Gauge was frosted. 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard (and compared to one other location) as 2.5". Drifting definitely occurred as the snow was 5-6" deep up one inner side of the gauge but was only 2.5" deep on the flat ground. Conditions: sunny, with a brisk 20 degrees F. |

Unknown if light snow conditions at that time had stopped or continued-- sorry. Thunderstorms between 3 and 5 a.m. included heavy downpours. Observation conditions: heavily overcast, 47 degrees, all snow melted (so reporting snowpack at zero) and noteable puddles. |

Snowpack is patchy, much of the ice and snow melted overnight, reporting Trace. Conditions: heavily overcast, rain started during the observation, 54 degrees. Puddles from both rain and melting. |
| 2025-03-30 | 8:10 AM | 0.40 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was ice (some on rim), snow, and rain, measured by weight at 0.40". Not entering a 24-hr Snowfall amount because snow that did fall had melted with the freezing rain by observation time (sorry). Estimated visual depth of new snow was 0.3". Conditions: Cloudy, freezing rain, 31 degrees F, some runoff from the rain upon the snow or melting IS occurring. Entering ice measurements in Ice Accretion - Pilot. |
| 2025-03-29 | 7:35 AM | 0.63 | 2.0 | NA | 2.0 | NA | | Gauge catch was snow with ice, freezing rain, and sleet, measured by weight at 0.63" (heavy feeling for the depth). 24-hr Snowfall and Snowpack depth was measured on a snowboard with a metric ruler at 2.0". Ice report will be submitted separately. Consistency of precip on the ground from the ground up: 1.5" of snow, then ~0.3" icy layer (NOT clear ice but an ice/snow mix), then topped with another mostly snow layer but with some crunch. Some melting is occurring due to daylight on elevated metal surfaces facing where the sun would be despite conditions being under 32 degrees F. Conditions: cloudy, 27 degrees F, with gusty winds. |

Because all the season's snow had melted, both measurements at the same. Snow on snowboard had an icy layer at the bottom. Snow did NOT accumulate on paved surfaces, only on elevated surfaces and the ground. Conditions: Sunny and 18 degrees F. |

Note: rain must have started after 6 a.m. because conditions were dry at that time. [EDIT: Added 0" for Snowpack for this date.] |
| 2025-03-15 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 0.0 | NA | | Empty gauge. Conditions: hazy sunshine, 35 degrees F. Snow on ground in open locations finished melting away yesterday. Therefore Snowpack depths are starting to be less than 100% in coverage. Now, we have snowbanks and heavily shaded locations with remaining snow. Ground is wet. [EDIT: Re-watched training video and entering 0" for Snowpack as of this date.] |

| 2025-03-10 | 8:05 AM | 0.02 | T | NA | 7.0 | 2.42 | | Gauge catch was all liquid, measured by weight at 0.02". I think I saw a few flakes in the air, so reporting T for 24-hour snowfall. Snowpack core taken in an open location, measured by weight at 2.42" and 7" depth. Core consistency is no longer snow-like and dry, it is consists more of pea-sized and smaller ice pebbles. No distinct layers, entire core is the same icy texture. Conditions: partly cloudy, 34 degrees, geese flying overhead. |
| 2025-03-09 | 7:45 AM | T | 0.1 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, too little to weigh, reporting Trace. 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.1". Snow consistency is light with some compound flakes making the surface bumpy, but it's enough snow to cover surfaces. Conditions: cloudy, light snow, 29 degrees F. |
| 2025-03-08 | 7:20 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was frozen liquid precipitation, that I did see falling as snow, but too little to weigh, so reporting Trace. Reporting trace for 24-hr Snowfall as well. Conditions: Clear and sunny, 19 degrees F, slight breeze. Interesting that last night there were snow squalls about but nothing happened here. |
| 2025-03-07 | 7:05 AM | 0.03 | 0.4 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, slightly drifted, measured by weight at 0.03". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard (and compared to 2 other locations due to drifting) at 0.4". Conditions: clear, sunny, 22 degrees. |
| 2025-03-06 | 7:20 AM | 0.64 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all liquid, measured by weight at 0.64". Even through I did see radar-indicated snow, not reporting any snow because I didn't see any. Regular ponding. Conditions: cloudy and 36 degrees F. |

| 2025-03-04 | 7:00 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Empty gauge but seen snowflakes falling last evening so reporting Trace for both gauge catch and 24-hr Snowfall. Conditions: layered clouds, 29 degrees F. |
| 2025-03-03 | 10:20 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 11.5 | 3.42 | | Empty gauge, but it was frosted. Conditions at 7:40 a.m., clear and negative 1 degree F. Conditions as of this observation report time at 10:20 a.m.: Hazy clouds and 20 degrees F. Snowpack total taken in an open location with a metric ruler at 11.5" and measured by weight at 3.42". Snow consistency at core is very dense- had to be shoveled down through. Possible icy layers but hard to detect as entire core was dense. |
| 2025-03-02 | 8:10 AM | 0.01 | 0.2 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, drifted, measured by weight at 0.01". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.2". Conditions: clear, sunny, very cold at negative 1 degree F. |
| 2025-03-01 | 8:05 AM | 0.26 | 0.2 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch consisted of all liquid at observation time, but fell as snow and rain, measured by weight at 0.26". 24-hr Snowfall measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.2" however, given the snow first, then rain conditions, some snow has LIKELY melted before this measurement. Minor puddles/ponding seen overnight and at 5 a.m.. Conditions: cloudy, some wind gusts, break in the precipitation, 36 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-28 | 7:30 AM | 0.33 | 0.7 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all *melted* and refrozen (i.e. lumpy ice disk) snow, sleet, rain, and graupel, measured by weight at 0.33". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.7". Consistency of precipitation on snowboard was graupel-like on top, snow in the middle, and an irregular bumpy layer of frozen slush at the bottom. Conditions: clear, sunny, 14 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-27 | 7:00 AM | 0.01 | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was snow/ice pellet and possibly rain combo, measured by weight at 0.01". 24-hr Snowfall reporting trace. Conditions: cloudy with recent start of snow and ice pellets (sleet?), 30 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-26 | 7:00 AM | 0.11 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | I can't be 100% sure, but I think most of what the gauge caught was rain. A stray snowflake cannot be ruled out, although temps stayed mostly above freezing in the past 24 hours. During the past day, isolated patches of ground showed puddles and ponding. Conditions: partly cloudy and 33 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-25 | 7:30 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Empty gauge. Conditions: partly cloudy and relatively warm 36 degrees F. Gentle melting everywhere. Basement is still dry. |
| 2025-02-24 | 7:35 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was a few snowflakes, reporting Trace. Same for 24-hr Snowfall, too little to measure. Conditions: cloudy and an amazingly warm 30 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-23 | 7:50 AM | 0.05 | 1.8 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, slightly drifted, measured by weight at 0.05". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 1.8". Conditions: cloudy and a relatively warm 26 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-22 | 7:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Empty gauge, but gauge was frosted. Interestingly, bare tree branches (all in sight) are frosted too, which hasn't happened in a while. Conditions: partly cloudy, very cold zero degrees F. |
| 2025-02-21 | 7:00 AM | T | 0.4 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, very light, measured by weight at 1g, reporting Trace. 24-hr Snowfall was measured with metric ruler on a snowboard (and compared to one other location) at 0.4". Conditions: cloudy, 10 degrees F, no wind. Snow is very light, consisting of broken flakes. |
| 2025-02-20 | 7:40 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge is empty of precipitation but has frost spots. Reporting zero. Conditions: clear and very cold at 3 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-19 | 8:40 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was too small to measure by weight but visibly seen snow, reporting Trace. Same for 24-hr Snowfall, estimating 0.05 but reporting Trace. Conditions: clear and sunny, bone rattling 0 degrees F. (not really, getting used to this) |
| 2025-02-18 | 7:15 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Empty gauge. I did see snow in the gauge within the past day, however, I'm very sure it was from blowing snow, never saw any precip in the past 24 hours, and the gauge was truly empty at observation time, so I think any snow blew out again. Conditions: Mostly clear, sun rising, 3 degrees F, slight breeze. |
| 2025-02-17 | 8:00 AM | 1.10 | 10.5 | 1.08 | 24.0 | 4.15 | | Gauge catch was all snow, measured twice (at 3:20 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.) by weight at 1.10" total. 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 10.5". (Interim Significant Weather Event measurement was 7.5" by 3:20 p.m.) 24-hr Snowfall SWE taken at the same location, measured by weight at 1.08". Snowpack total was measured in an open location at 24" and the SWE was taken from the same location (first time I've had to take 2 sequential cores to cover the full depth) and measured by weight at 4.15". (Ice layer at 3" from ground). New snow consistency is dry and light. SIGNIFICANT and unusual drifting-- mostly north-south direction. Drifts currently hanging off of the south side of house roofs at est. 12"-18". My snowboard is in a slightly protected location from all directions so readings higher than 10.5" for the past 24 hours in the same area can be expected. |
| 2025-02-16 | 8:00 AM | 0.40 | 6.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, drifted, measured at two times to help circumvent the gauge overfilling, at a 24-hr total of 0.40". 24-hr Snowfall was taken with a metric ruler on a snowboard and averaged at 6.0". Conditions: cloudy with heavy snow, blowing snow, and 16 degrees F. Snow flakes are very small and dry. Snow is light, but at this volume, it's still a burden. |
| 2025-02-15 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Empty and dry gauge. Conditions: cloudy and 15 degrees F. The calm before yet another storm. |
| 2025-02-14 | 7:50 AM | 0.09 | 0.5 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was frozen melted snow and possibly some frozen rain, measured by weight at 0.09". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.5" (measured also at 5:30 p.m. prior evening close to the end of most of the precipitation with the same 0.5" measurement). Snow consistency, was dry, then became like small balls, then pebbly once temperatures were above 32 degrees F. NO ICE detected on wooden dowel or on branches but snow on the ground is crunchy. Conditions: Mostly cloudy and 12 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-13 | 8:20 AM | 0.41 | 2.5 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, slightly drifted, measured by weight at 0.41". 24-hr Snowfall was taken with a metric ruler on a snowboard and compared to one other location at 2.5". Snow consistency has varied: last night, it was dry, dreamy floating flakes, now some is sticking to surfaces like freezing rain, snow fall itself is varying in intensity going from extremely light to heavy. Conditions: cloudy, snowing, 17 degrees F. Mid-storm that started before 8 p.m. last evening. |
| 2025-02-12 | 7:25 AM | T | 0.1 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, measured by weight at 1g, reporting Trace. 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.1". Conditions: partly cloudy and a cold 6 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-11 | 7:30 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Empty gauge (a rarity lately!). Conditions: partly cloudy, 16 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-10 | 8:50 AM | 0.01 | 0.4 | NA | 13.0 | 2.30 | | Gauge catch was all snow, measured by weight at 0.01". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard as 0.4". Snowpack Depth was measured with a metric ruler in an open location, with icy layers at the grass level, then at 3" and at 5", to at total of 13". Snowpack SWE was measured by weight from a core taken at that same location at 2.30" |
| 2025-02-09 | 7:25 AM | 0.19 | 2.4 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was snow, slightly drifted, measured by weight at 0.19". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 2.4" (however, measurements varied in other locations from 2.4 to 3.0" so drifting did occur). Conditions: clear with a rising sun, 19 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-08 | 7:50 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge contained a trace of snow (observed very light snowing event at 5:30 a.m.) so reporting Trace. Conditions: partly cloudy and 15 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-07 | 7:35 AM | 0.28 | 2.5 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was snow but some of it below the top appears to have melted briefly into water drops, measured be weight at 0.28". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 2.5". Some settling could have occurred. Conditions: clear, rising sun, 21 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-06 | 8:00 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge contained a single visible snowflake, so reporting Trace, but there was frost on the gauge and the snowboard. Conditions: cloudy with storm moving in, 10 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-05 | 7:50 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch had visible snow at the bottom, gauge was frosted (but cleaned of frost for measurement), measured by weight at 0g so reporting Trace. It's possible this was only from blowing snow off of nearby trees, but I don't think so. Conditions: mostly clear with clouds to the NE horizon, extremely cold at -6 degrees F. Possibly some sublimation of snow happening in the early morning sunrise. |
| 2025-02-04 | 7:50 AM | 0.44 | 3.2 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was snow, ice pellets, and possibly some freezing rain, measured by weight twice to a total of 0.44". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with metric ruler on a snowboard at 3.2", however, depths highly varied around the yard due to snow sticking and falling from overhead branches/wires. Conditions: cloudy, light snow, 22 degrees F. Note: snow consistency is very wet, sticking to thick and thin surfaces alike, bending small branches. Took at interim reading at 8:18 p.m. last night because snow was sticking to the rim of the gauge so much, that gauge was starting to be blocked. |
| 2025-02-03 | 8:00 AM | 0.04 | 0.8 | 0.04 | 8.0 | 1.30 | | Gauge catch was all snow measured by weight at 0.04". 24-hr Snowfall measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard (and compared to one other location) at 0.8", but likely some settling did occur since the end of snowfall. 24-hr Snowfall SWE taken on a snowboard and measured by weight at 0.04". So, the gauge caught what the ground caught, therefore not much drifting with this overnight precipitation event. Snowpack depth taken with a metric ruler in an open location at 8.2", entering 8.0". Ice layer at the "3 level. Snowpack SWE taken from the same location, measured by weight at 1.30". New snowfall consistency feels between wet and dry, but pebbly. Conditions at observation: completely overcast, with a mist/haze, 19 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-02 | 7:40 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge empty of precipitation but somewhat frosted. Conditions: haze and extremely cold -9 degrees F. |
| 2025-02-01 | 7:50 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge contained a trace amount of snow but not enough to weigh 1g, reporting Trace. Conditions: clear, rising sun, and very cold at 2 degrees F. Note: snow is large flat plates. |
| 2025-01-31 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Empty gauge. |
| 2025-01-30 | 7:50 AM | 0.06 | 1.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, measured by weight at 0.06". 24-hr Snowfall was measured at 10:20 a.m. after snow event ended with a metric ruler on a snowboard as 1.0". (By next observation time, snow had settled to 0.7", not reported, but noted.) During the past 24 hours, some blowing snow off of nearby trees plus an odd flake observed at 5:30 a.m. Conditions: Mostly cloudy, very cold, negative one degree F. |
| 2025-01-29 | 7:37 AM | 0.24 | 3.7 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, drifted, measured by weight at 0.24". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 3.7" averaged (readings of 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8"). Snow consistency: on the light side but not the driest. Current conditions: Overcast, heavy snow of small flakes AND graupel balls. 18 degrees F.
Not an exact but remarkable copy of yesterday's conditions. |
| 2025-01-28 | 7:50 AM | 0.26 | 3.8 | 0.26 | 8.1 | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, drifted, measured by weight at 0.26". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 3.8" (another place was 4.0 but drifting has occurred so going with snowboard today). 24-hr Snowfall SWE taken from the snowboard and measured by weight at 0.26". Snowpack Depth measured with a metric ruler in an open location at 8.1". New snow consistency is mostly light but also "driven" in that it worked its way through cracks and stuck onto the north facing window screens. Conditions: clear, sun rising, 6 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-27 | 8:00 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was a very small amount of snow flakes and graupel, not enough to register 1g, so reporting Trace. Same for 24-hour Snowfall on the snowboard. Conditions: partly cloudy, windy, and 28 degrees F. The not-so calm before the storm. |
| 2025-01-26 | 7:40 AM | 0.04 | 0.8 | 0.04 | 5.0 | 0.69 | | Gauge catch was all snow, drifted, measured by weight at 0.04". 24-hr Snowfall was measured in 3 places with a metric ruler and unusually, all places matched at 0.8". Consistency of snow is small flakes but wet & packy. Took cores because the weather is finally above totally too cold. 24-hr Snowfall core was taken from a snowboard and measured by weight at 0.04" (snap). Snowpack was measured with a metric ruler in an open location at 5.0 inches. There is an icy layer ~1" down and typical 'crustiness' right above the grass. Snowpack SWE taken from the same location and measured by weight at 0.69". Nice to see the sun today. |
| 2025-01-25 | 7:50 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge was frosted. Too hard to tell if there are actual flakes in it, not enough to weigh by far. Flakes observed in the air in the past 24 hours were from snowing blowing off nearby trees. On an elevated wood surface, there was some sparse white 'somethings' but they seemed MUCH more like frost particles than precipitation. Still, judging and reporting Trace, to be on the safe side. Conditions: cold, sunrise through broken cloud deck, 8 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-24 | 7:35 AM | 0.04 | 0.7 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, drifted in a slightly frosted gauge, measured by weight at 0.04". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler at 1 spot in yard and 2 spots on snowboard. Average of readings was 0.7". Conditions: sun just rising, 5 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-23 | 7:30 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Very slight collection of what looks like frozen fine drops at the bottom of the gauge, drifted, reporting Trace but precipitation JUST started. Conditions: Cloudy and a relatively warmer 15 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-22 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Empty gauge and no falling snow observed in the past 24 hours, reporting 0". Conditions: clear, very cold, zero degrees F. |
| 2025-01-21 | 8:10 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, very dry and slightly drifted, yet would not pull even 1g on the scale, so reporting Trace. Trace snow on snowboard. Conditions: very cold, partly cloudy, air is dry. |
| 2025-01-20 | 8:10 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge was empty but a few flakes were observed in the air at 5:45 a.m., reporting Trace. Same for 24-hr Snowfall. Conditions: mostly clear but high clouds, very cold at 2 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-19 | 8:20 AM | 0.20 | 0.2 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was mixed rain, melted snow, and snow with a large solid ice layer at the bottom, measured by weight at 0.20". 24-hr snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.2". Note on precipitation: Yesterday's rain and snow varied in intensity throughout the day (including a few odd flakes flying in the air at 8 p.m. and 5:15 a.m.) but no real freezing rain or sleet was observed. Instead, most of the precip was snow that fell and then immediately began melting. This has created an ice layer on what were cleared surfaces. So ice is present, but it's from melted snow, not directly from any (radar indicated) falling ice. Conditions: partly cloudy and a falling 10 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-18 | 7:40 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Empty gauge. |
| 2025-01-17 | 7:33 AM | 0.02 | 0.3 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, drifted, measured by weight at 0.02". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.3". Conditions: cloudy, light snow, and 23 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-16 | 7:43 AM | T | 0.6 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow measured by weight at 0g, but visually seen (and it was snowing) so reporting Trace. 24-hr Snowfall measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard, snow depth varied, reporting 15mm equivalent of 0.6". Conditions: cloudy and snowing, snow flakes are large, light, and conglomerate. |
| 2025-01-15 | 8:17 AM | T | 0.2 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, measured by weight at (1g) 0.004", reporting Trace. 24-hr Snowfall measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.2" (varied between 0.2", 0.25" and 0.3"). Conditions: very light snow, cloudy, 15 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-14 | 9:00 AM | 0.05 | 0.8 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, drifted, measured by weight at 0.05". Conditions: cloudy and 22 degrees F.
Note on 24-hr Snowfall. At least 2 separate snow events: 1st lake effect event started ~8 a.m. yesterday. Snow was wet and 'packy', good for making snowballs. Measured snow with metric ruler on snowboard at 3:15 p.m. (snow stopped at 3:30 p.m.) at 0.8" average (0.6", 0.8",1.1"). Did not clean off snowboard. It snowed a little overnight. By 9 a.m. the next day, total snow measured with metric ruler on snowboard was 0.7". Compared to another elevated wood location, the lowest layer of snow was melted, so definitely some melting/settling did occur during the past 24 hours. Reporting 0.8" as a pre-settled amount but there was snow from the second event that was not measured separately. |
| 2025-01-13 | 7:28 AM | 0.03 | 0.6 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, drifted, measured by weight at 0.03". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with metric ruler on a snowboard (and compared to one other location) as 0.6". Conditions: cloudy with no active snow at the time, and a relatively warm 29 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-12 | 8:23 AM | T | T | NA | 4.3 | 0.58 | | Gauge catch had a trace of snow and frost, with no change in weight, reporting Trace. 24-hr Snowfall was 0.05" estimated on a snowboard (compared with an elevated wood surface which had a scant flake or two) with a metric ruler, so reporting Trace. Snowpack depth taken in an open location with a metric ruler at 4.3". Snowpack SWE from core at that same location. Note: consistency of core had a distinct icy layer at the bottom so separating the icy layer from the grass was impossible (captured a few blades of grass and lost some ice back to the ground, so it evened out, I hope), measured by weight at 0.58". Conditions: cloudy and 20 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-11 | 7:26 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Another empty gauge day, however, a few snow flakes were observed in the air at 5 a.m.. Conditions: cloudy and 18 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-10 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Empty and dry gauge. Feels like a long time since I've seen that. Conditions: clear, sunshine, cold. |
| 2025-01-09 | 8:35 AM | 0.13 | 3.2 | NA | 6.5 | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, slightly drifted, measured by weight at 0.13". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler at 2 locations on a snowboard and one other (2.8", 3.0", and 3.7") and averaged to 3.2". (Obvious slight drifting occurred). Snow consistency is very light, full flakes. Snowpack depth was taken in 2 open locations with a metric ruler, both measurements were 6.5" with a icy layer noted just above grass level. Conditions: sun through cloud layer, 9 degrees F, not snowing, little to no breeze. Typical winter weather. |
| 2025-01-08 | 8:06 AM | 0.03 | 0.4 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, measured by weight at 0.03". 24-hr Snowfall was measured on a snowboard (and compared to one other location) at 0.4". Snow quality is medium sized flakes, light and fluffy. Conditions: cloudy, cold, and 4 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-07 | 7:25 AM | 0.11 | 1.5 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, not very drifted but some settling had occurred in the gauge, measured by weight at 0.11". 24-hr Snowfall measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 1.5". Conditions: light snow, very cloudy, 13 degrees F. Snow consistency is small flakes, very light, visibility impacted. |
| 2025-01-06 | 8:05 AM | 0.01 | 0.1 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow (gauge was gradually frosted from bottom (thinly) to top (thicker), measured by weight at 0.01". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 0.1" Conditions: mostly clear and a very cold minus 2 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-05 | 7:23 AM | 0.07 | 1.2 | 0.07 | 2.5 | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, with very slight drifting, measured by weight at 0.07". 24-hour Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard at 1.2". Compared to another location, same measurement. 24-hour Snowfall SWE taken and measured by weight from the snowboard at 0.07". Snowpack depth measured with a metric ruler in an open location. Notes on consistency of snow: 24-hour snowfall consists of light, large, fluffy individual flakes with distinct shine/gloss. No combined flakes seen. Snowpack has an icy layer just above the grass. Conditions at observation: cloudy, light snow, 15 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-04 | 7:37 AM | 0.02 | 0.2 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, measured by weight at 0.02". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard and compared to another location at 0.2". Conditions: light snow, cloudy, 11 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-03 | 8:10 AM | 0.05 | 0.6 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was all snow, measured by weight at 0.05". 24-hr Snowfall measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard and checked against another location at 0.6". Conditions: mostly clear with a few clouds to the east, 21 degrees F. |
| 2025-01-02 | 7:35 AM | 0.43 | 1.3 | NA | NA | NA | | Gauge catch was rain, melted snow, and snow measured by weight at 0.43". 24-hr Snowfall was measured with a metric ruler on a snowboard (on the ground) at 1.3". Conditions: cloudy with light to southeast horizon, 29 degrees F, a cold wind, mid-storm but no current precipitation. Note: snow fell much of the day yesterday and melted at the same time through much of the observation period. Snow consistency is crunchy with an icy layer at the bottom. |
| 2025-01-01 | 7:50 AM | 0.18 | 0.0 | NA | T | NA | | Gauge catch was rain, measured by weight at 0.18". Conditions: rain about to transition to snow (a wet flake may be about), 33 degrees F. Minor puddles. |
