11/18/2016 7:00 AM 0.19 3.5 M 3.5 M Snow started falling lightly around 11:00 a.m. yesterday. Stowed pretty steady until right around dark. 3 to 3 1/2 inches total. A bit of wind with it and some drifting.
11/19/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M Snow barely melted at all. Cold and windy day.
11/20/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.5 M Snow settled and melted some. Road is completely bare. Still a covering in fields and shady areas.
11/21/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.0 M Yesterday was nice and sunny. Reached a high of 44. Most of the snow settled and melted in most places. Still some in the grassy areas and shady places.
11/22/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Warm night. Most of the snow is gone. Some remains in shady areas and grassy areas.
11/23/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Pea soup fog this morning. Very frosty. Temperature at 23.
11/24/2016 7:00 AM T 0.0 M T M Freezing precipitation. An icy sheen over everything this morning. Very slick. Temp was 28. Still a few patches of snow hanging around in the shadows.
11/25/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Frosty and a cold 18 this morning. Still some snow hanging in the shadows.
11/26/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Moderate temp this morning - 33.
11/27/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M 32 this morning. Overcast. Light breeze.
11/28/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M 37 this morning. Very windy. Steady at 20 mph with much higher gusts. Overcast.
11/29/2016 7:00 AM 0.02 1.0 M 1.0 M Hard to measure snow with the wind. Wind was steady yesterday at 20-25 mph, with gusts to 40. Right now it is steady at 20. Still snowing. Light, granulated sugar type of snow. Not much moisture content. Temp at 26.
11/30/2016 7:00 AM 0.16 3.0 M 4.0 M Snow came on very strong winds. Impossible to be accurate on either the accumulation total or the melted snow total. The amount in the gauge was miniscule. I tried to do a "core", but I can see from other observers, the totals are all over the place. We have drifts of 2 feet or more in places and bare ground in others. Typical South Dakota. Temp was 22. Wind was steady at 18 at observation time. Highest wind gust recorded was 47.
12/1/2016 7:00 AM T T M 4.0 M 22 degrees. Virtually no wind, for a change. Dusting of new snow. Still hard to determine the actual depth of the previous snow due to the blowing of the past three days.
12/2/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M 20 degrees this morning. No wind. Snow settled a bit yesterday. Still have some big drifts in areas, bare ground in other areas so total accumulation is a guess.
12/3/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M Very frosty and cold this morning. 14 when I got up, then dropped to 9 at sun-up. No wind.
12/4/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M Warm this morning - 33. Light breeze around 6 mph. Snow settled/melted some yesterday, but not much. Still large areas of bare ground, then large areas of drifts. Trying to average out the bare ground with the drifts is guesswork, so take the total depth of snow with a grain of salt.
12/5/2016 7:00 AM 0.11 2.0 M 3.5 M 32 degrees this morning. Snow wet and fluffy. Wind steady at 15 mph.
12/6/2016 7:00 AM T T M 3.5 M Typical South Dakota: 6 degrees this morning, blowing 40. Got a trace of precip. after observation time yesterday. Then the wind started to howl. Now, as usual, there are drifts about 1 foot or so high in some places, bare ground in others. So, as usual again, the total depth of snow is a guess. Oh to live in a place where the snow actually falls like a Christmas card photo... not in SD... not in SD.
12/7/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M Very cold, very windy. Temp at 3 above this morning with a steady wind of 30 mph. Wind chill on my weather station registered at -22 this morning. Put an asterisk and a question mark next to the Depth of total snow and ice, as per the usual South Dakota disclaimer.
12/8/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M Frigid this morning. 4 below with a 15 mph wind. No snow melt, so same totals as yesterday.
12/9/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M Frigid this morning. 4 below. Luckily, no wind for a change. High yesterday was 7. Snow is about in the same shape as previously... drifts in places, bare ground others.
12/10/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M Feel like it's groundhog day... frigid again this morning. Temp at zero. East/southeast wind at 20mph.
12/11/2016 7:00 AM 0.03 1.5 M 4.0 M I will sound like a broken record here... hard to tell how much snow fell because of the wind. The accumulation, as well as the total, is guesswork. At least a bit warmer this morning. A whopping 11 degrees ABOVE zero.
12/12/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.5 M 9 above at observation time. NW wind at 12-15mph. No new snow. A bit of settling yesterday. Got into double digits - about 15 above with no wind and lots of sun.
12/13/2016 7:00 AM 0.03 0.5 M 4.0 M Snow in the morning hours of the 12th. Didn't amount to much and wasn't measurable because of the wind, as usual. Total's are estimates.
12/14/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 4.0 M 5 above this morning. Wind is stiff at around 15.
12/15/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 3.0 M
12/16/2016 7:00 AM 0.08 2.0 M 4.0 M 6 above this morning. Very light breeze around 4 mph. Snow very dry and granular. Overcast and still spitting snow at observation time.
12/17/2016 7:00 AM 0.31 5.5 M 7.5 M -17 this morning. Light wind around 4 mph. Gauge said wind chill was -24 and that we hit a wind chill low of -42 at 4:00 a.m. Steady snow all day yesterday. Not too much wind, but enough drifting to be a bit of a guess on daily accumulation and total. Water content has to be more accurate than previous because the snow fell almost straight down. As good as it gets for South Dakota anyway.
12/18/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.5 M Got to a low of -37 overnight. Gauge said windchill was -53. Was 2 above this morning with no wind at observation time. Got a little windy during the day, so the drifting makes it tough to determine the actual accumulation total.
12/19/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 7.5 M 14 above this morning! Woo hoo, double digits!!! Light breeze at 5 mph. Overcast.
12/20/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.5 M 14 above this morning... windy overnight, but just a light breeze at observation time. Didn't get above freezing yesterday, but snow settled quite a bit.
12/21/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.5 M 31 above this morning with a stiff wind of 35 mph. Snow settled quite a bit. Still hard to make a good measurement. Total is a best guess...
12/22/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.5 M Cold this morning. -4 when I got up. No wind at all. Snow about the same as yesterday.
12/23/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.5 M Much warmer this morning. Around 17 with a 10 mph breeze. Didn't get above freezing yesterday (forecast said it would be 38) so snow didn't go anywhere. Same old, same old...
12/24/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 5.5 M 13 above this morning. Wind 15mph. Fairly warm yesterday, but not much melt. Snow about the same...
12/25/2016 7:00 AM T T M 5.5 M Hoar frost on everything this morning. 21 degrees and no wind at all. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all that good stuff... :-)
12/26/2016 10:30 AM 0.36 6.0 M 10.0 M Power was out for 15 hours. Trying not to sound like a broken record... but... impossible to accurately determine the amount of snow fall. Blizzard conditions for most of the day Sunday and all through the night. There are drifts several feet deep it areas and also areas that are blown almost bare. The measured precip was what was captured in the gauge. Hard to say how accurate that is - winds were fierce. My anemometer froze, too, so I have no way of knowing what the maximum wind gust was. Snow values are guesstimates...
12/27/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 10.0 M -2 this morning. No wind at all. Once again, giant drifts to bare ground. Total snow is a guesstimate. I'll try to do a bunch of measurements today and see if I can determine what's really out there.
12/28/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 8.0 M Some snow settling and additional blowing makes the total snow and ice measurement an educated guess. We have drifts that are 8 feet deep and bare ground right next to them. Tough reporting conditions.
12/29/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 8.0 M 17 degrees this morning, light breeze. Sunny. Nice.

1/1/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 8.0 M Happy New Year CoCoRaHS. Chilly east wind this morning. Was about 2 above when I got up (6:30) but climbed to 12 by 7:00. Chilly wind out of the east about 15 mph. Sunny and warmish yesterday. Snow has settled quite a bit. Still such a crap shoot as to what is actually out there. I wish I could put a question mark next to the total depth - or somehow note that it is just a best guess because of massive drifting. It seems wrong to put an NA when there is so much snow. I kid you not, there are drifts 8' high and there's bare ground, and everything in between.
1/2/2017 7:00 AM T T M M M A small amount of freezing drizzle fell last night. Temp this morning was 12 and fairly calm - wind about 5 mph. Overcast and just starting to spit some snow at 7:00.
1/3/2017 7:00 AM 0.07 1.5 M M M Snowed for a few hours in the morning. A bit breezy, but not bad for SD. 22mph was highest recorded gust of the day. Drifting not too bad because the majority of the snow is set up hard underneath. Going to give up (sorry) and leave NA as the total depth of snow. I don't trust my "guesstimates". Drifts are up to 8' high in places, creeks and ditches are full, draws are filled, fences are covered in places - and then there are patches of bare ground. On the flats and in the pastures, I'd say that the snow is 8 to 12 inches deep.
1/4/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Frigid. -18 this morning. No wind, luckily.
1/5/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 0 this morning with a stiff breeze 15-20 mph. Feels really cold.
1/6/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cold again. 0 with 0 wind.
1/7/2017 7:00 AM T T M M M A light dusting of snow fell around 10:00 last night. Cold this morning again -5, no wind.
1/8/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 10 above with 30 mph wind this morning. Wind chill showing -5. Ground blizzard.
1/9/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 8 this morning. Light breeze. Overcast.
1/10/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 8 above again this morning. No wind now, but it howled during the night. Snow has settled quite a bit, but every time it blows, it drifts the road in so that it is impassable. Big winter. Snow anywhere from 8 foot drifts to bare ground.
1/11/2017 9:00 AM 0.09 1.5 M M M 1 above. Not much wind. Light fluffy snow fell overnight. Overcast and spitting more snow when I checked the gauge.
1/12/2017 11:00 AM 0.11 2.0 M M M Cold again. Down -15 last night. 1 above this morning, virtually no wind. Light snow during the day yesterday. The biggest snow fall obviously was south of us, though.
1/13/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M -17 this morning with no wind. "Why do I live where the air hurts my face?"
1/14/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M -8 this morning, no wind. Frigid. Forecast was for 23 above yesterday and we got to 3. Looks like today will be much of the same.
1/15/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 10 below again this morning. No wind. Husband plowed road yesterday. Took 5 hours to get 2 miles. Huge drifts and snow has set up hard. Tough winter.
1/16/2017 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 17 above!!! Woo hooo!!!! Wind blowing about 20 mph. I'll try to get out and do an SWE and figure out what to report as total snow. Still a bit befuddling there. Didn't have time this morning.
1/17/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M -5 this morning. No wind.

1/20/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 28 this morning with a light westerly breeze. Snow has settled quite a bit the past 2 days with the warmer temperatures. I'm sorry I have no SWE yet. Been too busy to deal with it.
1/21/2017 7:00 AM T T M M M Got light drizzle around 10:00 p.m. Drove from Rapid City where it was raining pretty hard. Got lighter as we headed north. 32 this morning, sunny, no wind.
1/22/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 25 this morning. No wind. Sunny. Snow settling, muddy in spots. Still giant drifts in ravines, ditches, etc. Snowcover on the fields has settled enough to see some grass poking out here and there.
1/23/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 20 this morning. No wind.
1/24/2017 7:00 AM T T M M M Around 20 this morning and starting to snow lightly. Not measurable yet. No wind.
1/25/2017 7:00 AM 0.17 2.0 M M M 18 this morning. Blustery 15 mph wind. Snow fell during the day yesterday. Drifted, of course, with the wind, so as usual the accumulation is an estimate.

1/29/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Wind howling again. Warm, though... 38 this morning. Puddles in the road. Still quite a bit of snow on the fields, big drifts in creek, trees, around buildings. Becoming a mushy mess.
1/30/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very warm the last couple of days in the high 30's even overnight. Wind has been howling, though not quite as bad this morning. SWE Monday brings me some guilt because I still have no way to accurately measure the moisture out there. It took my husband 9 hours yesterday to blow drifts off of our road with a high powered snow blower on a skid steer. It's like driving through a tunnel. Some of the road in other sections is completely bare, as is the area around my gauge. I got stuck in the field on my 4 wheeler. The SWE would be a guess at best, so I continue to put NA. Sorry CoCoRaHS!
