10/17/2015 8:00 AM 0.04 0.2 0.04 T M VP2=0.02"; NovaLynx=0.04" (note NovaLynx has been covered for the winter after this ob). Snow board was not in place, but I was able to measure the snow depth on the screen in the NovaLynx funnel area. Snow was also caught in the funnel of the CoCoRaHS gauge and was melted to get the equivalent value. Hydreon did not record the snow, start/stop is approximate from heated Davis VP2 data on WU, but this tends to lag actual times.
10/18/2015 8:00 AM 0.45 1.5 M 1.5 M VP2=0.46"; NovaLynx has been covered for winter. 0.1 to 0.2" dia. graupel present in snow on snowboard. Ultrasonic Rangefinder (URF) was 1.46" at 6AM. Snow depth taken at 6:52AM and 8AM, both were at 1.5". Start/Stop times estimated from WU, but from heated rain gauge. Hydreon agreed with Start time.
10/19/2015 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Rangefinder (URF) reports 0.43 inches snow remaining in shaded area. Not enough on average to make "stick" measurement. Snow is mostly gone from large areas.

Significant drifting and blowing of snow. Snowboard depth is an average of four quadrants of the board. Core taken at representative area. Observation is earlier today due to personal reasons. Checked additional areas later this morning. New snow depths vary considerably from as low as 3 inches to as much as 6 inches. 4 - 5" seems typical. Snow board caught a bit of a drift so the amount reported may be higher than typical of other areas.

Ice made snow depth measurements difficult with ice layer breaking and pushing down into the snow. Start/Stop times from Hydreon which may have missed snow event start. Consider this to be a very rough estimate.

2/25/2016 8:00 AM 0.43 4.8 0.41 14.0 M VP2=0.28; SWE by weighing method. Rangefinder signal lost due to snow pack. 16" inch drift with some bare spots. Average in driveway was 6.4", Average on snow board was 4.8". Start/Stop times are approximate and lagging due to snow melt required for tipping bucket to register. Snow started around 6:30PM, stopped just prior to observation close to 6:30AM.
2/26/2016 8:00 AM T T M 14.0 M Some dusting of snow on portions of walkway and snowboard. VP2=0.04", but there was some late melting yesterday so while this adds to the storm total of 0.32", it is not representative of 24 hr. value. URF is snow-packed and inop.
2/27/2016 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 13.5 M VP2=0; Rangefinder target snowboard had a peaked drift directly under the sensor. This wedge shape was probably deflecting the ultrasonic beam in two directions and not returning to the sensor. I also heated the sensor, but there did not seem to be any snow packed inside. The running total will now be lost due to this. Otherwise no precipitation. Depth taken at representative site same as yesterday's average depth.

Representative snow area averaged 8.4", with approximately 50%+ coverage, resulting in the reported 4.5" total depth. This also agrees with the snowboard depth. SWE by weight, melted gauge catch was 0.38".
