I'm surprised that my melted snow amount is so much higher than those around me! I checked my gauge a few times yesterday and didn't notice any anomalies. What I did observe is that that snow was wetter than what is normal up here. I could tell that by how the snow felt on my skin, and that I could easily see small snowflakes dispersed throughout, when under drier conditions it's harder to detect snowflakes, especially from inside. Of course I was very much aware of the wind and the lower visibility.
