| 2026-02-07 | 7:00 AM | 0.27 | 2.5 | 0.27 | 12.5 | 0.90 | | Very difficult to measure new snow depth and snowpack because of VERY high winds causing drifting. I used the new snow core SWE instead of gauge catch since gauge catch was very low due to wind. Snowpack depth is very variable due to drifting! It is composed of multiple snow events, including 18" on Jan. 25. The snowpack is denser where the wind made it drift more. |

| 2026-01-27 | 7:00 AM | 0.07 | 1.0 | 0.07 | 20.0 | 2.73 | | I used SWE from snow core sample instead of gauge catch reading, because the gauge catch due to wind caused snow to miss the gauge. Gauge SWE was 0.04” but the SWE for 1.0" new snow core sample was 0.07”. |
| 2026-01-26 | 8:30 AM | 1.55 | 12.0 | 1.55 | 20.0 | 2.42 | | I shoveled the large area of ground at my bird feeding area 5 times yesterday. Each time I measured the snow depth before removing the snow. That way I was able to keep a running total of the snow. If I had waited until the storm was over, it would be difficult to get an accurate measurement of the new snow due to drifting from high wind.
I used SWE from snow core sample as gauge catch due to wind that caused lots of snow to miss the gauge. Gauge SWE was 0.71” but the SWE for 12" new snow core sample was 1.55”. |
| 2026-01-25 | 8:30 AM | 0.60 | 6.0 | 0.60 | 9.5 | 1.06 | | On Sunday morning, snow is coming down at about 1"/hour. I know this because I shoveled the ground at my bird feeding area and around the house and an hour later it had 1"+ more snow there. I used SWE from new snow core sample as gauge catch due to wind that caused lots of snow to miss the gauge. Gauge SWE was .30 but the SWE for 6" new snow core sample was .60. |

I was SHOCKED to see that there was a light coating of freezing rain/ice on the western weather side of the gauge today! I used my SWE from a core sample of new snow for gauge catch, since it was very windy and not much snow ended up in the gauge. |
