12/19/2009 6:55 AM 1.80 15.3 1.80 12.5 1.93 Gauge was read in stages throughout the event period to yield the new snow accumulation and melted values. Total snow was taken in the usual manner. Notice the difference in depths, the latter being due to settling. See Significant Weather Reports (2) for this station.
