The snow measurement comes from the bottem of the hill next to a hillside of trees. At the bottem, on mowed grass and under the trees is a layer of snow. Where I measured, it was 1 inch deep and really not snow, but white ice. This probably will not amount to much runoff even if the creek between the two hills goes directly to the Mississippi R. Edited 2/14 I changed the 1"inch on the ground to T. Snow on the ground covers about 5% of viewing area. Where there is snow it is about 1" deep.

Snow began at abt 8:30 am and mostly stopped by 11:30 am then began again around 1:30 and snowed lightly until at least 11:00 pm. Probably the ground measure is most accurate because the wind blew pretty hard much of the time and the snowboard had a layer of ice. By 12:00 pm the snow on the driveway had melted but the snow on the ground did not. New snowfall came from snowboard and snow & ice was all new snow on the ground.
