Wind is moderate with gusts.
11/19/2016 5:00 AM 0.77 0.5 M 0.5 M 5:00 AM temperature: 26 F. Windy, gusty. Sky cloudy. Snow accumulation of 0.5 inch is the best I can get - snow has melted on all pavement; the grass has a coating with openings; 0.5 inch is approximately the thickness of the coating, which is held up in the air somewhat by the grass blades. Thus I have to estimate where to place the bottom mark of my snow "ruler".
11/20/2016 7:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 7:45 AM temperature: 24 F. Sky: cloudy - but sunrise just after 7:00 AM was beautiful with bright orange clouds. Wind light or calm.

11/24/2016 6:45 AM 0.07 T M M M Some snowfall observed yesterday, but melted when it hit the ground, so "Trace" in "accumulation of new snow" is likely an underestimate. 6:45 AM temperature: 33 F. Sky: cloudy. Wind light or calm.

Wind: calm or very light. 3.0 inch snowfall is on the snow-board; due to warm conditions, snow on sidewalk and residential street is less. Snow is squashed down to what looks like bare pavement, or close, where car tires have driven over it. Snow fell as large flakes; the snow-fall is both fluffy and "wet" - good for making snowballs.
12/5/2016 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 6:30 AM temperature: 26 F. Frost crystals sparkle on the residential street, under the street-light. Wind: very light. Sky mostly cloudy; some stars visible in cloud breaks.

Snow yesterday: flurries - snowy spots and bare spots on ground, just enough to measure 0.01 inch in gauge. On local residential streets, the flurries on top of the street ice in the center makes for VERY slippery driving - easy to get the car going sideways.

The snow has settled, giving a LOWER total thickness than it was for the previous snowfall, so I have no valid direct measurement. 7:00 AM temperature: 3F. Wind: moderate. Sky: Cloudy with possibly a few open spots (still to early in AM to tell - too dark)
1/13/2017 7:55 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 7:55 AM temperature: -5F. Wind: calm. Sky: overcast, gray. Some blowing of snow yesterday blew a small deposit into the gauge tube; I do not think there was any snow fall.

This is one of the few places in the neighborhood to get frost.
