Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
10/10/2012 10/15/2012 3:00 PM 6 0.28 M M A big change in the weather, with multiple storms coming into the coast and some of the moisture drifting over the mountains to our area. Lots of rain in the mountains, with rivers looking muddy and streams full.
10/29/2012 11/03/2012 7:00 AM 6 1.00 0.0 M Was warming as we left on the 29th. A Pineapple Express came through with warm temps and lots of rain. All of the accumulated snow vanished.
11/16/2012 11/20/2012 7:00 AM 5 1.96 5.5 1.12 It snowed about 7 inches while we were gone and then it rained hard. This was a big wet storm that hit the coast hard and dumped much snow at high elevations in the mountains.
12/19/2012 12/22/2012 8:00 AM 4 1.30 31.5 M The gauge was chock full of snow. There was 11 in. of new on the snow board, which I left on as it is still snowing. It has been snowing most of the time we were gone. Range of snow depth is 27-33.5 in. avg. 31.5
1/13/2013 1/15/2013 3:00 PM 3 0.00 28.6 4.03 I am measuring the core of the total snow from an area that is untouched. Since the snow is so deep I just plunge the gauge into the snow and dig out around it so that I can slide something under it to keep the snow from falling out. The total snow in the gauge is the vol. of the gauge. Sometimes it packs in more than others.
2/6/2013 2/07/2013 2:00 PM 2 0.13 M M 1.5 in. of new snow last night. It warmed up to 36, which is when I was available to measure the depth.
2/9/2013 2/11/2013 3:00 PM 3 0.00 23.9 3.68
2/21/2013 3/02/2013 2:30 PM 10 0.21 22.6 4.67 Snowed about 2 in. while we were gone, and rained... very slushy. Warm, 45 today. Lots of melt off.
3/14/2013 3/23/2013 3:00 PM 10 0.61 11.6 3.72 The big wet system (3/14) did not do much here. A cold front followed that and we had around 4 in. of new snow. The ground is about 95% snow covered and the Total depth includes 0... with a range up to 18 in. The core was taken from an area with around 11.5 in. of snow. The snow was frozen close to the ground and I had to wiggle and push the gauge into the frozen snow.
