Wind is causing very low-level cloud formation in the valleys, similar to scud clouds. Strong updrafts as the wind channels through the valleys and races up the side of the mountain. |

THIS STARTS PERHAPS AT 4,500 FOOT ELEVATION AND DEFINITELY BY 5,000 FEET. WIND SPEED VARIES FROM CALM TO SEVERAL MILES PER HOUR FROM THE NORTH.
{EDIT: Observer reported 0.50 for new precip. This is high compared to surrounding reports of 0.12 to 0.15 and it appears snow depth was entered by mistake. Changed report of 0.50 to NA until observer can be contacted to verify. Submission Time Before EDIT; 2/02/2020 8:23 AM CoCoSTAFF DNT} |

CLOUDY WARM MORNING WITH VARIABLE WIND DIRECTION AND VELOCITY. PRESENT UNOFFICIAL TEMP IS 49.5F, WHICH IS ABOVE AVERAGE DAILY HIGH TEMP. CLOUDS ARE MAINLY STRATUS CLOUDS AND APPEAR TO BE AT TWO LEVELS. THERE ARE LOWER LEVEL CLOUDS THAT APPEAR TO BE FORMING AS THE AIR COMING IN FROM A NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTION ENCOUNTERS THE MOUNTAINS AND RIDGELINES. HIGHER LEVEL CLOUDS APPEAR TO BE MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. HIGH ANOUNT OF WATER VAPOR IN THE AIR BECAUSE VISIBILITY IS 12 TO 15 KM; CAN OBSERVE ONLY TO THE THIRD OF FIVE RIDGLINES TO THE SOUTHWEST. SURPRISINGLY THERE IS STILL SNOW ON THE NORTH-FACING SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAINS AND RIDGELINES STARING NEAR 4,500 FEET. WIND IS VARIABLE IN DIRECTION, RANGING FROM NORTH, WEST, AND SOUTH; AND SPEED FROM ALMOST CALM TO 10 TO 15 MPH - TOPS OF TREES SWAY. |

ABOVE NUMBER IS TOTAL OF RAIN AND MELTED SNOW COLLECTED IN COLLECTION TUBE IN THE PAST 24 HOURS. CANNOT PROVIDE PERCISE MEASUREMENT OF SNOW ON GROUND BECAUSE OF THE VERY STRONG AND GUSTING WINDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THE GUSTS ARE ABOVE 35 MPH. THE SNOW HAS COLLECTED IN THE GRASS AND IS NO MORE THAN 0.5 INCHES IN DEPTH. IT IS STILL SNOWING BUT IT IS VERY FINE WIND BLOWN SNOW. IT FEELS SIMILAR TO A MIST BUT IS SNOW-ICE. CAN HEAR IT HIT THE HOOD ON THE COAT.

THE ACCUMULATED SNOW IS CONSISTENCY OF A POWDER. MEASURED AMOUNT IS ESTIMATE IN THAT THE STRONG GUSTY WINDS YESTERDAY BLEW THE SNOW OFF OF ANY FLAT SURFACE. MOST OF THE SNOW FELL HORIZONTALLY.

SNOW FELL HORIZONTALLY, SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS DAY DUE TO STRONG WINDS. TOTAL DEPTH OF SNOW ON GROUND ABOUT 1.5 INCHES. THERE HAS BEEN SOME MELTING OF OLD SNOW DUE TO GROUND STILL BEING WARM. I CAN GO TO A GRASSY FIELD AND GET ABOUT 3 INCHES MEASURED, BUT HAVE THE PROBLEMS MENTIONED IN COCORHAS VIDEO ON MEASURING SNOW DEPTH - HOW FAR OFF GROUND IS SNOW BECAUSE OF THE GRASS, HOW MUCH INTERACTION BETWEEN THE STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND DEAD VEGETATION ON GROUND. VISIBILITY IS APPROX 25 KM. ALTHOUGH CLEAR, THERE IS WATOR VAPOR IN THE AIR OVER THE RIDGELINES TO REDUCE VISIBILITY. |
