12/9/2009 7:00 AM M 4.5 M 5.2 M Mix of sleet and snow at observation time.
12/10/2009 7:00 AM 0.31 0.5 M 3.5 M After yesterday's observation, sleet fell for quite a while but I was not home to measure it--warm temps in the afternoon had shrunk the snowpack a lot by the time I got home. The new snow measure is an estimate.
12/11/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M Sorry for the late report.
12/12/2009 7:00 AM M 1.5 M 3.5 M
12/13/2009 7:00 AM M M M 3.0 M Bright blue sunny skies all afternoon yesterday! I'll take what sun I can get this time of year.
12/14/2009 7:00 AM 0.20 T M 2.0 M Rain, freezing rain, and snow fell at various times yesterday. Sometimes all at once. Less than .1" of ice but it persisted at this elevation, into the evening. Within about a 1-2 mile radius of my house there were slick spots on the roads.
12/15/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M
12/16/2009 7:00 AM 0.04 2.5 M 3.5 M Rain measurement does not include melted snow. We had a mix of rain and snow at the end of the day, turning over to all snow after dark.
12/17/2009 7:00 AM M 4.0 M 3.0 M About 4" of fluffy snow but it was difficult to measure due to windy conditions. Took an average of 5 locations.
12/18/2009 7:00 AM M 1.0 M 3.7 M 0.5 degrees at observation time, no wind.

12/21/2009 7:00 AM M 0.1 M 2.0 M
12/23/2009 7:00 AM M 0.5 M 2.0 M It is difficult to measure the snow the way the wind has been blowing lately, and with dry fluffy snow that drifts freely. I am estimating the snowfall this morning and the current location of the snow stick does not appear to be all that great.
12/24/2009 7:00 AM M T M 2.0 M Flurries most of the day but no accumulation of which to speak.
12/25/2009 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M
12/31/2009 7:00 AM M 0.2 M 0.7 M Snowing lightly at observation time.
1/1/2010 7:00 AM M 1.7 M 2.4 M
1/2/2010 7:00 AM M 3.3 M 5.7 M Wet snow yesterday turned to drier, fluffier snow overnight as temps dropped. 11 degrees and snowing lightly but steadily at obs time, with some wind that may be drifting the snow. I suspect that we got closer to 5-6" of snow but it's hard to guess even with an average. Drifts are a foot or more deep. I'm going with the snow stick today.
1/3/2010 7:00 AM M 3.0 M 7.0 M High winds, wicked wind chill, drifting...difficult to measure the new snow, but I am estimating about 3" in this time period. There are bare spots on the ground, and then 3.5 foot snow drifts.
1/4/2010 7:00 AM M 1.5 M 7.0 M Once again with the wind, the snow amounts are an estimate. Snow cover varies from bare ground to 4 1/2 foot drifts and it seemed nowhere was sheltered enough even to take an average. I would estimate that we have gotten about 9" of new snow since last Thursday, possibly more.
1/5/2010 7:00 AM M 2.7 M 8.0 M While today's new snow is more accurately measured (much less wind!) I am still estimating/averaging the depth due to the past drifting.
1/6/2010 7:00 AM M 2.7 M 8.5 M
1/7/2010 7:00 AM M T M 8.0 M A glaze of ice was on everything this morning, maybe .1" or less. I observed freezing drizzle at the higher elevations (above 1500' or so) around 18:00 last night but am not sure how long it continued. Some snow yesterday morning but no real accumulation.
1/8/2010 7:00 AM M 2.5 M 8.0 M Freezing drizzle continued during the day yesterday but no significant icing. Turned to snow sometime in the night. 21 deg and snow at obs time.
1/9/2010 7:00 AM M 8.9 M 14.0 M 8.9" of snow was measured at the stick but it could have even been a bit more due to slight drifting. There is so much leftover drift from last weekend it was hard to even do an average. Very nice LES snow band set up over us for the entire evening with snowfall rate of .7" to 2.0" per hour.
1/10/2010 7:00 AM M 1.1 M 14.0 M
1/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 13.0 M 4.5 F and calm at obs time. Still estimating/averaging snow depth due to past drifting.
1/13/2010 7:00 AM M 5.5 M 10.0 M Surprise! More LES. This was a heavier snow than last week, and there was not much wind but I am still estimating to a certain degree because of past drifts and the fact that I missed the entire snowfall (being out of the house) and was unable to view my stick before it came down. The previous fluffy snow has settled a lot.
1/14/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 10.0 M Nice day. Cracked the freezing mark for the first time in a long time. The sun even came out.
1/16/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
1/17/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 M The snowpack has shrunk considerably due to the break in the temperatures this past week and the fact that much of the snow came down as fluff. Amazing how acclimated I've gotten to winter when 35 feels warm. There was a bit of hoarfrost this morning.
1/18/2010 7:00 AM 0.39 0.0 M 6.0 M It does not appear we got any snow overnight despite the prediction that at this elevation it would be snow. It appears to be all rain, or else what snow there was melted quickly. 32.6 and foggy at obs time.
1/19/2010 7:00 AM M 2.2 M 6.0 M Heavy wet snow falling at obs time, temp 29.2 degrees.
1/20/2010 7:00 AM M 0.7 M 6.0 M
1/21/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 6.0 M Skies cleared overnight and the temp dropped to 9.6 F by obs time.
1/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 M Beautiful sunny day yesterday, clear cold night, 11.6 at obs time. Days are getting noticeably longer! Another sunny one on tap for today.
1/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.0 M Another nice, sunny day yesterday. Beautiful hoarfroast this morning.

1/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.35 0.0 M 3.0 M 50.2 degrees at observation time!! SE winds.
1/26/2010 7:00 AM 0.98 T M 0.5 M The only snow left is the drifted areas and piles but because those patches are large I am still recording the snow as .5" which is an estimate. The trace of new snow is in the form of very light flurries which are falling at observation time. Rain measurement does not include snowfall, just rain.
1/27/2010 7:00 AM M T M 0.5 M A tiny amount of snow was sticking to the ground this morning, very light flurries.
1/28/2010 7:00 AM M 0.2 M 0.5 M
1/29/2010 7:00 AM M 0.4 M 0.5 M 6.4 F at obs time. I was in Ithaca when the snow squall hit--pretty impressive. Literally a wall of snow and some seriously black clouds. My office building shook a little when the front and the wind hit it.
1/30/2010 7:00 AM M 1.0 M 1.0 M -2.1 at obs time. Not sure what the wind chill is. Steady LE flurries yesterday up here in the hills but not much accumulation.
1/31/2010 7:00 AM M T M 1.0 M -3.2 at obs time and a nice moonset this morning too!
2/1/2010 7:00 AM M 0.2 M 0.7 M

2/6/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M Another dry day...I feel like I am getting ripped off for snow this winter! My friends in DC and MD are getting more snow this winter than we are.
2/7/2010 7:00 AM M T M 1.0 M
2/8/2010 7:00 AM M 3.0 M 4.0 M Due to windy conditions, the new snow amount is an estimate. LES band set up overhead yesterday and this morning, producing steady snow.
2/9/2010 7:00 AM M 1.5 M 3.0 M
2/10/2010 7:00 AM M 3.7 M 4.7 M 3.7" of heavy wet new snow overnight--it's like driving on butter out there. At this rate I would not be surprised if we slipped into warning amounts by the end of the day at the south end of the county. I guess it doesn't quite follow county lines like the map says...
2/11/2010 7:00 AM M 3.1 M 8.5 M There was some drifting of the new snow (despite how heavy it was) so I took an average. Storm total was 6.8" Back to the LES now--snowing lightly but steadily at obs time, 16 degrees, and a cold 315 wind. (sorry I keep editing, I can't do math this morning)
2/12/2010 7:00 AM M 0.1 M 5.5 M Light layer of fluffy in the AM
2/13/2010 7:00 AM M 1.2 M 6.5 M It appears from the radar that a little lake effect...blob (not so much a band) has set up on top of us overnight and this morning. Snowing moderately at obs time, very fluffy and light.
2/15/2010 7:00 AM M 1.3 M 8.0 M LE flurries throughout the day but not much accumulation.
2/16/2010 8:00 AM M 0.6 M 6.5 M Beautiful day yesterday, high 26, sunny blue skies! A little snow overnight which was picking up in pace at observation time.
2/17/2010 7:00 AM M 1.1 M 7.0 M Light LES during the day and night but little accumulation.
2/18/2010 7:00 AM M 5.5 M 8.5 M It seems we have had a lot of LES up here this year. Yesterday it snowed consistently and steadily here in the hills whereas at the lower elevations it was more like flurries. Some drifting due to moderate NW winds.
2/19/2010 7:00 AM T 0.2 M 8.5 M A little snow overnight, with a trace of freezing rain as well. Not FR enough to measure, just a crust on things. Mixed snow and light freezing drizzle at obs time, no hazardous road conditions noted.

2/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 8.5 M Nice sunny, warm day yesterday! Not putting much of a dent in the snow up here, though.
2/23/2010 7:00 AM M 1.6 M 9.5 M Underneath last night's snow was a negligible amount of ice but I am not sure if it was due to thawing and refreezing, or due to freezing rain.
2/24/2010 7:00 AM M 0.7 M 10.1 M
2/25/2010 7:00 AM M 2.6 M 12.6 M The snow has started and is already accumulating at a good pace. I'm looking forward to a real snowstorm!
2/26/2010 7:00 AM M 20.0 M 30.0 M Quite impossible to say how much snow we got, with the drifting. I am going to have to say at least 20". There was 13" for sure by 5:00 yesterday and it only got worse in the night. I literally can't get out of the house because my door is blocked. There is drifted snow up to the hood of my car and drifts in the yard up to my waist. There is a 6-foot drift in the backyard. My 3-foot snow stick is buried. Best snowstorm all winter! And it's still snowing. I won't be leaving the house until April.
2/27/2010 7:00 AM M 4.5 M 39.0 M Some new snow after observation time yesterday, then a break, and then more in the night. I have a meter stick in the yard and it's buried.
2/28/2010 7:00 AM M 3.6 M 39.0 M What was a mix of rain/snow in the valley yesterday was all snow up here, although temps remained just above freezing during the day.
3/1/2010 7:00 AM M 0.6 M 38.0 M
3/2/2010 7:00 AM M 0.4 M 38.0 M Some light snow during the day and night. Temps just above freezing but not making much of a dent in the massive snowpack.

3/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 32.0 M Beautiful sunny day. Snowdrops are up in the valley, although we are still buried in snow up in the hills.

3/10/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 24.0 M Another gorgeous sunny day yesterday. I saw a robin in Lansing and crocuses in downtown Ithaca. Snowpack at my house has shrunk 10" in the last several days.

3/14/2010 7:00 AM 0.20 0.0 M 8.0 M Rain didn't pan out here very much.
3/15/2010 7:00 AM M 0.0 M 6.0 M I forgot to check the rain gauge this morning. Will come back and edit later but wanted to report the snow melt now. The snow is shrinking at a rate of about 4" a day.

3/18/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M Actual bare patches appearing! There are still shady drifted areas in the field that are 12-18" deep (they were originally 6' deep).
3/19/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M I am now averaging snow because the space by the stick is clear. There are still shaded and drifted areas. I will continue to report at least a trace until it is all gone (unless we get more!).
3/20/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M Average for snow.
3/21/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M Averaging the snow. There is still quite a lot left in the shade and drifted areas.
3/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M Snow is shrinking but still with large patches in the yard. About 50% bare now.
3/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.83 0.0 M 0.3 M Average on the snow. The back yard is nearly clear, what remains is a drifted shaded area about 1/2 acre total that still ranges up to 6" deep.
3/24/2010 7:00 AM M 0.4 M 0.5 M
3/26/2010 7:00 AM M 0.7 M 0.7 M A chilly 19.3 at observation time with .7" of very crusty icy snow stuck to the sides of everything.
3/27/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M Never got warm enough yesterday to melt much of the snow from the last report.
3/29/2010 6:45 AM 0.28 0.0 M 0.3 M Still snow in the drifted areas but none in the main yard, as of yesterday.
3/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.3 M Still have a pretty large patch of snow behind the house (averaging the depth considering most of the ground is bare)
3/31/2010 6:30 AM 0.83 T M 0.2 M Nasty, cold, wet, windy day yesterday. Blech.
4/2/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Yes, we still have a big patch of snow up here despite the 70+ temps.
4/3/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Still have a sizeable patch of snow out back, but it's shrinking.
4/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Still got that patch of snow...

4/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M No rain in gauge, but it appears there is very heavy dew to the point that the grass and the road were wet. I expect that the last of the snow patch will be gone by the end of the day.
4/9/2010 7:00 AM 0.20 M M 0.0 M SNOW IS GONE!! T-storm yesterday evening, nothing severe, just a couple rounds of thunder and it was gone.
4/10/2010 7:00 AM T T M T M The day after the snow was gone, we got some more. Just a trace...but still. Come on, spring!

5/9/2010 7:00 AM M 0.1 M 0.1 M ACK! There is SNOW. Sticking to the ground. On my freshly mown lawn. Actively snowing at observation time, and 31.8 degrees. Extremely windy yesterday, but I don't think my wind gauge is reading it accurately. I would estimate based on Beaufort that winds were in the range of 40-50 mph at times.
5/10/2010 7:00 AM T 0.1 M 0.0 M Yesterday's snow stuck on the ground for a while, and more was added after observation time. It flurried on and off the whole day but after a point was not sticking, and the previous snow had melted. The high winds continued, making for a wind chill quite below freezing. Frost overnight and 30.2 degrees at obs time.
