Snow was so sticky that it clogged the opening of the outer cylinder and has yet to fall into the gauge. I’ll leave it out and wait to thaw it until the snow has fallen in. Then I’ll report the gauge catch. I took a core of the snowfall that will be the SWE for both the snowfall and snowpack. Update: the gauge catch ended up only being about 2/3rds of the SWE. That’s significant.
