| 2026-01-30 | 7:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 4.0 | NA | | Most of the observation period was sunny/clear, aside from patchy pre-dawn cloudiness. The 4-inch solid snowpack (icepack) has not budged and can still be walked across, although many 1/4 to 1/2-inch fissures have developed, likely due to diurnal expansion and contraction of the surface. The high temperature on January 29 only reached 28°F, and the current reading is 7°F. |

Skies were clear overnight, but the low of 13°F was warmer than expected, as a breeze continued and atmospheric decoupling did not occur. |
| 2026-01-26 | 7:00 AM | 1.28 | 2.5 | NA | 4.5 | NA | | ***Edited from earlier report to add 0.23" that fell after 5 pm on January 25, due to gauge being frozen into place.
