Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
11/22/2016 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M
12/2/2016 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Steady but light snow, beginning in the afternoon and continuing into the evening- most intense snow (and some ice) around 8 pm. Total accumulation a meager 1/2 inch
12/9/2016 7:00 AM T M M M M Nearly 24 hours of super light snow, not flurries per se, but just really fine dry snow. Almost zero accumulation. Odd weather
12/17/2016 7:00 AM 0.18 5.5 0.18 5.5 0.18 Water amount not accurate- super windy snowfall, all day, consistent falling snow, totals hard to define due to drifting snow, but likely at the higher end of 4-6 inches
1/5/2017 7:00 AM 0.72 13.0 0.72 15.5 0.90
1/24/2017 7:00 AM T T M 3.0 M Flurried lightly at some point overnight. Almost zero accumulation
3/25/2017 7:00 AM 1.20 4.5 M 4.5 M Rowdy Friday the 24th morning. Blizzard conditions, Raton Pass closed, lots of wet snow, likely more than 4 inches snowfall, but it was a'blowin', so hard to measure. Also, super wet snow- heart attack snow- shoveling was like pushing water around. Needed it, first measurable moisture in a month and a half.
3/27/2017 7:00 AM 0.30 M M M M Wet snow, not sticking (pass closed again) lots of goo
3/30/2017 7:00 AM 0.25 M M M M flurries and a little rain. Forecast threatened up to 11 inches of snow. That didn't happen. NE NM is where weathermen go to murder their careers.
4/2/2017 7:00 AM 0.48 2.0 M 2.0 M Snow and rain, steady at times, about 2 inches accumulation, vanished quickly



Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
11/5/2016 11/07/2016 7:00 AM 3 0.14 M M hard to track rainfall, fell lightly over a course of many hours, off and on. first rain in a really long time
11/24/2016 11/27/2016 7:00 AM 4 0.09 M M Was out of town for holiday, dunno when it rained, but it has been awfully dry and warm, first snow flurries of year on Tuesday about 11am
1/14/2017 1/16/2017 7:00 AM 3 0.60 4.0 0.60 storm started as rain late Saturday night, turned to wet snow early Sunday morning, failed to accumulate because of temps hovering in the mid to upper 30s all morning and evening. Flurries much of Monday morning into the early pm. Again, failed to accumulate because of above freezing temps. Snow fell with some intensity and should have resulted in a substantial amounts of snow on the ground, but temps did not cooperate. Precip totals likely higher, pushing the 1 inch range, but a lot of the snow rolled off the top of the gauge
2/12/2017 2/14/2017 7:00 AM 3 M 4.0 M Light snow fall after warning of significant weather event. Disappointing
4/4/2017 4/05/2017 7:00 AM 2 1.31 4.2 M Snow and rain early Tuesday am, some thunder. Much of it melted, so hard to gauge just how much snow fell. Forecast hopelessly off, again. Some trace of snow sometime early Wednesday am or really late Tuesday night. Last snow day?
4/25/2017 4/27/2017 7:00 AM 3 0.46 T M Rain and snow over several days. Higher amounts 15 miles to the east.
4/29/2017 4/30/2017 7:00 AM 2 0.25 5.5 M Storm blew in around midnight Fri. Blizzard conditions by Sat. early afternoon. I-25 south and over Raton Pass closed, 84/67 east also closed. Lots of wind. Snowed nonstop for nearly 24 hours, but accumulation pretty wimpy. Heavier stuff to north and east. Hard to tell actual snow depth, most snow blew to Texas. Dry snow, little moisture. Wacky weather in ol' NE NM
