10/29/2019 7:00 AM 0.21 5.7 M 4.7 0.52 Snow stopped midday. Took new depth measurement then. Did not check gauge until this morning. Sun was out for afternoon, and accumulation in gauge melted completely. Good chance there was evaporation that affected this morning’s reading..
10/30/2019 7:00 AM 1.07 9.2 1.07 13.5 1.80 Gauge seemed have missed it in winds that may have reached 10-15 mph (anemometer claimed 8, but it is proven to read low. Considerable drifting around house. {EDIT: Observer reported 0.12 for new precip but notes indicate this could be inaccurate. 1.07 of new snow melted core might be more representative. Changed report of 0.12 to NA until observer can be contacted to verify. Submission Time Before EDIT: 10/30/2019 7:58 AM CoCoSTAFF DNT. CoCoCo RMG contacted observer. Will use New Snow SWE, though it may be a little high.}

11/6/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I've stopped measuring our dwindling snowpack, since it's so uneven, and I began to doubt the accuracy of existing-snow, water-equivalent measurements underlayed with grass. I'm going to put out a second board before our next snow event. I'll leave it under whatever collects to ensure I have a better surface for sampling existing snowpack.

11/26/2019 7:00 AM 0.13 3.9 0.41 M M Measurement difficult with light fluff drifting. Lawn is bare a few feet from snow board on one side, 12 inches on the other. This and glances at other surfaces suggest the 3.9 inches measured might be a good estimate. But water equivalent for this core seems high. At the same time, snow was piled on one side of the gauge, and I think much blew right over it.

2/11/2020 7:00 AM 0.25 6.9 0.54 7.0 M There was drifting during the early evening, with winds at about 10 mph. This seems to have blown snow past the gauge. My main snow boards are in a courtyard, between drifts. I think their accumulation, noted below, is more accurate than the gauge. Plan to move gauge when the ground thaws. Measuring the opposite (east) side of house, in the open, yields total snowfall of about 4 inches. Clearly being outstanding in our field makes measuring tricky.
