Significant drifting of snow yesterday shortly after 7:00am observation. Strong north wind continued until almost sunset. Consequently, some areas of the property have only two inches of snowpack and other areas have two-foot-deep snow drifts. Ten samples of snowpack this morning yielded an average depth of 6.4". This excluded the deepest snowdrifts. |
| 2026-01-09 | 7:00 AM | 0.62 | 7.8 | 0.68 | 8.0 | 0.68 | | First low-pressure system moved through yesterday morning accompanied by occasional light snow beginning at around 7:20am. This snow ended during the 11:00am hour with only a trace of snowpack which completely melted off before the next snowfall. Second low-pressure system affects began with heavy snow around 2:00pm according to Doppler radar. Snow rates were very efficient with main roads becoming snow packed quickly. This event ended around 3:30pm. I took a measurement on the snow board at 3:43pm indicating 2.1". The next event from the same low-pressure system came during the evening accompanied by north winds. There are some snowdrifts this morning estimated close to 18" deep. Snowfall had ended around 5:30am but blowing snow remains. Took seven samples of snowpack for snowfall. There was no old snow on the ground prior to precipitation events. |
