Patchy daytime drizzle, then overnight light rain. The wet, heavy snowpack has diminished to 6.5" today from 9.0" yesterday, and from 13.0" two days ago. Low spots are very wet slush; no flooding observed. Snow core depth 6.5". High temp yesterday 42°F; low since midnight 37°. Currently 42° with light rainfall.
2/5/2019 7:00 AM 0.04 0.0 M 5.5 M Morning light rain (0.04") and temps peaking at 43°F made for another day of much snowmelt. Thickening fog, with visibility down to ~1/8 mile in late morning, cleared in the early afternoon. By midafternoon, minor to moderate flooding in the usual areas (e.g. around the Little Sugar River, Burgy Creek, River Rd., farm fields) occurred. Now temps are below freezing (since ~5pm) and ice rinks abound. The snowpack is now a semi-hard, crunchy 5.5". Low temp since midnight 18°.
2/6/2019 7:00 AM 0.15 0.2 M 5.0 M Variable mixes of sleet and freezing rain (predominantly sleet) started at 3:50pm (reported via mPING). Today there is a 0.2" pebbly ice accretion on (previously clear, unsalted) asphalt and concrete surfaces, 0.1" ice accretion on vehicles and the snow board, and trees and shrubs are ice-free or have a paper-thin glazing. Snowpack is crusted, crunchy, 5.0". High temp yesterday 28°F; low since midnight 24°.
2/7/2019 7:00 AM 0.17 T M 5.0 M Ice storm with 0.1" ice accretion (temp 29° - 30°F). Intermittent rounds of freezing light rain and drizzle started 5:05pm. Brief period of light snow ~12:30pm; no accumulation. The snowpack is 5.0" and topped with an ice rink, requiring a heavy marching step to walk through to avoid slipping with each step. Evergreen trees/shrubs and dormant deciduous trees/shrubs are ice-coated but not bending (or barely bending) under the weight. High temp yesterday 30°; low since midnight 27°.
2/8/2019 7:00 AM 0.26 0.3 M 5.0 M Winter ice storm. Freezing rain fell 8:45am – 11:45am (temps 28° – 31°F). Brief 0.3" diameter hail and heavy rainfall 11:18am. Freezing rain segued into just rain as the temp rose to 32° 12pm -1:45pm, then transitioned to sleet, sleet + snow, and snow. Ice accretion 0.2" 7am - 3pm. Storm total ice accretion 0.3" (5pm 2/6 - 3pm 2/7). Winds picked up ~1pm and roared by evening causing concern for icy treetops, but no damage observed. The Limelight hydrangea trees needed an emergency trimming though, due to strained branches with old mop-head flowers full of ice. Rain + SWE through 3pm 0.25"; total rain + SWE 0.26". Snow/sleet total 0.1". Snowpack is 5.0" with an ice rink for a top. Temps plummeted to 7°F by 9pm; low since midnight and current temp -2° with a nasty, biting wind chill. Numerous additional reports were made via Significant Weather Report, Tweets @NWSMKX, and the mPING app. (It's so cool to look at the mPING map to see what's happening and to see so many people pitching in to report weather observations. Same goes for the CoCoRaHS maps!)

2/10/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 M Ice accretion has remained on vegetation the last couple days, lit up and sparkling in the sunshine. High temp yesterday 21°F; low since midnight 19°.
2/11/2019 7:00 AM 0.07 0.7 M 6.0 1.07 Afternoon snow and graupel showers. High temp yesterday 29°F; low since midnight 24°. Total snow/ice core depth 6.0". Had to use a hole saw (the diameter of the outer gauge tube) to collect the 0.3" ice layer (made by freezing rain) in between the snowy layers of the snowpack. As Gollum would say, it was "tricksies."
2/12/2019 7:00 AM 0.57 5.7 M 11.0 M Winter storm: 5.7" of fluffy new snow fell overnight, starting ~6pm. A smattering of ice accretion on the gauge tube, and a thin (~ 1/16") layer of ice an inch below the top of the new snow surface indicates some freezing rain fell too. High temp yesterday 30°F; low since midnight 28°.
2/13/2019 7:00 AM 0.12 2.0 M 13.5 M Flurries over much of the day and into evening, with north winds increasing in the afternoon and roaring by evening, with significant blowing and drifting on roads. It was a perfectly miserable evening to be outside, but lo! Amidst the whipping swirls of snow on the NW-facing porch was my husband grilling brats! (giggle) The snow board is swept clean and the gauge catch may be less than actual. Estimate 2.0" of new snowfall. Gauge SWE 0.12". Drifted, scalloped snowpack depths range 12.5" – 15.0", average 13.5". High temp yesterday 32°F; low since midnight 10°.

The drizzle glazed the snowpack (~1/16” icing) but all other surfaces remained wet. Afternoon high temp 37°F. Drizzle/snow mixes ended midafternoon, followed by evening brief snowfall. The storm total snow on the driveway was semi-wet and heavy. The snow board has a hard 0.3” snow/ice layer today. Overnight low temp 15°.
