11/20/2016 7:00 AM M T M T M Light dusting of snow only on cold surfaces, on roofs of cars parked on street, my back deck, and the deck table = Trace.
11/21/2016 7:00 AM M 7.0 0.41 7.0 0.41 Snowfall has continued since yesterday's Trace, and small flakes are continuing to come down now. Light, fluffy snow, with no icy layer at bottom of core.
11/22/2016 7:00 AM M 1.6 M 4.6 M Most of the 1.6 inches of new snow has come overnight and this morning. Yesterday's 7.0 inches of new snow has melted and compacted, and wind has caused variations in total snow measurements from 3.8-5.0 inches, with the average of 4.6 shown below. Fine flakes are continuing to fall.
11/23/2016 7:00 AM M 0.5 M 3.6 M Tough figuring the total snow depth -- wind made almost bare spots and piled up snow in others.
11/24/2016 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 1.2 M Yesterday's sunshine created bare spots totalling 1/3 of my yard, and melt reduced the maximum undrifted snow depth to 2 inches, giving the total depth of 1.2 inches. A thin frozen glaze on my otherwise bare snow board is reported as a Trace.
11/25/2016 10:00 PM M 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Returned home in evening after overnight and day away for holiday; found no snow on ground except what was left in piles from plowing or shoveling.

12/7/2016 7:00 AM M 0.9 M 1.0 M Took new snow accumulation at 1am, as wet snow was stopping. Total snow depth at 7am was actually less, 0.8 in., but rounded to 1.0 in.
12/8/2016 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 T M The only snow left is from isolated or protected areas that don't get the sun, or piles of shoveled snow.
12/9/2016 7:45 AM M 1.1 M 1.0 M With no snow on the ground, it started snowing around 2pm when I left the house yesterday. At 8:30pm last night when I returned the snow had stopped, and I measured the snowfall then as 1.1 inches. By this morning's measurement the total snow was exactly 1.0 inches. An occasional slow flake is coming down now.
12/10/2016 7:00 AM M 0.2 M 0.5 M New snowfall measuring 0.2 inches taken at 9:30pm last night after snowfall had stopped; 0.5 inches total snow taken at 7am this morning.
12/11/2016 7:00 AM M 0.2 M 0.5 M Just a dusting of new snow last night, resulting in a total snow measurement of 0.6 inches this morning.

12/13/2016 9:15 AM M 0.0 0.00 1.5 M Starting to get sunny by the time I checked the snow depth.
12/14/2016 7:00 AM M 0.5 M 1.0 M All the new snow had fallen by 9:30pm last night, and was measured then. The actual average total snow depth measurement this morning was 1.2 inches, rounded to 1.0.
12/15/2016 7:15 AM M 0.4 M 1.5 M Windy; new snow is really dry, fine.
12/16/2016 8:00 AM M 1.5 M 2.0 0.13 Measured the new snowfall at 2:15am as 1.5 inches of very fine new snow, when it had virtually stopped. At 8am a bare Trace had been added, nowhere near 0.1 inches, and the total snow depth then averaged 2.2 inches. The total snow core sample was taken from that average depth.
12/17/2016 7:30 AM M 3.0 M 4.5 0.41 Overnight snow had stopped by observation time. Depths ranged from 4.2-5.0 inches, the lower values perhaps caused by deer foraging on previous days, but the new 3 in. uniform layer made it hard to tell this morning where they'd been.
12/18/2016 8:30 PM M 0.3 M 1.5 M Returned home from nearly 36 hours away, from just after 7:30am yesterday, to measure the amounts shown below. Snowing lightly.
12/19/2016 7:00 AM M 0.1 M 1.5 M Note that this 0.1 inches of new snow has occurred only in the last 10.5 hours (not 24), since I returned home last night.
12/21/2016 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 1.5 M Frost on car windows and car body surfaces. Total snow depth slowly reducing, actual average is 1.3 inches today.
12/24/2016 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 1.0 M Lots of animal tracks over the past few days in the settled snow make it hard to determine an undisturbed total snow depth, but 1.2 inches seems about right.
12/27/2016 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No snow left except in the piles left from plowing or shoveling.
12/28/2016 7:55 AM M 0.8 M 1.0 M From bare ground, both the new snowfall and the total snow depth are 0.8 inches, but the latter rounds to a reported total snow depth of 1.0 inches.
12/29/2016 8:00 AM M 0.5 M 1.5 M Snowing lightly.
12/30/2016 8:00 AM M 0.2 M 1.0 M Measured yesterday's new snowfall last night at 11pm -- 0.2 inches -- and there had been only a faint additional Trace dusting when I measured the snow depth this morning.
12/31/2016 10:30 PM M 0.4 M 1.5 M Returning home after being away from 12/30 at 1pm until observation time (10:30pm) today, found 0.4 inches new snow (well settled) and 1.6 inches snow depth.
1/1/2017 6:30 AM M 0.0 0.00 1.5 M No new snowfall since 10:30pm last night (yesterday's measurement), and same snow depth.

1/9/2017 7:00 AM M 0.1 M 0.5 M This small amount of snow fell yesterday morning.
1/10/2017 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 0.5 M With only an original snow depth of 0.5 inches and only 0.1 inches of new snow these last few days of below-freezing temps with sunny intervals, about 1/3 of the yard is bare now, changing the average snow depth to 0.3, which still rounds to 0.5 to the nearest half inch.
1/11/2017 7:00 AM M 0.8 M 1.0 M The new snowfall ended by 4:30pm yesterday (1/10/2017) and I measured it as 0.8 inches. Then the sleet came and created a thin but slippery surface on top. The actual snow plus ice depth still measured 0.8 inches this morning.
1/17/2017 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Even though freezing rain was predicted for early this morning, there is no evidence of any precipitation at observation time.

1/27/2017 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 1.0 M With 1/3 of ground bare, the actual average snow depth was 0.7 inches.
1/28/2017 11:00 AM M 0.3 M 0.5 M Returned home late morning, while snow was still falling softly.
1/29/2017 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 0.5 M Just starting to snow lightly at observation time. About 1/3 of yard was bare, so that zero figured into the average depth of 0.6 inches.
2/1/2017 8:00 AM M 0.2 M 1.5 M Accumulation since 10pm last night when returned from 2.5 day absence (see multi-day report) = only 0.2 inches. Average snow depth - 1.3 inches.
2/2/2017 7:00 AM M T M 0.5 M With ca. 40% of the ground bare, the average snow depth was 0.5 inches.
2/6/2017 7:00 AM M T M 0.5 M Just a few flakes in the air yesterday morning. With ca. 40% of the ground bare, the snow depth averaged to 0.5 inches.
2/7/2017 7:00 AM M T M 0.0 0.00 Trace of new snow were some flurries in the air during the day.

2/9/2017 7:45 AM M 2.8 0.28 3.0 0.28 New snowfall of 2.8 inches is very fine and dry, and snow continued to fall lightly until 8:15am. Coincidentally the water equivalent from melting the core was 0.28 inches. The 3.0 inches for the total snow value was just rounded up from the 2.8 measured, since there was no snow on the ground before this snowfall.
2/10/2017 7:00 AM M 0.3 M 3.0 M
2/11/2017 8:00 AM M 0.4 M 3.0 M
2/12/2017 10:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 1.5 M Big wet sleet-y flakes coming down at observation time, which seem to melt when they hit the ground, though they're accumulating as slush on the cold car surfaces.
2/13/2017 8:00 AM M 1.1 M 3.0 0.27 Windy and snowing at observation time. The new snow accumulation was the sum of 0.3 inches of ice measured yesterday plus 0.8 inches of snow this morning. The total snow and ice depth was 2.8 inches, with a water equivalent from a melted core of 0.27 inches.
2/14/2017 8:00 AM M 0.2 M 2.0 M Total snow depth averaged 2.2 inches, rounding to 2.0.
2/15/2017 8:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 1.5 M
2/16/2017 8:00 AM M 2.4 M 4.0 M Total snow depth averaged 3.8 inches, rounding to 4.0.

2/18/2017 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 3.0 M
2/19/2017 8:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 0.5 M Half the ground is now bare after 60-ish temps yesterday, so that was factored into the average snow depth.
2/20/2017 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 T M Trace total snow is based on the remaining patches left.

2/27/2017 7:00 AM M 0.4 0.00 T M The new snow arrived yesterday (2/26/2017) soon after the observation time, and was measured about noon. By this morning, it was but a trace in places not exposed to the sun.

3/3/2017 8:30 AM M 0.2 M T M Total depth of snow is actually 0.2 inches, and that rounds to 0.0 to the nearest half inch, but since it isn't zero actually, it logically rounds to a Trace.
3/4/2017 7:30 AM M 1.5 M 2.0 M Snow is really light and airy.

3/14/2017 8:00 AM M 2.5 M 3.0 0.31 Measured total snow depth was 2.8 inches. Small snowflakes still falling densely.
3/15/2017 8:00 AM 1.15 10.5 1.15 13.0 1.53 New snow depth taken at snow board, but because of windy conditions last 2 days the total snow depth ranged all over. Took a depth that seemed representative of the area around the snow board, rather than an average, which would have been around 11.5 inches if I included the larger wind-scoured area. And because the gauge tube is only 12 inches tall, I measured the melted snow core value first from the new snowfall depth rather than the total snow depth, and reported it also as the 24-hr precipitation value. Then I re-used the tube to get a core value for the 13-inch total depth, which should be fairly accurate as well, since this cold-weather snow would have compressed to accommodate fitting a 13-inch snow column into a 12-inch length tube.
3/16/2017 8:00 AM M 1.0 M 12.0 1.62 Again, because of the wind the past 2 days and the trees and houses nearby, the depths range from bare to over 13 inches. I chose a representative depth (12.0 in) near the snowfall measuring pad rather than a strict average (which would have included the bare patch) and took a core sample at that depth.

3/23/2017 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 M M Missed measuring total snow depth this day.
3/24/2017 9:30 AM M 0.0 0.00 1.5 M Raining at observation time. Total snow depth includes 1/5 of yard area being bare.
3/25/2017 9:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 0.5 M Half the ground is bare, so that's averaged into the total snow depth.
3/26/2017 7:00 AM M 0.0 0.00 T M Light rain. Trace of total snow = just what's left from shoveled piles.
3/27/2017 7:30 AM M 0.0 0.00 T M Light rain. Last little piles of snow are all that's left.
