10/31/2011 2:30 PM M M M T M I was away for the weekend and didn't measure the new snowfall since 10/27. But when I got back today at 2:30 pm there was still a trace of snow on the roof and in shaded areas. Snow on the ground (in various depths) all the way from Virginia to just south of Scranton, PA.

12/16/2011 7:00 AM T T M T M Trace of sleet over night, with a little bit of it still on the grass in the morning.
12/17/2011 9:00 AM M 0.5 M 0.5 M Snowing moderately hard at observation time, and accumulating.
12/18/2011 7:00 AM M 0.3 M 0.8 M 8 degrees at observation time.
12/20/2011 7:00 AM T T M T M Trace of new snow on the ground this morning, after the previous snow melted in the warm weather yesterday.
12/23/2011 7:00 AM M 0.1 M 0.1 M Dense fog this morning at elevations above about 1400'. Visibility < 100 yards.
12/24/2011 7:00 AM M 0.3 M 0.3 M
12/27/2011 7:00 AM M 0.0 M 2.0 M No report for the past two days due to being out of town. There was some new snowfall during that time but due to warmer temps I can't tell how much at this point. But I got a new snow stick for Christmas!
12/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.40 0.2 M 0.2 M The amount of snow contributed an insignificant amount to the "rain and melted snow" amount. It was nearly all rain and did not change over to snow until after 11 pm. Dense, swirling fog in the hills last night, very poor visibility in places.
1/3/2012 4:00 PM M 4.0 M 4.0 M I was away this weekend, but I am not entering this snow as a multi-day accumulation because I am told that there wasn't any new snow before the past 24 hours. I returned home to a lake effect band hanging overhead. It shifted to the east and back a few times. LES clouds are very distinct here--low and somewhat shallow, but DUMPING snow while they are here.
1/4/2012 7:00 AM M 0.1 M 3.5 M Finger Lakes LES flurries continued during the day and evening yesterday but there was little accumulation. 3F at obs time this AM, little or no wind.

1/6/2012 7:00 AM T T M 2.0 M Trace of LES flurries but no accumulation.
1/7/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M Gorgeous yesterday--temp topped out at 53 in downtown Ithaca, maybe 45 up here. Good to see the sun!
1/8/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M Another beautiful mostly sunny day. The high here was 50. Snow measurement is an average--we have bare spots but still about half the yard has a shallow layer of snow cover. At this time of year my property does not get a lot of direct sun due to the hills.
1/9/2012 7:00 AM M 0.3 M 0.5 M Snow in the AM yesterday has given us full snow cover once again.
1/11/2012 7:00 AM 0.39 0.0 M T M
1/13/2012 7:30 AM 0.63 3.0 M 3.0 M Rain measurement is rain only--not snow. Snow is falling heavily at obs time. Not sure what time the rain changed to snow but if it was in line with the NWS forecast discussion (that it would occur around 5 am) then we are getting snow at rates of 1" per hour or more right now.
1/14/2012 7:00 AM M 4.5 M 7.5 M Yay snow! Storm total 7.5" and just after yesterday's obs time, snow was falling at a rate of over 2" per hour. The wind did not seem to be a factor up here like I see it was for others. No notable drifting.
1/15/2012 7:00 AM M 0.5 M 7.5 M -3.1 F at obs time. The LES bands missed us for the most part yesterday. Light snow fell almost all day but little accumulation.
1/16/2012 7:00 AM T T M 6.0 M 3.0 degrees at obs time. The high yesterday was 12. Periodic LES flurries but the main lingering band was centered more over the village of Brooktondale and the Coddington Valley. No notable accumulation here. Fluffy snow from before has settled considerably.
1/17/2012 7:00 AM M 0.0 M 5.7 M Boo! My nice fluffy snow has turned into mush.
1/18/2012 7:00 AM 0.24 0.0 M 3.0 M The predicted wind/front hit as expected but it was still startling in just how fast it popped up. Out of nowhere, in a couple seconds...zero to fifty. Temp was 39 F at 11 pm, now 24 F.
1/19/2012 7:00 AM M 2.0 M 2.0 M Precip was a mix of snow and ice with a good deal of re-frozen stuff on the ground. 6.0 F at obs time and hoarfrost.
1/20/2012 7:00 AM M 0.3 M 2.0 M 8 F at obs time, which appears to also be the overnight low as the temp dropped between the time I got up and obs time.
1/21/2012 7:00 AM M 2.1 M 4.1 M
1/24/2012 7:00 AM M M M T M Precip measurement = rain only. Snow rapidly melting due to rain and warmer temps, measurement is an average with lots of bare spots appearing.(precip of 0.12 inches is a bit high for the area and it was too warm for new snow, 0.2 inches. Probably should be snow depth. contacted volunteer, waiting for response - KV)
1/25/2012 7:00 AM T T M T M There was a mix of wet snow flurries and freezing rain last evening. Noticeable icing on the secondary roads at elevations above about 1300' and even more so above 1500' (to the point where I almost slid off my own road at 10 mph).
1/26/2012 7:00 AM T T M T M Dusting of snow overnight.
1/27/2012 7:00 AM 0.31 T M T M A few wet flurries fell but did not stick, and then it turned to rain. 44 F at obs time.
1/28/2012 7:00 AM 0.08 0.2 M 0.2 M Rain during the day changed to snow in the late evening.
1/29/2012 7:00 AM T 0.2 M 0.5 M The precip at my house was sleet and snow for the most part. There were a very few drops of rain in the late afternoon before it changed over.

1/31/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M
2/1/2012 7:00 AM T 0.0 M T M 45 F at obs time, light rain.

3/2/2012 7:00 AM M T M 1.5 M What was rain in the valley appeared to be snow flurries at this elevation. I suspect there was a bit more than a trace of snow but as temps warmed up it melted and I did not actually observe the accumulation at my station because I wasn't there during the colder parts of the day. Snow on colder surfaces in the vicinity would imply 0.1 or 0.2".
