11/1/2019 7:55 AM 0.10 1.1 0.10 0.5 M I might be wrong, but my best judgement is that my core samples are more representative than the gauge catch. Gauge catch 0.01 inch. Snowboard in an open farm field averaged 0.3 inch of very icy snow. Took two core samples off the snow board, near northwest corner 0.09 inch liquid, near southeast corner 0.12 inch liquid. Average core 0.10 inch. Farm field averaged 0.3 inches on the ground, maximum 0.9 inches. At 6:10 pm I measured 1.1 inch average snow depth in grass, maximum 1.8 inches. I believe that to be most representative of new snow without the melting that occurred in the farm field. But for the overall area, the grassy area is negligible in size compared to farm fields, so I am using that as total snow on ground, rounded up to 0.5.

We did have some light flurries after that, but I do not think there was measurable accumulation. Currently, after blowing all night, in the open field the snow depth is 0-1.2, but the coverage of 0 is very small. I estimate the average at 0.8 inch, rounded off to 1.0. Some significant drifting, the deepest point along the north side of the neighboring corn field (corn still standing) is 22.5 inches. Very cold out this morning. 121259Z 15SM SKC

2/14/2020 8:00 AM T T M 2.5 M Windy conditions and drifting snow yesterday make it impossible to positively measure new snow but since there is only a trace of liquid in the gauge and the total snow is actually less than 7 am yesterday, trace seems like the best possible estimate. Apparently settling was greater than new snow. Maximum snow depth in the open field is 6.7 inch, but that is an isolated condition. There are also higher drifts near buildings, maximum depth 19 inches. 141528Z 15SM SKC

5/24/2020 7:00 AM 1.29 0.0 M 0.0 M At 4:15 pm I could see that we had slightly over 1 inch in the gauge but it looked like more was coming soon. I didn't time it, but was pretty sure that all of that fell in less than 1 hour. Before the heaviest part of the rain there was a tiny bit of disc shaped hail 3/8 inch diameter and 3/16 inch thick. No damage from hail, but may be some crop damage from standing water. At 4:52 pm I swapped out the gauge and measured 1.18 inches of rain. Have another 0.11 inches in gauge this morning.
