The snow on the board melted during the day and then refroze overnight, so there were only unmeasurable blobs of ice on the board this morning. Therefore I have only the liquid measurement from the gauge and the snowpack depth to report today. |

Want able to measure new snowfall from yesterday until this morning, so probably not an accurate depth. I'm pretty sure we had some settling there ... It had looked more like 1.5" or so when the snowfall had stopped in the evening, but I want able to measure it then. |

I wasn't at home to measure the snow on the board after the snow stopped yesterday, so I don't know how much settling, etc, may have occurred. However, there was no melting and freezing evident on the snow board. So I did use the snow board SWE in place of the gauge catch (which was .10") because there was wind along with the snow. |

| 2026-02-25 | 7:45 AM | 0.17 | NA | NA | 25.0 | NA | | There was a lot of wind, so I used the snow board core SWE for the gauge catch. Actual gauge catch was .16". I somehow forgot to measure the depth of snow on the board before taking the core and clearing it. I would guess it to have been about 2", having been 3.5" to 4" when it fell yesterday. But I was unable to measure it at that time as well. Bad brain day.

It started with drizzle in the evening, we have mixed snow and sleet at the moment, and the difference between the gauge catch and snow board SWE indicates rain mixed with the snow. I didn't really find any ice anywhere I've checked, other than a light glaze under the snow on a lightweight steel trellis. |

I'm running out of places to get the snowpack SWE in the front yard. I'll scout around for another location to take representative samples from. Until then, I'll probably take those cores every other week. The conditions are so unfriendly this morning that I'm skipping it today -- have to save my stamina for clearing the driveway.....
The snow is very fine this morning, and heavier (wetter) than expected for the below-zero temps. |

Still, I used the snow board SWE for the precipitation number, as some snow had clearly blown past the rain gauge. Actual gauge catch was .15"
We did have some periods of rain (sprinkles) yesterday, but only a trace. The little bit of ice at the bottom of the gauge accounted for less than .01" of water by weight. EDIT: Changed gauge catch to 0.15” per observer’s notes. Gauge catch and snowfall SWE are rarely the same and gauge catch is often notably less than snowfall SWE depending on wind, etc. CCR Coord TMT |
