| 2026-03-24 | 7:00 AM | 0.05 | 0.3 | 0.04 | T | NA | | Another useless but marginally decorative snow with an initial wet layer that stuck to the snowboard. And probably car windshields. Yep, car just drove by. I managed to scrape off the stuff frozen tot the snowboard with my trusty Maxwell House steel coffee can ("Good to the Last Drop"). There were brief bursts of light snow at 1320, 1430, and 1520, temperature rose to 34F at 1600, accumulating snow 1740-2000 but a few flakes after that. |
| 2026-03-23 | 7:00 AM | 0.21 | 0.2 | 0.04 | T | NA | | Snow started around 1000, cold rain started to mix in at noon, snow data collected at 1300. Only the barest trace of snow remains on the ground. Air temp was between 32F and 33F from 1200 to 0400, and slightly below 32 outside that period. It's unclear when the rain stopped, mostly by 2200, but there was a trace of freezing drizzle before dawn. |
| 2026-03-22 | 7:00 AM | T | T | NA | T | NA | | There were a lot of radar echoes over me, but only about a dozen snow flakes reached the rain gauge. Look north for measurable precip on the ground. |
| 2026-03-21 | 7:00 AM | 0.09 | 0.0 | 0.00 | T | NA | | Essentially all the rain was over by 2000, Later rain did more to retard drying than add moisture. It's pretty hard to justify the trace of snow but there's still some in the woods. |
| 2026-03-20 | 7:00 AM | T | T | NA | T | NA | | Merest trace of snow during the day. Merest melting too. |
| 2026-03-19 | 7:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | 0.00 | T | NA | | Chilly day, not much progress on snow melt or crocus growing, but I took advantage of the weather to walk on a frozen dirt road that will resume being a squishy mud season mess soon. |

Air temp surged from 39.4°F to 55.1°F during the 2200 hour (6.5° in one 10 minute period) and crashed from 55.9°F to 42.0°F during the 0300 hour. Air pressure bottomed out at 29.11 inHg (986 mb) at 0230. Yesterday finished off most of the remaining natural snow cover except in some sheltered spots. |

Hey, this is easy - no snow to deal with on the snowboard, no stakes to read, just check the critter/weather surveillance camera for start time (deer at 0340).
Oh yeah, check Davis VP Pro for heaviest rain, that was after 0700. Sorry 'bout that. |
| 2026-03-15 | 7:00 AM | T | T | NA | T | NA | | In significant (as in nothing in the gauge) leftover precip yesterday morning and apparently a little sleet overnight that I noticed below the metal roof this AM.
All of yesterday's 3" of snow was gone by 1630 thanks in part to a little sun. |
| 2026-03-14 | 7:20 AM | 0.18 | 3.1 | 0.19 | 3.0 | NA | | A day after ending continuous snow cover, 3 new inches. Rain on Monday will fix that! After a few flakes in the evening, real snow started just after 2300. Still S-- at obs time. |
| 2026-03-13 | 7:00 AM | 0.01 | 0.0 | 0.00 | T | NA | | A little rain in the morning. A little melting during the day, I guess it's time to demote snowpack to a Trace (as in less than 50% coverage of typical natural terrain). |
| 2026-03-12 | 7:00 AM | 0.02 | 0.0 | 0.00 | 1.0 | NA | | A couple very brief showers in the AM, a little rain in the evening and overnight. and enough snowmelt to warrant calling snow cover just a trace, but I'll go with 1" as one area least affected by rain on snow still has a couple of inches. |
| 2026-03-11 | 7:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | 0.00 | 2.5 | NA | | Yesterday afternoon featured air temperatures around 70F and dew points around 40F. That plus March sunlight melted most of the remaining snow so we're now in the patchy snow regime that is just plain difficult to measure. |

| 2026-03-07 | 8:50 AM | 0.08 | 0.1 | 0.07 | 14.0 | NA | | Oh yeah, I was supposed to check the rain gauge. Overnight freezing drizzle discouraged that, though it was just a crust on the snow, and the path to the gauge was snow covered so no big deal. My coffee can was able get a good core off the plastic snow board so a good measurement of the ice. I have no good timing for the drizzle except it started in the evening and isn't happening now. |
| 2026-03-06 | 7:00 AM | 0.44 | 3.0 | 0.42 | 14.5 | NA | | Dense snow started out with a little freezing rain and sleet. Some grassy areas started out wet from melted snow and are still wet under the new snow despite falling temps, now 25°F. There is still a little snow falling, but likely will have no accumulation, radar is has no echoes for over 30 miles. |

| 2026-02-25 | 7:00 AM | 0.01 | 0.1 | 0.01 | 14.0 | NA | | Snow started around dawn, about half an hour ago and was picking up fairly quickly. Shouldn't be very much. |

| 2026-01-27 | 7:00 AM | 0.24 | 4.4 | 0.25 | 15.5 | NA | | While this obs is really the tail end of a multi-day event, this portion appears to be related to the upper level low falling behind the lower level system. That portion brought surprisingly dense (nearly average) snow, this portion started with a bit mostly sleet with enough moisture to bond to surfaces before flipping to very low density snow.
|
| 2026-01-26 | 7:00 AM | 0.84 | 9.4 | 0.85 | 12.5 | NA | | This was not the fluffy snow people expected. I collected at 2200 and 0730. I looked at new snow around 2300 and saw a lot of needles and "beefy" dendrites. Despite ground temps around 10F it was likely relatively warm in the clouds. Snow pretty much was over at 0100, but it's also never really stopped so there's no end time below. |
| 2026-01-25 | 7:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | 0.00 | 2.5 | NA | | Cold day! -4.9°F low, 9.3°F high. |
| 2026-01-24 | 7:00 AM | T | T | NA | 2.5 | NA | | A couple snow flurries around 1900 and 0300. The dew point temperature trace shows another at 2030, but the surveillance camera showed just a few flakes. Air temp showed a very steady fall until dawn, down to -4F or so. |
| 2026-01-23 | 7:00 AM | T | T | NA | 2.5 | NA | | AM sun and above freezing temperature led to some melting/compaction of the recent fluff. A snow shower around 1400 wound up evaporating before the AM obs, so call it a trace. |

| 2026-01-19 | 7:50 AM | 0.12 | 2.2 | 0.08 | 5.5 | NA | | Brief snow from 0910-1000 after snowblowing was the tail of the previous event. The new event snowed mainly from 1850-2400, but continued with very light snow until about 0700. Essentially no bending of lilac branches occurred after 0600. The discrepancy between gauge and snowfall SWE may be due to an unfortunate slip while getting the core sample compounded by some midday melting and refreezing on the snowboard. Independent of that, the new event's snow was extremely fluffy. |

| 2026-01-16 | 7:00 AM | 0.03 | T | NA | 1.0 | NA | | Morning rain ended around 0800. Our January thaw ended at 1540 as a front hit with wind, rain and a little sleet. Wind stayed up, temperature kept falling, it looks like a brief chunk of stray lake effect snow brought a trace at 0530 - no sign of it on radar. 10F at 0700. Hey, New England in January. |

There were a few flakes before midnight, but those photos would have been the only trace of that trace. So this is essentially all a 2026 snow event. Measurable snow ended at 0410, but there were a few straggler flakes at 0550. I'm more and more inclined to exclude times of precip traces from the Duration Information section. |
