12/28/2015 7:00 AM 0.17 6.0 0.54 14.0 1.62 Snowed all day yesterday, though not as heavy. Breezy. Took 2 total snow measurements 1 the usual spot 14" 1.62"SWE (was able to pull out the crusty old snow from bottom & melt separately, so, ~1" old snow = 0.29"SWE & the new snow = 1.33" SWE). But wind may've blow some away so also measured total snow next to snow board which is more sheltered, got 17" & 1.53SWE". With winds, not sure if total new snow (22", 1.70"SWE added over the 2 days) is a little low (blown away) or a little high (piled up)! Clearly the gauge is quite low though! Now, overcast & calm.
