Snow began this morning between 5:00am and 5:30 am and continued until 1:30pm when I took the core sample. Using a ruler in several different areas of the yard showed a 2.5 inch average. The temperature at 4:00am was was 34° and has now fallen to 29°. The forecast low tonight is 15°. I'm sure this light fluffy snow, that is mostly slush now, will be dangerous ice before too long.

2/5/2018 7:18 AM 1.02 M M M M The gauge was covered with a thin coating of ice this morning, probably from the fog that started forming between the 3rd and 4th quarters of the big game. The inner cylinder and funnel were iced up and I brought everything in to thaw. My report includes the melted water from the funnel.
