11/28/2016 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M A difficult day to report. Had freezing/non-freezing drizzle/fog most of the night. It turned to snow at 8am. I had to melt the 4" tube to get the 0.2mm reading, and put it back out after drying it and sticking it in the freezer so it wouldn't melt the snow while it cooled. Did the best I could. We are expecting a major 2-3 day storm. Strong winds are going to make it difficult to get accurate readings.

12/6/2016 8:00 AM 0.31 4.5 0.32 M M A major snowstorm, with strong winds and heavy drifting. The TransCanada highway is closed in southern Manitoba. We appear to be on the low side laically as 15-30cm are forecast in the region. A couple of bands of heavy snowfall just missed us, so some surrounding areas would have more. Wind probably accounts for the difference in melted amounts of the two samples.

12/26/2016 9:30 AM 0.30 12.8 0.30 M M Very strong winds (to 90km) moved the snow around. I took 10 measurements of depth in an area least affected by drifting. The average of the 10 was 32.4mm. I doubt that the melted measurement reflects the total very accurately - but that is what the gauge caught. I will do a total core soon, which may better reflect the moisture content.

3/19/2017 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I am unable to take a total S&I reading. Our early snow reduced and refroze solidly. Our later snow did the same after blowing into huge drifts and bare ground. There is a 6-8 cm ice layer at ground level, and a 4-6cm of ice a the bottom of the newest snow layer. I can't even get the metal meter stick into the surface and cracked my gauge trying to collect a sample. Although the streets have cleared there has been little runoff from other surfaces. Most of the water equivalent remains above the solidly frozen ground (which was saturated before freeze-up. Some loss has occurred owing to evaporation/sublimation. I will try again if the entire snowpack softens, but it will not be very accurate.
