Brief light snow in the morning, very brief afternoon drizzle/mist (no icing), then windswept, powdery snowfall in the evening and overnight. The wind scoured the snow board of almost all snow; depths elsewhere (on the previously bare ground) vary markedly: 0.7” – 1.3” in open areas (average ~1.0”); ~2 – 6” near structures and tall vegetation. Steady temp since midnight at 23°F. |

(Observation notes added 7:55am.) Winter storm in progress. Heavy snowfall in windy conditions started midafternoon; 4.1” accumulated by 7pm. Notable drifting on north-south country roads observed ~5:15pm. Brief sleet/snow mix observed at 9:35pm. Low temp since midnight 28°F. At 7:15am today: Little wind, light snowfall, and 32°F. Storm total so far 5.2”. The top couple inches of snow are sticky with a few embedded layers of paper-thin icing. There is a wettish layer of sleet/freezing rain around the rim of the 4” gauge tube.

Winter storm ends— Jan. 17-18 snow total 5.3". A few light morning and afternoon snow showers. The snow board is swept clean; estimate new snow accumulation to be 0.1”. Winds picked up significantly— in the afternoon, observed vertical sheets of blowing snow, perhaps as tall as two- or three-story buildings, blowing across the farm fields. (Snow and blowing snow reports made via mPING app.) A midday high temp of 36°F gave way to single digit temps by ~6pm. Low temp since midnight -2°. |

Snow core sample collected at 4pm yesterday: snow core depth 6.0” (the snowpack average depth had settled from 6.5” to 6.0” since yesterday morning) with SWE 0.92”. Unable to collect the bottommost layer in the core sample (consisting of the 0.3” ice accretion from the Jan. 10-11 freezing rain event) due to it being too fused with the grass/soil. |

Steady light rain most of the day; 0.60” by 8:15pm. Additional 0.11” rain 8:15pm – 7:15am. Light afternoon fog thickened quickly in late afternoon— visibility diminished to less than 1/8 mile (Tweeted @nwsmkx and reported via mPING app). No flooding observed here— our landscape is soggy but not swampy or worse. I marked flooding as minor though-- yesterday the ditches along flood-prone River Rd. (a town road ~1.5 miles away and near the Little Sugar River) were full and just starting to go over the road. Total snow depth varies from 0” to 4” (mostly ~4.0”) in our measurement area, however most sunnier adjacent areas are snow-free or nearly so in our hilly rural terrain. [Correction 3/11: flood-prone area of River Rd. is ~3/4 mile away, not ~1.5.] |

Light to moderate afternoon snow flurries. The fluffy, clumpy snowfall began accumulating (estimated 0.2”) on the lawn ~3pm (snow melted as it landed on paved surfaces) but the new snow was almost entirely melted by 4:45pm. The snow flurries were rather beautiful and inspired the observer to short performances of a capella Christmas carols, apparently amusing and annoying family members in equal measure. |

:D The first day of spring brought the first thunder heard this year, plus washed away the remnants of the old snowpack. Observed a thunderstorm with brief heavy rain at 11:45am, followed by light to moderate rainfall. Precipitation 11:45am – 3:15pm 0.63”; 3:15pm – 7am 0.48”. Total 1.11”. Low temp since midnight 35°F. No flooding here. // Addendum 7:50am: Neighborhood creeks are over their banks with moderate flooding in fields and wetland areas. Water is flowing over flood-prone River Rd. near the Little Sugar River Bridge. This would be unusual flooding 5 years ago, but the last few years it is becoming more common or typical. |

Rain! The first since July 27th. Brief light rain shower at 1:50pm, and late afternoon thunderstorms with moderately heavy rain starting at 4:10pm. Rain total 0.50”. Experienced an electrical power outage at 5:09pm, and after power restoration our modem doesn’t work. Lightning?? But… it was also the third consecutive day of having an (unplanned) area power outage, and the first two outages were without storms or windy conditions present. |
