12/10/2014 9:00 AM 0.05 M M M M This was a very strange snow. It was almost like snow from the ski snow machine. I think it may have had something to do with our location by the river. On our way home late yesterday afternoon we could see clouds of what appeared to be smoke, but as we got closer, about two miles from home, the seeming smoke became snow. It was almost 0.5 inches total and very beautiful in the trees like hoarfrost.
12/16/2014 9:00 AM 0.31 M M M M Rain first,then ice, then snow.

12/27/2014 11:00 AM 0.35 M M M M My gauge with the higher reading of 0.38 was closer to the snow blowing off the roof. I measured the snow in the gauges to get an approximate snowfall depth of 5 inches. With all of the blowing, any measurement in any part of the yard would be approximate, if not totally off.

3/3/2015 2:00 PM 0.10 M M M M I waited to empty the gauges until it stopped snowing. After that there were a few flurries. For the last several weeks we have had so little snow at a time that the gauges dried out before the following morning's reading, so I wanted to catch it this time before it evaporated. Thus my 2 PM reading.
3/4/2015 9:00 AM T M M M M
3/23/2015 9:00 AM 0.25 M M M M Yea! Finally some precipitation other than Trace. Maybe 3 inches of snow, but I don't measure that...too much variation depending upon where I look!
