12/26/2016 8:30 AM 0.85 0.5 M 1.5 M One of the hardest precip type events to measure thus far. Every combination of wintry precip was recorded. The layering (bottom to top / chronological) of the mix pancake, about .5" thick, was Freezing Rain, (Rain), Sleet, Wet Snow, Ice, then dry snow. Could not take accurate core sample due to heavy compaction / ice block. Likely around .20"-ish

1/3/2017 8:25 AM 0.22 2.3 0.22 12.5 M With wind blowing the snow off the snowboard it was difficult to tell the depth of the snow. New snowfall as shown was measured by the average total depth minus yesterday's observation. I feel it might be a bit low as I feel confident in the snow I caught in the gauge as the wind only picked up after the snow fell.
