Actual Gauge catch was only 0.02", presumably due to wind during the storm. Lots of drifting around the house, but depths in the as-yet unplowed farm field next to the house were fairly consistent, measuring between 3" and 4", so I reported 3.5" as an approximate average depth. A snow core from a spot where the depth was 3.5" yielded 0.40" of water and I have reported this number as the "Gauge Catch".
