This isn't accumulating either. Nothing in gauge. Strong E and sometimes NE winds with even stronger gusts. Should be an interesting day. Yesterday H 35, L 30.
12/29/2015 7:00 AM 1.71 4.1 2.51 3.5 1.41 temperature is 27. Light snow/sleet earlier this morning, this time coating tree branches. Extremely strong winds yesterday; but we had a sleet/snow mixture and, except for just a couple of minutes, missed the frozen rain event (thank God). Lights flickered a couple of times but electric stayed on. The snow on the ground has a 'crust' that you sink through when walking; it's also heavy. Not looking forward to shoveling this stuff. Lost a few tree branches yesterday. Yesterday H 29, L 27. (not a wide range of temperature; just cold)

People who see me probably think I'm nuts. Sunny enough yesterday to make the snow on the gutters drip. Will have to remove downspout extensions today since they're under this frozen tundra; I forgot about them Monday. Yesterday H 27, L 15.
1/3/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.0 1.03 temperature is 19, cloudy. Snow on ground seemed thicker; core sample was heavier than yesterday. Yesterday sunny again. Yesterday H 28, L 16.

Even though it's been sunny during the day, this ground snow isn't giving way to anything. Still walking on top of it instead of sinking in. (total snow swe same as yesterday; not a mistake) Yesterday H 32, L 13.
1/7/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 2.0 0.91 temperature is 30, has been steady at 30 all night, S breezy. Saw pink on radar over us and went outside to check; nothing falling here and nothing in gauge. Yesterday a repeat of day before except not as sunny. Yesterday H 32, L 20.

1/9/2016 7:00 AM 0.26 0.0 0.00 2.0 1.12 temperature is 31, the fog is still with us. Thick fog practically all day yesterday and very dense fog last night. No new snow but the ground snow is so heavy with moisture. A kind of slush (technical term) on top and still ice beneath. Paw prints and foot prints frozen in the snow so tricky to walk on. Yesterday H 36, L 31.
1/10/2016 7:00 AM 0.17 2.2 0.31 5.0 1.39 temperature is 8. Breezy N winds going gusty at times. This snow is easier to walk on; can get a 'grip' and doesn't feel as though you're sliding on it. Off and on snow yesterday starting 09:53; snow in earnest by 14:47. Only one bright star overnight in the S sky. Yesterday H 33, L 15.
1/11/2016 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 5.0 1.41 temperature is -5, no wind. Yesterday gusty N and W winds; partly sunny late morning to early afternoon. Strangely enough, snow blew around some but didn't accumulate in drifts; just leveled on ground. Yesterday H 15, L -1.

Can't really call this rock-hard stuff on the ground snow. Dogs slip on it when I let them out to do their thing. Walking over the hills and valleys of the ice is tricky. Yesterday H 5, L -5.
1/19/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.0 1.19 temperature is -3. Yesterday, again, sunny. Moon out last night and early this morning. Tomorrow before sunrise we'll be able to see five planets lining up and for the next several days. Yesterday H 4, L -6.

1/29/2016 7:00 AM T 0.1 0.01 2.0 1.32 temperature is 16. Yesterday thin covering of water on the ice made walking on it tricky. Trying to walk in the back yard needed some fancy footwork; sort of like a tap dancer gone berserk. A snow globe type of sleety snow yesterday 13:30 to 13:42, with N windy. Then it all stopped. The coating of this rather abrasive snow made walking easier though. Wind back up by 14:46. Yesterday H 32, L 21.

The snow is gone but I didn't think this ice layer would go away until April, but it's practically gone now. Now we have mud, but it's easier to walk on.
