11/8/2012 7:00 AM 1.25 8.1 M 8.1 M The melted snow is an estimate at this time. Could not accurately melt the snow as I have no heat in the house presently. I did measure the snowfall at 7:00AM and was shocked to learn so much snow had accumulated. Later in the day, the rain gauge snow melted and this melted snow measurement is all I can provide. I believe it to be fairly accurate.
11/9/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precipitation. All snow refroze last night, even though air temperatures were only at 34F. Many tree limbs snapped from accumulating snow from Athena nor'easter. Gasoline lines still immense and now odd/even rationing mandated.

3/9/2013 7:00 AM 0.22 M M 3.4 0.88 I could not measure new snowfall because it had melted. My gauge caught it though, and that's the value you read in the "Rain & Melted Snow" observation. The existing snow has compressed considerably, and shrunken in height. I was able to successfully obtain a core and observed a portion of it to contain ice and wet snow at it's base. I melted it, and it's values are reported in the "Total Snow & Ice on Ground..." observation. Full sunshine also observed this morning!
