1/9/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 0.5 M 3.0 0.28 An accurate new-snow measurement today is impossible. While snowing yesterday, strong winds were sweeping notable quanitities of old snow off of rooftops, onto the ground, & similarly clearing evergreen tree boughs. I couldn't tell if snowfall at 7:50pm was falling new snow or blowing old snow. At obs time, one of my new-snow boards was bare. The other was bare at one edge w/ 1.9" of snow at the opposite edge. After taking multiple measurements all over the place & considering yesterday's winds, 0.5" new snow is merely my best guess. Clear sky at obs time.

When I measured at 10:40pm, the wind had died down, so drifting had dimished, and I got 13.5" in the same place where I measured 10.5" at obs time.

New-snow boards were blown completely clear, so I applied averages plus a little guesswork to reach 0.3" of new snow.
