Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
12/8/2013 12/21/2013 9:00 AM 14 1.75 1.5 M Three snowstorms occurred during this time which I was not set up to monitor. Total liquid collected in this time is reflected in this report. We had approximately 10-11" in the area I usually take my daily readings, but there was no snow pad set up to be accurate. Temperatures in the 50s today (and in the high-60s tomorrow) are rapidly melting everything.
2/5/2014 2/21/2014 1:45 PM 17 4.10 M M The total reflects melted precipitation accumulated in my rain gauge since the large snowstorm on 2/4/2014, before the rainstorm of 2/21 begins. There are no accessible locations on my property that have undisturbed, measurable snow. Almost every inch of lawn/deck/garden was used for blown snow off the paved areas or where the snow ploughs piled it up. A visual estimate of the natural snowpack is estimated to be 10-14 inches. Obviously no core samples can be taken at this point.
5/16/2014 5/19/2014 9:00 AM 4 1.03 M M According to my automated weather station, the only precipitation during this period occurred on May 16th, between 1pm and 11:30pm. (CM Note: Changed start date from 5/15 to 5/16 as it conflicted with a single day report on 5/15. Original report submitted 5/19/2014 11:59 AM.)
9/24/2014 9/26/2014 7:50 AM 3 0.40 M M This was the entire rain event that occurred overnight 9/24 through the afternoon of 9/25. Precipitation began around 7:45am and ended around 3pm, with heaviest rain being recorded between about 9-10am (not particularly heavy, but that was the heaviest).
