12/7/2016 9:30 AM 0.12 M M 10.0 0.90 It's difficult to find good places to accurately measure snow depth around here. High winds have caused major drifting in some areas while the lawn is exposed in others. I took the accumulated snow core sample from a table on my deck, which seems to be mostly undisturbed by the wind, though it may have caught a bit of snow swirling off of the roof of the house. I haven't put a snow board down yet for the above reasons - where to put it so it won't be covered by a drift or wiped clean by the wind? This storm started during the early morning (sleeping) hours of Dec. 6 and continues.
12/8/2016 10:00 AM T M M M M Light blowing snow at tail end of yesterday's storm didn't amount to much. Melted snow in rain gauge evaporated before I had a chance to measure it.
