Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/4/2016 8:00 AM 0.15 M M M M We had a flash of two of lightning and a light shower last evening leaving 0.15 in the gauge this morning.
11/28/2016 9:15 AM 0.59 3.0 M M M We started getting light rain around 3:00pm yesterday and it turned to snow sometime after 10:30pm last night. I estimate about 3 inches of very heavy, wet new snow in the gauge this morning. We are still getting intermittent snow that is mostly melting as it falls with a fairly brisk wind.
11/29/2016 10:00 AM 0.44 4.0 M 7.0 M I estimate another 4 inches of snow overnight leaving 0.44 melted in the gauge this morning. We have had a strong NW wind so snow amount is an estimate. We had 3 to 4 foot drifts around the buildings and most of the flat spaces are blown clear. The total melted amount of moisture so far is over an inch. We are still having snow flurries at times. There has been no mail delivery and roads are very drifted in places in this area.
11/30/2016 10:00 AM 0.24 2.5 M 9.5 M The snow and wind have abated a little today. I estimate another 2.5 inches of snow overnight leaving 0.24 melted in the gauge this morning. The total snow so far I estimate at 9.5 inches with about an inch and quarter of new moisture. The snow has settled some but I still measured 9.5 on the picnic table this morning.
12/1/2016 8:00 AM T T M M M We had just a few flakes in the gauge this morning that left just a drop when melted. The snow continues to settle so I estimate about 6 or 7 inches on the ground.
4/15/2017 4:30 PM 0.38 M M M M At about 7:00am this morning we were woke up with sleet hitting the house. I looked at the gauge at 10:30am and we had 0.32 and then another shower leaving another 0.06 in the gauge at 4:30pm. This is the first moisture we have had since middle of March.
5/17/2017 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M It is cloudy with NE wind and very cool with the occasional sprinkle in the air.
5/24/2017 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The gauge was dry this morning. At 6:00 am the temp was 32 degrees with fog. We have mostly sun with a few clouds now with temps in 60's.
5/25/2017 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M We had a little bit of lightning about 4:00am this morning with s few drops of rain. I had 0.01 in the gauge this morning.



Start Date End Date & Time Duration in Days Precipitation Snow Depth Snow Depth SWE Notes
9/26/2016 10/03/2016 8:00 AM 8 0.00 M M The gauge was dry on all of these days.
10/5/2016 10/06/2016 8:00 AM 2 0.00 M M We had 32 degrees at 8:00am this morning. Plants do not look like they froze, but too soon to tell if this was a light frost.
10/7/2016 10/18/2016 8:00 AM 12 0.06 M M The sidewalk was wet when we went to bed last night leaving 0.06 in gauge this morning. Al other days were dry.
10/19/2016 10/20/2016 8:00 AM 2 0.03 M M The sidewalk was damp this morning with 0.03 left in the gauge.
10/21/2016 10/26/2016 11:00 AM 6 0.15 M M The majority of this rain fell during the day yesterday.
10/27/2016 10/31/2016 8:00 AM 5 0.20 M M Oct 27 and 28 were dry days. On Oct 29 at 11:00am we had 0.20 with drizzle still in the air. Oct 30 there was just a Trace from the drizzle the morning before that ended before noon. Today is another dry day.
11/1/2016 11/16/2016 8:00 AM 16 0.00 M M We have had no new moisture the whole month of November. We have had some unusually warm and beautiful weather most of these days but snow is in the forecast.
11/17/2016 11/18/2016 10:00 AM 2 0.05 M M We had first snow of the season yesterday along with strong NW wind. I estimate just under one inch of new snow leaving 0.05 melted in the gauge this morning. We had our first snow flake about 3:30pm yesterday with main snow starting about dark.
11/19/2016 11/27/2016 8:00 AM 9 0.02 M M I checked the gauge this morning and found 0.02. Since the gauge had not been checked, I am not sure when this moisture came but suspect it was left over from moisture on the 19th.
12/2/2016 12/05/2016 10:00 AM 4 0.00 M M The gauge was dry this morning when I checked it. We started to get snow about 1:00pm today with a Northerly wind.
12/6/2016 12/07/2016 10:45 AM 2 0.05 M M I estimate about an inch or two of new snow from this last blow. Kind of hard to measure with the very strong wind we had yesterday and today. It is difficult to get out to gauge in these conditions. This morning the melted value in the gauge was 0.05 from the new snow. I estimate about 6 or so inches of snow still on the ground.
12/8/2016 12/11/2016 10:00 AM 4 0.13 M M Winter continues to settle in with another estimated 4-5 inches of new snow that fell with light winds. This snow was very dry and powdery so there was only 0.13 melted in the gauge this morning for the last few days. I estimate at least a foot of snow on the ground.
12/12/2016 12/18/2016 8:00 AM 7 0.31 6.0 M This moisture and snow measurement was done yesterday after the snow storm. The gauge was read about 11:00am and the 0.31 was the melted result. Today we have had mostly clear skies with a NW wind that is sifting a little snow out in the open. The temp was -25 below at 10:30 last night and -15 below at 8:00am this morning. We are in the single digits since about noon today. I estimate 5 to 6 inches of new snow with at least a foot or more still on the ground.
12/20/2016 12/29/2016 8:00 AM 10 0.95 M M We have not had electricity since Christmas Day so this report goes back to the 20th. We started getting snow late on Dec 23. The 24th we had snow, fog and wind that blew the snow around making travel difficult. On the 25th, freezing rain started during the day and we lost power around 5:30pm. Then it really rained hard from the east, a most unusual sight. I made it out to gauge Dec 27 and we had 0.95 melted. We have not had any new moisture since then. Today we have sunshine but not much melting. I estimate another inch or two of new snow during this time. Gravel roads are still very ice covered and ditches are full.
1/2/2017 1/18/2017 10:00 AM 17 0.15 M M I finally made the dangerous trek out to gauge this morning. I had 0.15 melted in the gauge since the last reading. I noted snow flakes started about 11:00am Jan 2 and I estimated 1.5 to 2.0 inches the next day. On Jan 8 & 9, we had another estimated inch or less of snow on each of those days. It is very icy yet with snow on top of the ice from Christmas Day, making travel and walking very treacherous locally. The ice has never melted from the gravel roads as yet. We still have most of the ice and snow that has fallen as there have been no thawing days since Jan 1.
1/20/2017 2/14/2017 10:00 AM 26 0.13 M M I finally made trek out to gauge this morning after we have had some melting here so a little safer. The melted accumulation in the gauge was 0.13. We did have a few rain drops last Saturday and some snow flurries during January. We have enjoyed the warmer temps this week.
2/15/2017 2/22/2017 10:00 AM 8 0.07 M M Of this moisture, 0.05 was in the gauge yesterday am from light rain on Monday, Feb 20 and this morning I had 0.02 from light rain overnight. We have had heavy looking clouds move in this afternoon with moisture in the air and sidewalk damp. All our snow is pretty much gone except in the trees and hill sides.
2/23/2017 3/06/2017 10:00 AM 12 0.13 M M This is the total melted accumulation since my last report. It comes from a short burst of heavy snow on Feb 25.
