2/3/2015 8:40 AM M 0.5 M M M Blizzard yesterday followed by hard freeze. Gauge is frozen to support. Total snow frozen too hard to measure, can't insert ruler. Air temp. 4 degrees F., unusual for this region.
2/5/2015 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 M We were away all day and gauge was not out. No evidence of rain or fresh snow. Snow on ground is frozen so hard cannot drive ruler into it. Got minimum depth estimate by measuring depth of my bootprint.
2/9/2015 10:30 AM 0.25 4.5 M M M Old snow is frozen rock hard; I cannot drive a ruler into it. I do not sink into it when I walk on it. Air temperature has been very cold - single digits- for last couple of days. It is snowing lightly right now.
2/10/2015 9:30 AM 0.01 2.5 M M M As noted yesterday, old snow is frozen so hard I cannot force a ruler into it to measure it.
2/11/2015 8:50 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 M M Snow is frozen solid, too hard to drive ruler into it. Deep footprints left from previous days are at 8-9 inches deep.
2/12/2015 10:50 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Snow is frozen solid - cannot drive ruler into it to measure depth. Temp has stayed below freezing since blizzard. Original bootprints about same depth.
2/13/2015 9:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Frozen too hard to measure - cannot drive ruler into snow pack more than 3 inches, but bootprints from previous days are up to 8 inches deep without getting down to grass.
2/14/2015 8:50 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Snowpack is still frozen hard, cannot drive ruler into it. Bootprints from two days ago are 4 to 6 inches deep. This is already being referred to as "the blizzard of 2015."

2/21/2015 9:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M 6.0 M Temperature has stayed below freezing continuously now for several days, in single digits F. Snowpack frozen rock-hard.
2/23/2015 9:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cannot drive ruler into snowpack to measure - frozen rock-hard. Air temperature 16 degrees; has stayed below freezing for several days now.
2/24/2015 9:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 M Snow pack appears to have condensed some but is still very hard. I walk on it without making footprints. News reports say this is going down in history as "the blizzard of 2015."
2/26/2015 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.0 M Snowpack is irregular in depth, having been walked on by dogs, a fox, an otter, and a family of deer (buck, doe, and two fawns) over the last few days. (I try to step in my own previous footsteps.)
3/1/2015 9:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M 6.0 M Snowpack frozen solid as noted in past few days; cannot measure depth. Has stayed below freezing with no new snow so presumably the same.
3/4/2015 9:30 AM 0.72 2.0 M 9.5 M
3/8/2015 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 9.5 M
3/11/2015 9:10 AM 0.31 M M 12.0 M The increase in the measured depth of the snow is probably due to softening of the snowpack during warmer temperatures (up to 40o) in the last day or two.

10/18/2014 10/19/2014 9:15 AM 2 0.70 M M The first day of the multi-day accumulation period was actually 10/17/2014, but the site won't let me change it. I tried to use the little up-down arrowheads to the right of the date, but they don't work either. I had this problem some months ago, reported it, and received lengthy directions to work around it, but they could not be implemented on our computer. Hope you can enter the correct first day, 10/17,in your records.

2/14/2015 2/15/2015 2:00 PM 2 0.41 7.0 7.00 Snow is frozen too hard to take core. What does "Precipitation field" (in "Errors") mean? No such measurement listed in Accumulation Form. What does "Core Precipitation" mean? How hard is it to fix this site?
2/27/2015 2/28/2015 9:00 AM 2 0.00 6.0 M Snowpack still frozen too hard to measure depth. It doesn't even make footprints when I walk on it. Air temperature is 12oF in full sun.
