26F).

Overcast and breezy this morning, 29 degrees F. Total snow depth readings vary from 5.5 to 8 inches in spots. Adding an inch to the average total snow depth from three locations (6.5 inches), to incorporate the layer of ice still present beneath the snow.

Snowboard had 15.5 inches of drifted snow on it (obviously not representative for snow that fell yesterday). Drift on west side of my house is at about 12.5 inches. Other spots on my lawn are right around 3 inches. I took 4 total snow depth readings (ranging between 2.8 and 12.5 inches), and am averaging them to get a total snow depth of around 8.5 inches (including inch of ice underneath snow). Estimating new snowfall to be around 3 inches. Gauge catch was obviously underdone, due to snow falling sideways yesterday. However, I didn't want to use the snowboard for precip totals because it was not representative. As for wind speeds, had a peak wind of 53mph before midnight last night.

4/15/2019 7:00 AM 0.97 9.1 0.97 8.5 0.88 Using precip core taken from snow board for the total precip amount. Also, took a total core sample from the ground. Precip from gauge was 0.90 inches. The gauge was filled to the brim, so I figure this amount is not quite representative. I figure that some of the snow melted/settled last night as temps rose to just slightly above the freezing mark, which may be the reason why our total snow depth is right around 8.5 inches. Just over 9 inches of snowfall from this system at this location.
