Winter storm Draco dumped 11.2" of snow and 1.38" melted value. I took a lot of measurements before the snow dried out and the winds began drifting. The snow kept doing alot of settling throughout the day. The snowfall rate I would guess was 1" plus an hour at times.

I would say we are in a drought at this point.
