The half-inch of snow (prior day) melted to less than 50% of ground cover, so I'm reporting zero for accumulation - but its presence is still tangible. I'm reporting partial frost due to snow presence and frost in shady areas. Ski area above us reports powder and 4" new for the 24 hrs

1/5/2020 7:05 AM 0.16 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overnight low 34.2 F, 24 hr high 39 F. Shower of graupel yesterday morning from 7:06am-8:10am. Snowing at ski area beyond and above us, Mt Baker, reports 10" for the 24 hrs, and now 107" base at Pandome.
1/6/2020 7:08 AM 0.46 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overnight low 32.9 F, 24 hr high 41.4 F. Snow-rain mix overnight, beginning at appx 11 pm - all reported here as rain. Ski area reports 17" new snow for the 24 hr period, and now 122" at Pandome (temp 25 F)
1/7/2020 7:03 AM 1.84 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overnight low 33.6 F, 24 hr high 39.9 F. Ski area above reports 16" new and 128" base at Pandome.
1/8/2020 7:03 AM 0.65 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overnight low 34.5 F, 24 hr high 44.2 F. Had snow mixed in with overnight rain, and there's new snow in the mtns surrounding us - visibly. WSDOT reporting snow, and ski area 12" new (Pandome now 130"), with temps 22-25 F That is credible.
1/9/2020 7:10 AM 0.23 1.0 0.23 0.5 0.17 Overnight low 30.4 F, 24 hr high (very brief!) 36 F. Accumulation (on ground) includes a layer of ice - I collected "new" using the tube, but use snowboards for "total~on ground"), have photos. Currently snowing very, very lightly. Ski area above-beyond us reported 5" new; 130" base at Pandome (elev 5,000 ft)
1/10/2020 7:00 AM 0.03 0.3 0.03 0.5 0.18 Overnight low 28.9 F, 24 hr high 33.8 F. Snowing very (very) lightly at times through the 24 hrs. Was able to remove a precise biscuit of ice-snow from the snowboard for the T-accumulated measurements (have photo) - its depth is actually .8" Have to use "half-inch" for T, so I'm forced to round down to .5" - ice accounts for much of the high SWE (for that volume). This is actually very accurate (I used both weight and melt methods)
1/11/2020 7:10 AM 0.62 0.4 0.11 0.5 0.22 Period began with snow - graupel and dendrites till noon. Warmed through the day and overnight; breezy. 24 hr low 31.6 F, 24 hr high 33.6 F. The Total Snow on Ground is covering about 60% of the ground, and what was on the board was half-ice, but it's melting fast in the warm rain (I expect it will be gone by this afternoon)
1/12/2020 7:19 AM 0.30 0.5 0.18 0.5 0.18 Weird mix of light snow & rain since 6:20 pm (1/11), ranging from graupel to spatial dendrites to sleet. Hovered at 32-33 F much of the time; roads slushy - and what's on the snowboard(s) is slushy. Going fwd, I see large wet flakes falling and b pressure is tanking (I switch-in a dry tube at "prior 24" measurement time). The 24 hr high temp spiked briefly at 37.9 F from 2-3 pm. Ski area above-beyond here reports 11" new (quite credible).
1/13/2020 7:20 AM 0.55 5.2 0.55 5.5 0.73 Overnight low 15.4 F, 24 hr high 34.7 F (extremely brief). Snow measurements: Principal measurement the Stratus tube, but also took four cores; and all had a thick under-crust (.5 to .7") compact snow and solid ice. Kept photos. Confirmed SWE by both wt and melt. This is accurate. FYI, Mt Baker Ski area reported 24" new for the 24 hrs; credible!
1/14/2020 7:12 AM 0.07 1.1 0.07 6.0 0.78 Overnight low 12.2 F, 24 hr high 20.5 F (abt 2 hrs). Extremely fine snow has fallen lightly but almost continuously over the 24 hrs; see snowflake report. These snow measurements are very accurate; I (both) weigh and melt multiple cores. "Total Snow and Ice" may seem high but there's about .7" ice and compacted snow still unmelted at the base of these (accum) cores. Mt Baker Ski reports 8" new and 158" snowbase at Pandome (5,000 ft) - credible.
1/15/2020 7:18 AM 0.49 10.1 0.49 14.0 1.25 Overnight low 12.4 F, 24 hr high 19.6 F. Very fine snow for most of the period; placed one NWS-Skywarn report for 1" in 45 minutes.
1/16/2020 7:15 AM 0.06 0.9 0.06 12.5 1.19 Overnight low 23 F, 24 hr high 31.5 F (brief heat wave, about 1-3 am (??)). Currently it's 24.3 F and heavily overcast. Accum snow has settled; perhaps some drift due to winds also. Ski area reported 8" new; 161" at Pandome (5,000 ft) - totally credible.

1/25/2020 7:00 AM 0.45 0.0 0.00 T T Overnight low 30.7 F, 24 hr high 42.6 F. About 25% of the ground still has about 1/2" snow; and despite nearly a half-inch of new rain, most standing water has infiltrated and is very much improved. Note: ski area reported 6" new snow, and that's credible given what's in view from here.
