Two separate events. The first was an extension of the previous overnight snow into the morning, culminating in a band of moderate snow around noon. That band dropped 0.5" of snow containing 0.05" of moisture (10:1 SLR). Snow stopped in the early afternoon.
New snowfall began late last night and dumped 1.5" of snow containing 0.10" of moisture (15:1 SLR). It was much fluffier than that which fell earlier in the day, but also contained both aggregated dendrites and a highly-rimed habit.

Snowing at time of observation. Snow is very wet and slushy underneath, suggesting the presence of liquid within the fallen snowpack. Snow core sample likely missing some water due to difficulty measuring such soft/fluid composition on snowboard.
