We were away. Our son came by mid morning Oct 111 and got a 2-day storm total (2.5" snow , 0.22" water) and this is prorated to daily based on nearby reports) No core samples taken. We heard that the storm began with rain, lightning and thunder and changed quickly to graupel and then later to all snow. Low temperature dropped to near 20f or colder teens -- freeze drying leaves and clobbering fall gardens |

Delayed data entry. We were away and our son took observations but a bit late 2-day total was 1.44" Sep 7 was a memorable Labor Day with wild fire smoke so thick that the chickens roosted again before noon and streetlights came on. Quite a bit of ash fell, too. Then dramatic cold front arrived in the evening and rain began by midnight. High yesterday only near 70f due to dense smoke but nearby areas were at or above 90F. Low 30s by morning with about 0.3' of snow accumulated on elevated and/or grassy surfaces. Earlist snow we know of here. Dark, cold and wet this AM -- a welcome change SWE values estimated -- could be higher. Still snowing sloppy slush at 8 am this morning. |

Wonderfully soggy, snowy day. Slush during the day with little accumulation but then a period of heavy accumulating snow during the evening -- close to 5" on the ground at the deepest point. Fortunately, very little tree damage as temperatures stayed a bit warmer than predicted. High mid 30s and low near 30F. We were out of town for this whole event and our son took the observations -- and I entered them now over a month later. We've gone weeks now since then with no measurable precip. |
