11/10/2012 8:49 AM 0.11 0.0 M 0.1 M Calm winds from the NE, fog, freezing rain and drizzle. Snow pellets on the ground. No accumulation of snow on snow board. Snow board was all frozen ice accretion mixed in with some ice pellets which measured 2/16=.1 Ice Accretion on objects measured at 2/16"=.1. Ice accretion on tree twigs was on north side of twigs. We are presently getting freezing rain and drizzle at this time. The precipitation in my rain gauge was froze ice and some white on the bottom, I assume ice pellets. Very calm. We are at 31*F at our location. Blades of grass is all ice and crunches. Depth of ice is under .5".
11/11/2012 8:20 AM 0.50 5.8 M 6.0 0.60 I started measuring at 7:40 AM, it took me awhile to get this done. Yesterday I measured 2/16"=.1 of ice accretion and I took another measurement in the afternoon which was 1/4"=.3. I am not sure what to do with those figures today? I measured my snow board for ice and it had ice accretion of 1/4"=.3 this morning. We have very light snow at the present time, calm, some sunshine filtering through some high clouds @ 19*F. Yesterday was a very different day with precipitaion changing and we had fog. We have very good visibility at this time. Thick ice covers everything. I had some trouble this morning with my mouse, it really ran me late!! The rain turned to snow around 9:00 last night. I went and took a average total snow fall at 2:30 which measured 5.72 and melted value from core, SWE was .58.
11/12/2012 8:14 AM T 0.1 0.00 6.0 0.60 Cloudy, windy from the NW @ 16*F.Burrr! We still have all the ice accumulation, we need sunshine to melt some of that off. My SWE was taken yesterday afternoon before the snow settled. I reported it yesterday afternoon and will report it today for SWE Monday's. Just a trace of snow in my gauge and snow board.

Coming home sand/salt mixture helped melt it down but still will take a few number of days to get it all off. We had sunshine yesterday. There is still lots of ice accumulated on trees, bushes, fences etc. We welcome sunshine!

I measured at 4PM where we recieved the 1.4" and this morning another .3". I thought I'd measure incase the strong winds would blow off the snow from my snow board, but we didn't get the winds that was predicted. It snowed pretty much all through the day and ended between 7-9 PM.
12/10/2012 8:23 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 5.2 0.93 Clear, strong wind from straight south @ -6. Wind chill this morning. Burrr, it was very cold doing chores! I took my Total SWE later this afternoon after it had warmed up. My SWE was taken through a very hard pack of snow and ice. We first recieved some drizzle a few weeks back that made 1/4" ice accretion. Then we got very wet snow on top of that. We had some snowfall after but last week we got rain on top of that layer. The yard is all different in layers. I went around and measured but the ice was hard, so I took my stove pipe cylinder and cut out some holes and then measured from that because the ruler had a hard time going through the hard layer. I just averaged them out. There was some drifting in places with our last new snowfall. I measured at grass level for the total depth of snow, not pushing the yardstick way down into the grass layer. I accumulated as best as I could for the melted core value. We are getting some light snow tonight. For the rest of the winter, I will have to deal with this hard layer at the bottom of all our new snow. It is the best I could do with what we have on the ground.

I measured snow depth around yard and it varied but I tried to find place where no drifting took place. I tried to get all the snow in my cylinder, or as much as I could. I averaged my snow depth by taking quiet a few measurements. Yesterday was very damp with a good SE wind. It wasn't very warm day at all, even though we had a fairly nice temperature.

1/11/2013 7:56 AM T M M M M Winds coming from the north, light snow or freezing rain/drizzle, visibility at 1/4 mile.Roads are slick and icy. Drive slowly. Foggy. It is 16*F.
1/12/2013 9:35 AM 0.06 1.5 0.35 M M Light snow, blowing snow, visibility is still down to 1/4-1/2 mile or less, winds out of the north. We got lots of snow by the looks of it with the size of our snow banks and it is hard snow. We had light snow yesterday morning but by 11:30-12:00, visibility was already down to 1/4 mile and less. The snow picked up around 5PM and snowed heavily with very strong winds through the night. I will measure this afternoon. Looking at my gauge, not much got in it with the winds. I'll take a core amount on my board. Measurements will be hard being we had such strong winds. Very strong snow system. OB Time: 2:00. Today measurement is not accurate in water content nor inches. My gauge only contained .06 of water due to our strong winds of up to and over 40 mph. My snowboard had only on average 1.5" of snow and water content was .35. I walked the yard and I had snow up to my knees in drifts, other places only to boot. So this storm packed such a hard punch with wind, measurement was impossible. I would say we got around 5" of snow to maybe 6". I am not sure how to measure my SWE on Monday. So much variation in our farm yard.
1/13/2013 9:42 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 M M Clear with some high clouds, calm @ -9*F. Sunshine.
1/14/2013 8:30 AM T 0.0 0.00 9.0 1.76 Partly Cloudy, just a light breeze from the SW and cold @ -6*F. SWE was taking at 11:30 PM. Since we had blizzard with, 40-50 mph strong winds, very difficult to take good average. I tried to find the most sheltered areas. We still have ice at the bottom so using a measuring stick does not get down to bottom until I stick the stove pipe into the snow which cuts into the ice and goes deeper. Very hard to measure and get just a good accurate reading with measuring stick. I took 7 measurements and averaged them out. Snow at bottom is crystallized so it slips out of pipe so easy.
1/15/2013 8:13 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 M M Few clouds to the east on the horizon, clear above and to the west. Calms @ 1*F.

Yesterday was very cold with that north wind but we did have some sunshine during the day which helped brighten up the day. Some area roads were icy in the morning. We must of had light snow and then some drifting during the night or maybe some freezing snow/rain but just enough with drifting to make roads icy.

We had snow showers all day yesterday off and on but last night we received some heavy snow around 12:00 AM. Flakes were huge. It was beautiful watching it came down as we were coming home from a movie. 1.2" average on my snow board. Temperature is not bad, but will be with artic air pushing down on us. I walked yesterday morning, it was very nice and yesterday afternoon it warmed up, sunshine until about 4PM. Then it clouded over.

2/4/2013 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 12.7 2.34 Mostly cloudy, @7*F. SWE was taken yesterday at 2:00 PM. Melted Core Value was taken at 13". In taking a measurement, it is hard to get down to the bottom layer because of ice. Yardstick has a hard time pushing through that bottom layer. Because of drifts and uneven snow cover, I averaged areas that were not drifted in, more sheltered areas.

I measured the 2.5" in the morning before it melted and we had snow showers throughtout the day. The snow melted in the water gauge and froze in the night so this is what the water content was for the snow that fell.

We had very hot weather the whole week, up in the higher 90's or more, heat index extreme with high dew points. My husband kept track of my rain gauge while I was gone, so this is very accurate. We had a cold front come through on Saturday, around 3PM, but we only received .18 from that storm and its hard to believe we did not get dumped on after such a horrible week for high heat and humidity.
