10/20/2010 7:00 AM 0.85 M M M M The clouds came from the ENE. This is the first time (in 10 years) that I have witnessed precipitation from clouds coming from this direction. Some thunderstorms accented the lite rain that fell most of yesterday afternoon and last night. Hail up to 3 mm in diameter fell during the storms centered directly over my home. When this happened, the time between lightning flashes and the thunder was about 1 second or less. Sure scared the cats!

2/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.96 2.5 M 2.5 M Precipitation is a result of rain, tiny hail, and snow. High winds may have skewed snow depth readings, so it is a best estimate. Ground is 100% covered with snow, but it is composed of three layers: snow; ice; and snow.
2/20/2011 7:00 AM 0.56 6.0 0.56 8.0 1.22 100% of ground is covered with snow. The new snow is a light damp powder, perfect for snowballs. There is a hard crust of ice under the new snow, left from the snow/rain mix from the previous day.

2/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M Snow covers about 50% of the ground. The deepest parts are about 3.5". This gives an average depth of 1.75" in the snowy areas, and a little less than an inch of average snow depth for all of the ground area.
2/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.39 3.0 0.39 4.0 M Snow now covers 100% of the ground. Yesterday morning, before the storm, about 50% of the ground was covered with a depth of 3.5" in the deepest regions (to give an average of 1.75" in the snowy areas). This morning, with 3" of new snow, depth ranges up to 6" --- to give a total average depth of a little less than 4".
2/27/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M There appears to be about 80% of the ground still covered with snow. The snow depth ranges from 0 to 5.5". So, the average snow depth for all of the ground is 2.2".
2/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M Snow covers less than 50% of the ground. Snow only remains mostly in the shaded areas. It is about 3.5" in the deepest parts. So there is an average depth of 1" of snow. A core reading was taken from an area with a snow depth of 3.5". 0.98" of snow melt was recovered from this location. The inch closest to the ground was mostly ice.

3/20/2011 7:00 AM 1.12 13.5 1.12 13.5 1.12 We have snow and it has been falling steady since yesterday afternoon. I didn't take a core sample and instead just used the large cylinder of my gauge to collect and measured the snow melt. I think that this may not be an accurate reading.
3/21/2011 7:00 AM 2.81 21.5 2.81 31.0 M The melted snow didn't fall into the gauge. I had to take a core sample using the gauge. It is a good sampling of water content of the new snowfall. Electricity (Edison) is out, phones are out, only county roads are being plowed, so private roads are snowed in, unless someone has the equipment to plow. Heavy Duty 4WD trucks are getting stuck, and medium sized tractors are getting stuck.
3/22/2011 7:00 AM T T M 21.5 4.24 Snow covers 100% of the ground. A hard crust formed over night (low temp of 14.2 F). No electricity and no phone (cell or land line), but no pipes froze.
3/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 15.5 M Snow remains on 99% of the ground. Average depth is now at 15.5" -- compacted to about half the original height in 2 days. We are now discovering broken trees and many broken branches. One of our pinion trees snapped in half (at 14" diameter). Many of the older canyon oaks are breaking and splitting too (the nature of the tree with a snow load). Neighbors have lost trees as well -- one pinion snapped in half at about 18"-20" in diameter. Wild birds are suffering, from lack of food. We are still snowed in, since our driveway needs to be cleared (110' of dense snow), so I can't report on a larger area. Many neighbors have dug out and find the roads cleared and smooth driving. We regained Edison electric power early this morning. It had been out since early Sunday morning (nearly 3 days).
3/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.39 3.6 0.39 18.5 M There is still about 99% of the ground covered with snow. A few tiny areas under trees are bare.
3/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.11 T 0.11 14.0 M Snow still covers about 99% of the ground.
3/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 11.0 4.10 Snow coverage around 98% -- small patches of ground are visible under some trees. Melting snow reveals more broken branches. Tree damage seems, so far, to be moderate. I estimate that 1/3 of the larger pinion trees have sustained minor to severe damage. The majority of the canyon oak have some broken branches. Several trees killed by the Day Fire (2006) have fallen down, but about 80% or more are still standing. Wild birds are very hungry, and have seen one dying. Lockwood Creek (middle fork) is depositing silt and small rocks across Boy Scout Camp Rd.

So the average depth of snow for all areas is about 1.33" I sampled a 4" core of remaining snow and it had a SWE of 1.71" . Lockwood Creek, middle fork, now flows swiftly and has risen to about 5" deep (in the middle) where it crosses Boy Scout Camp Rd. The worst damage that is visible from the roads in Lockwood Valley seems to be around Owl's barn, north of the TXI Plant, where many large trees have snapped in half or lost large branches.

7/5/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Days are unusually hot this early in the summer. Temperatures are not dropping significantly at night. Air is still, except during thunderstorms that occurred in the early afternoon and then again in early evening yesterday. Little precipitation. Flying insects are overwhelming this year -- the worst in 11 years that I know. No-see-ums (never noticed them in the past), gnats and flies, including horse flies are so abundant that spending time outside is extremely difficult. These bugs are active by 9 am and don't go away until after dark. In previous years, the gnats don't become bothersome until late July, but gnats and flies have been very active since mid June. Surprisingly, the yellow jackets, that accompany these flying bugs, are missing. Perhaps the yellow jackets help to keep the other populations down. Still clearing up the damage from the wet snow storm in late March. Many trees, canyon oak and pinion, were damaged and need damaged limbs removed or trimmed back.
7/6/2011 7:00 AM 0.12 M M M M Thunderstorms with measured rainfall from late evening, yesterday.
7/7/2011 7:00 AM 0.33 M M M M Rain for about 1 hour yesterday early afternoon. Driving Boy Scout Camp Rd and Lockwood Valley Rd, after the rain, I saw several places where debris had been washed over the road. The dip of the road across Lockwood Creek on B.S.C.R. clearly had been flooded high enough at one point to have been hazardous for small cars to cross. Saw a helicopter and a few staffed Forest Service Trucks watching local area closely along Lockwood Valley Rd and was told that there was a false forest fire alarm -- water vapor was mistaken for smoke. Lots of mosquitoes this year and getting bit a lot. They may be coming from the neighbor's ponds, or Lockwood Creek that is still running across BSCR.

9/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.38 M M M M Two large thunderstorms yielded this rain. No lightning viewed, just lots of VERY loud thunder. This is the first real rain we have had in months. Quail are now moving closer to my home searching for food. I didn't feed them this summer since pigeons were eating most of the grain. The pigeons are now gone. Weather feels like we're through with the severe heat strokes up here. We kept all windows closed last night -- the first time in months.

Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
12/26/2010 12/27/2010 7:00 AM 2 0.49 2.0 M this record reflects total storm accumulation. storm began on 12/25 pm and ended on 12/26 am. observations recorded on 12/27 am. approximately 70 percent of the ground is covered with snow, ranging in depth from 0 to 2 inches.
1/2/2011 1/04/2011 7:00 AM 3 0.93 8.0 M most of the snow fell on jan 2 and early jan 3. the depth of snow, 8 inches, was taken early jan 3 after snow stopped falling. the snow collected in the rain gauge outer cylinder, was melted and measured as 0.93 inches.
3/6/2011 3/07/2011 7:00 AM 2 0.12 M M I was out of town during rain/snow showers. Winds that followed the storm could have evaporated some of the water in the gauge. (Perhaps one day of winds.) This reading shows the water that remained in the gauge.
