Including the 3/10 from yesterday’s measure that makes the total snowfall for this system equal to 10.6”. Snow core from 10.3” melted down to .83”. Not sure if I’m to report snow depth today or until tomorrow but I suspect they will be close to the same as today’s reading. (Altho the wind is due to pick up today so snow may get blown around some.) |

The snowboard was wiped clean this morning; however, I did record another 2/10 of an inch late yesterday afternoon. Not much captured in the gauge due to the high winds. There was no way to take a snow core sample to record SWE so I left it at NA. |

Sleet was falling a bit earlier this morning but nothing stuck to the snowboard since temps were too warm.
