The whole house was creaking and groaning and you could feel the wind in gusts coming through and the windows moving back and forth in the frames. And this is a brand new house with great windows. That was a bit unnerving!! |

It snowed hard, mixed with sleet until about 2pm. About an inch of accumulation. Then the sun came out, temperature shot up to 45 and the snow disappeared. |

| 2026-02-23 | 7:00 AM | 0.43 | 2.3 | 0.26 | 2.0 | 0.26 | | Not sure the SWE is very accurate. I measured snow depth when it stopped snowing last night. Since then the wind has been howling on the mountain all night. We're currently sitting in the dark by the gas logs. The wind has swept most of the snow away, but the back deck seems to still be about 2 inches deep, so I did the core there. |

| 2026-02-16 | 6:53 AM | 0.64 | NA | NA | NA | NA | | A nice steady gentle rain all day yesterday. The ice is gone except where it was piled up. |

| 2026-02-13 | 6:11 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 0.7 | 0.61 | | Ice cover is more bare ground than ice at this point. I would've put .5" for depth but then I couldn't record the SWE correctly. Where it is piled up it's going to take awhile, until the temperature stays above freezing, but it's hard as a rock again this morning with temps in the low 20's. |
| 2026-02-12 | 7:01 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 1.0 | 0.99 | | Lots of bare spots! I have to admit, this stuff is melting faster than I thought it would. My core samples are from the north side of the house where it hasn't been disturbed. Many places around the house are bare, and it's about 2" deep in the shade. My core was 1.02 SWE, but the app won't let me submit that. |
| 2026-02-11 | 7:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 1.5 | 1.41 | | Ice depth is anywhere from 0-3 inches, depending on hill aspect and what it's laying on. Finding a clean undisturbed site for a core is getting tricky. Temperature went up to 56 yesterday and is still 50 this morning, so the stuff is at least getting a bit soft. |
| 2026-02-10 | 6:40 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 3.3 | 1.95 | | Still solid though it seems a little soft on top this morning with temps just above freezing. Chiseled out a circle with the pry bar, my best friend these days, and microwaved the chunks. |
| 2026-02-09 | 7:03 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | It only got up to 30 yesterday. I'll try another core tomorrow. Hopefully it will melt slowly this week. We still have 2-3 inches of ice everywhere except where it's been scraped or on some of the south facing hills. |
| 2026-02-08 | 6:57 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | The high was 25 yesterday and it is 11 degrees this morning, but at least the wind died down. I doubt the SWE changed much. I'll be curious how long it takes this stuff to melt even after it gets up to the mid 50's. |
| 2026-02-07 | 7:00 AM | T | NA | NA | 2.8 | 2.41 | | Cold and windy this morning. Ice has refrozen hard again. Snow showers off and on yesterday afternoon didn't amount to anything, but apparently after it cleared the mountain the clipper put down some decent snow totals east of us. |

| 2026-02-05 | 6:05 AM | T | T | T | 3.8 | 2.13 | | 26 this morning and everything hard as a rock again. We had snow showers for an hour or so yesterday morning, but it didn't amount to anything. Core is my best estimate again using the pry bar to cut a core out. |
| 2026-02-04 | 6:48 AM | T | NA | NA | 3.0 | 2.98 | | We had just a skiff of snow last night. A little melting yesterday, the temperature got up to 42. Ice depth ranges from 2.5 - 4.5, depending on where you are, but the ice is still hard and it's 32 degrees this morning. |
| 2026-02-03 | 6:30 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 4.0 | 2.43 | | Second verse, same as the first. Pry bar, cut a core. It got up to the mid thirties yesterday, but the stuff is so hard, I have no idea how long it will take to start melting. |
| 2026-02-02 | 6:36 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 4.0 | 2.44 | | Same drill, this stuff ain't getting any softer! Pry bar, cut a cylinder out, melt it down. Now we pray we don't get warm too fast or have a rain storm on top of this!! People are building complete igloos in Virginia!! |
| 2026-02-01 | 6:58 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Just use yesterday's! It only got up to 21 degrees for a high and the sun never came out. It's 12 this morning and windy! Trust me, nothing changed!! We never even got a flurry yesterday. |
| 2026-01-31 | 7:22 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 3.9 | 3.14 | | I had to move to a new spot so this is going to look a little wonky, but I'm not following exact procedure anyway, so take it for what it's worth. Used the pry bar again to hack out a square about the size of the gauge. No one told me I was going to need to be Yukon Cornelius for this assignment!! Rats, still no gold! |
| 2026-01-30 | 6:30 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 3.3 | 2.48 | | OK, my core is an estimate. I realized I could take the pry bar and cut a square about the size of the first circle I cut. Melted that down in the microwave. It was a solid block of ice. People are ice skating on uncleared parking lots!! This is crazy!! |
| 2026-01-29 | 6:29 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | There is still every bit of 3-4 inches of solid ice on the ground but I have no idea how you'd measure it short of an artic core drill!! |
| 2026-01-28 | 6:24 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 4.0 | NA | | A core is NOT possible. I cracked my rain gauge just trying to mark a circle!! The metal spatula won't even penetrate the surface much. The 4 inch depth is a best guess. The sleet has turned to solid rock!! I pity the folks who haven't gotten their driveway plowed yet!! |
| 2026-01-27 | 7:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 5.4 | 2.03 | | My core sample this morning was my best effort. The sleet is solid and adhered to the ground. I marked a circle on top with the gauge and then chiseled a cylinder out with the handle of a metal spatula. I lifted the cylinder out and put it in a large measuring cup. There was a bit of debris in my sample so I had to estimate how much that added to my core. Did what I could.Its 10 degrees here this morning. |
| 2026-01-26 | 7:11 AM | 1.63 | 4.2 | 1.63 | 5.8 | 3.34 | | It sleeted all day yesterday until after dark. You can walk on top of it this morning!! Thankfully, no freezing rain!! Core sample was ... let's say challenging. |
| 2026-01-25 | 7:14 AM | 0.87 | 3.3 | 0.87 | 3.3 | 0.87 | | There was very little snow in this. I was up at 4am and there was only about an inch on the deck. It must have changed to sleet much sooner than predicted. It is currently pounding sleet and 15 degrees. Just praying it doesn't change to freezing rain as fast as it transitioned to sleet or this is going to be a shit show +! |
