2/5/2018 8:50 AM 0.16 1.3 0.16 0.5 0.16 0.16" melted snow measurement taken from snowboard because north wind blew snow nearly horizontally, allowing very little to fall into the gauge. I don't know when the snow stopped, but it was still falling as late as 1:07pm. Partly cloudy at obs time: H5 cirrostrati N & E.
2/6/2018 7:00 AM 0.40 4.0 0.40 4.0 0.40 The 4.0"s & 0.40"s are exact measurements. 0.40" is a melted core value rather than gauge catch, as many flakes overflew the gauge rather than falling in. I don't know when the snow stopped, but it was still at it at 5:55pm. Clear sky at obs time.
