1/1/2019 10:20 AM 0.14 4.9 M 5.0 M Still snowing! But eaSy to clean panels cuz it is all light fluffy stuff. Now this is very strange. I dumped the snow from the main cylinder into a glass pitcher making sure all of the snow made it into the pitcher and I only got 0.14" of SWE?! I'm going to run back out and pour a known quantity of water into the main cylinder and see if there is a bunch of ice in there. Its been so cold, I cant believe there is ice in the bottom! There is drifting due to winds that could be messing things up. but I took a number of readings ranging from 3.5" to 4.9" for new snow. I dumped 0.50" and got back 0.50" after swirling it for a few seconds. So this is the fluffiest lightest snow I've ever seen!

It was above freezing for a while yesterday which resulted in our solar hot water finally thawing so we could get the pipes running again, so there should have been significantly less SWE in the snow core. We have had about 0.41" of SWE since 12/27/18 so about half has melted away.

All the liquid came out but them this glob of slush fell on my hand. I measured liquid to be 0.58 but added 0.05 for the spilled slush. So this is an estimate.

Funny thing was I went outside to read the gauge now that there is blue sky overhead (about a 60 degree cone of no visible clouds) and I feel drizzle or very light raindrops on my face! Not sure how that happens.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
9/24/2018 10/01/2018 8:00 PM 8 0.00 M M Gauge was dry! But there may have been some small or trace rains while we were away...
2/10/2019 2/15/2019 8:00 AM 6 0.67 T M I was amazed to see so much water in the gauge this morning! We left on a road trip Mon. morning (2/11/19) and came back Thu. Evening but did not check gauge. It was raining as we arrived (almost like drizzle). I am assuming there was no precip morning of 2/10/19, otherwise I should have reported it. I am also assuming that the bulk of this significant precip fell on the 14-15. It was partly cloudy this morning and no prcip and there were puddles of semi-frozen water. Rain came after snow and you can see the "bullet holes" in the remaining patches of snow.
4/21/2019 5/01/2019 8:00 AM 11 M M M The outer cylinder was dry and did not have the funnel on it nor the inner gauge. There were precip events observed by neighbors while we were away. There was some water in the buckets under the leaky gutter on the shed. So there was precip but not enough to stay in the outer cylinder which was dry on inspection at 6pm 5/1/19. So I am guessing they were in the 0.01" to 0.10" range. Clear skies 5/1 and 5/2 morning
