12/21/2011 1/16/2012 4:30 PM 27 2.48 10.0 2.48 This may not be accurate. We were gone for over three weeks and the rain/snow gauge was overflowing (the top bit fell off when I moved it). There were 2" of ice at the bottom of the gauge, which represented rainfall, probably, rather than snow. The core precipitation is what was accumulated over that time IN THE GAUGE.
