At ob time this morning the board had 1.9", but I felt the 2" was more representative of what would have been there 6 hours after the 7:24 clearing -- so I went with 2 additional inches. Light snow at observation time. Will update SWE this afternoon.

12/13/2017 7:40 AM 0.41 4.9 M 8.0 0.65 A very interesting storm! Snow continued after my previously observation, although no accumulation was recorded. It's changed over to some light rain for a few hours, then changed back to a very sloppy snow. In the meantime, the snowpack had gotten quite ripe. Because of the sloppy conditions, the trees have a layer of ice under a layer of snow, and water was still dripping off the house even after temps fell solidly below freezing. Took a measurement at 8pm of 2.5", and again at 7:40am of 2.4". Total storm total is 7.1".
